Trend Talk: This season’s hottest local clothes and accessories

When it comes to style, you need to be ahead of the curve. You need to know what’s hitting this season and the local boutiques that carry it. We asked stores all over West Michigan what their hottest pieces are and they obliged. We also threw in some style tips so you know how to wear it all, because we’re cool like that.

 

This large brass adjustable ring is plated with 18K gold, rose gold or sterling silver and features an impressive green stone and cubic zirconia accents. Wear it with an all-black top so the color pop can’t be ignored. $45, autumnlace.com.

 

A practical purchase, this wallet/clutch combo holds your credit cards and ID, along with most phones. It’s from Kalio Chic, featuring the super popular Rifle Paper fabric. I think every purse deserves a fetching wallet in a contrasting print. $36, Pink Lemonade, Grand Rapids.

 

You can’t go wrong with a maxi skirt. This one from En Crème has a boho, prairie vibe. It’s the right amount of flowy and comfortable, and just a little bit sexy with those buttons and front slit. Do tanks or a chambray shirt with this number. $56, Spring Sweet, Holland. 

 

We dig the major day-to-night versatility in these vegan booties from Coconuts by Matisse, available in charcoal and natural colors. You can pair with cuffed skinny jeans, but don’t be shy — long dresses and skirts work too. $79, Lemongrass Life + Style, Grand Haven. 

 

It’s time you gave shampoo bars a try. Indulge in the fantastic aroma of sweet cherry and rich creamy almond, blended with bentonite clay and organic aloe to give you clean, healthy hair. Use it on nights when you know someone will be snuggling close. $7, fox-naturals.com 

 

There’s a tomboy-tough vibe here, a direct contrast to the feminine silhouette of this tied camo dress from Z Supply. The style begs for a fitted denim jacket and biker chic booties. $49, Sparrow Boutique, Muskegon.
