Fringe is nothing new — the '70s-inspired trend has been everywhere as of late. For Spring however, things get a quirky-cool twist: bright colors, metallics, and unexpected placement are the modern updates you'll soon be craving.

Fold Over

Are you feeling the fold? We spotted this closure style on everything from clutches to crossbodys, meaning we won't have to worry about fumbling with zippers and buckles once the warm weather rolls around.

Have the designers been taking their cues from Kate Bosworth? The star's favorite bag style — something with a top handle — is taking over the runways. If you love classic, feminine designs, you'll totally want it on your shopping list.

Hangin' On

We usually spot this loop-like strap solely on clutches, but for Spring '16, the bags are a bit bigger. Just slip you hand through and let the bag fall for a supereasy way to hold your stuff.
