Loewe

All eyes are on you this spring, so make sure you’ve got the shoes and bags for it.

From oversize trenches and crafty cutouts to 3D florals and float-away frocks, spring runways radiated with the beauty and boldness of unapologetic maximalism. And to our delight, accessories followed suit in stunning silver and ultra-bold gold—boasting the wow factor we’d expect for this season’s dazzling look-at-me lineup.

Ferragamo presents bow-topped retro slides with a brilliant gold foil sheen, while AllSaints makes the case for country glamor in a sexy metallic ode to the classic cowboy boot.

This season comes with so many ways to stand out, and why not? With their light-catching charm, metallics are made for spring’s sunny days. Shop these lustrous picks and more at South Coast Plaza.
