It feels more exciting than ever to get dressed this spring and summer. And as you get set to refresh your closet this season, pay special attention to standout accessories you can use to update your existing wardrobe. After all, it can feel like, at least clothing-wise, last spring and summer didn't even happen: Old favorites and new purchases sat untouched in the closet as we figured out what the heck we were doing and how to dress for work and life that happened in the same space.
With this spring's wardrobe more than ready for some airtime, here are some of our favorite new accessories that will add a fresh feel, spot of color, or runway trend.
1. A Bright Bag
When you go bold with hue, stay simple with shape: No one does that better than Coach, a heritage brand that's mastered both poppy colors and timeless lines.

It's hard to get excited about a face mask these days, but an intriguing hybridization of a silk scarf on top of another fitted covering gives the look a fresh spin.

3. A Cheerful Wallet
When it comes to style, the best choices are the ones you make for yourself—not to impress anyone else. With that in mind, consider upgrading the little things that aren't always on display. A luxuriously grained wallet in a bright color is something you'll use every day.
