"On a scale from 1 to 10, how accessorized to you usually get? (1 being sensible shoes and a belt to keep your pants from slipping down, while 10 means wearing something--or several somethings--from every accessory category there is, so that you&amp;#x27;re one big glamorous jumble of doo-dads.) Got your number? Good. Now peep at these barely accessorized spring looks from the spring runways and tell me if you think less is more, or if these lovely ladies are missing something:The oh-so-wise and wonderful Coco Chanel is often credited with saying &amp;quot;Before you leave the house, take one thing off [from your outfit],&amp;quot; a style tip that&amp;#x27;s been helping us gals avoid fashion DON&amp;#x27;Ts for 40 years and counting. And it looks like this season, designers are really taking her advice to heart, ditching nearly all the accessories except for the essentials: shoes to get you to and fro, and a bag to carry daily life&amp;#x27;s kajillion little must-haves. Most of fashion&amp;#x27;s big guns are going all low-key and minimalist on us for spring including... Stella McCartney While Stella never goes overboard with accessories (she does however, love a little lace!), for spring she landed a 4 in the accessory-o-meter, whipping up simple stacked-heel sandals and a handful of shoulder strap bags (all leather free, &amp;#x27;natch). Fun side note: for her very first Paris fashion show, Lea Michele sat front row with us, proudly wore her vegan Stella shoes and even met Sir Paul McCartney after! No wonder she was pinching herself on Saturday night. Celine The fashion crowd is loving the sharp, fuss-free styles Phoebe Philo is designing for Celine these days. Low-slung trousers, crisp and creative shirts, plus simple yet bold-to-wear hues of white, indigo and emerald--but there were hardly any accessories. (And this after everyone started lusting after Celine&amp;#x27;s fall handbags!) The rep on this street is that Philo&amp;#x27;s pieces are &amp;quot;confident clothes for confident women&amp;quot; because there&amp;#x27;s nothing to hide behind when you&amp;#x27;re wearing such straight-forward, un-embellished threads. (Me, sometimes I need an attention-getting necklace to hide the fact that I did a bad job hemming my pants. Don&amp;#x27;t tell anyone.) Martin Grant While not as well known as Celine or Stella, I had to include some snaps of Martin Grant as he&amp;#x27;s going for the minimalist, un-fussy thing too this season--but I just love how he used a bold lip as the one-and-only accessory! So easy! So sweet! The Row Now, sadly, I can&amp;#x27;t show you any photos of Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen&amp;#x27;s spring collection for The Row, as photos were banned (I did manage to sneak this one in on Twitter) BUT I can say that the lovely ladies were there themselves (wearing black and with Ventis in hand) to talk us through their crazily elegant spring line--all of which was streamlined and simple in black, cream or in some pale, muted hue. (Maybe they decided enough was enough with the big accessories after Ellen Degeneres gave them those over-sized totes and sunglasses?) So ladies, as you can see, there&amp;#x27;s not a whole lot going on in the necklace/earrings/bracelet/hat/scarves/rings/etc departments this spring. If you decided take the minimalist, accessory-free approach, think that&amp;#x27;ll make your life easier or a little less exciting? And back to the first Q: on a scale of 1 to 10 how accessorized do you normally get? I think I&amp;#x27;m a 6: I always have a watch, a few rings, a small necklace, a pair of high heels and a pair of flats stashed in my too-big bag! I think wearing an outfit without any accessories is...survey software Latest Tweets!Follow us on Twitter!jQuery(&amp;quot;.blog-tweets&amp;quot;).tweet({username:[&amp;quot;glamour_fashion&amp;quot;,&amp;quot;cindi_leive&amp;quot;], count: 3}); More Ways to Get Glamour: Got a fashion Q?
