Athleisure is growing in popularity, and with it, comes some funky trends! Designers are loving both pastel colors, and neon hues this spring 2019 season. They have incorporated these colors into one of the hottest spring 2019 shoe trends of the season; the chunky sneaker.

Instead of hobbling around on 5″ heels this spring season, you can have happy feet planted safely inside of a funky, chunky pair of sneakers. Sneakers for spring 2019 are being shown with exaggerated soles, wedges, and larger-than-life treads. You won’t slip and fall in these shoes, that’s for sure!

When shopping for a pair of fabulous, and fashionable, chunky sneakers this spring 2019 season, look for neon hues, pastel colors, and notice-me designs. Your sneakers should not be quiet. The more colors on them, the better! This is the season for your funky, casual feet to shine! Enjoy the comfort!

If a mix of neon hues is too bright for you, and mixed pastels aren’t your thing, never fear, color blocked neutrals are here! Designers are also showing chunky street sneakers for spring in mixed neutral hues. You won’t have to sacrifice your understated, personal style on your footwear this season. You can still rock those neutrals while remaining on trend for the season. Love that!

Spring 2019 is almost here! While temperatures are still low outside, we can only dream of warmer days. In order to brighten up our current dreary days, we can add fabulous new spring 2019 handbag to our wardrobes! Yaaaas!

There are several new, and continuing trends in handbags for the spring 2019 season. While logo bags are still splashed all over store shelves, their staying power is dwindling. If you own a logo bag, keep it, but this is not the time to invest in one; unless it’s a classic Louis Vuitton style bag. You don’t want to purchase a trendy logo bag which will be easily identified as the height of 2018.

PVC bags have been rising in popularity, and are proving to be a strong, continuing trend for spring 2019. Also continuing in spring 2019, are classic black bags, basket bags, and macramé bags. If you still have yours from last season, or last year, you can still rock it! If not, these are great handbag styles to invest in for the spring 2019 season. Love that!

New for handbag trends spring 2019! The color trend in handbags is changing in the new year. For spring 2019, we are looking at pastel handbags which evoke a feminine vibe. But if pastels aren’t your jam, neon bags are here! The 1980s are a huge decade of influence in 2019, so look for neon handbags to be hot handbag trend in spring 2019. So when you are looking at colors, think black, pastel, or neon. Nothing in-between!

The spring 2019 handbag silhouettes include a continuation of the top flap handbag. We are also looking at small lady bags, train cases, pouches, and square handbags. The small handbag is the size of the moment. You don’t want a mini bag which fits nothing but lipstick, but you also don’t need a large bag that fits everything plus the kitchen sink. Small handbags fit your purse essentials for a light load, and that’s all you need this spring 2019 season.

When it comes to patterns, look for artist patterns, painterly designs, color blocked bags, multi-color weaves, and multi-hued purses. While a handbag can be loaded with several hues, they should still be in the pastel or neon color family. Think bright or slight.

PVC shoes and PVC handbags for spring 2019

You knew it was coming back! Clear bags and shoes have been popping up on the runways, and on the streets, for the past few seasons. Now, for the spring 2019 season, they are taking everyone’s closet by storm! That is, if you let PVC into your closet-and I hope you do!

PVC is a fun trend. Let’s face it. You can’t take jelly shoes, or clear handbags, too seriously. This playful trend is popping up mainly in the form of  PVC shoes, and PVC handbags; although, you will find it on other accessories, and on clothing.

The PVC trend has been fading in and out of style for the past five years. While it appeared to fade away roughly two years ago, it really emerged in 2018 to tell the world it was never really gone. In 2019, PVC plans to take over your closet-if you are brave enough to let it.

When it comes to shoes, the PVC trend can be tricky. As we know from the past, PVC is not nice to your skin when it directly rubs against it. PVC edges on shoes can leave you in stitches; literally. Also, PVC shoes that don’t have holes will turn your shoe into a swimming pool; not a good look, and not very comfortable at all. Plus, it’s gross. Ew.

When looking for PVC shoes this spring 2019 season, I recommend finding shoes with edging covered in something soft like leather. Or, look for jelly-like plastic.

Shop PVC shoes for spring 2019:

My favorite way to rock the PVC trend is with a handbag. A PVC handbag won’t hurt your skin, and it is quite fun! You can find PVC handbags in clear white plastic, as well as clear tinted plastic, and solid plastic. Just remember, the see-through plastic is the most on-trend for the spring season. The world wants to see what’s in your bag! Of course, if you don’t want to the world to see what’s in your bag, find one with a pouch; or you can use make-up bags from your closet to hide your belongings.

What do you think of the PVC trend for spring 2019? Will  you be rocking it, or skipping it? If you plan to rock it, are you a shoe or a handbag gal? I’m definitely a handbag gal; but you knew that right?! haha
