Time to fill out your summer wardrobe again but don’t know what to accessorize with? Sit back, relax, and let me give you some options!
- Chic oversized totes
Whether it’s from your favourite small business or a big brand you’ve been saving up to shop from, you should definitely have a fun tote bag to match those summer dresses and Birkenstocks. Tote bags are perfect for class, and seamlessly transition to when you decide you need a trip to the beach. With summer right around the corner, now is the perfect time to get one!
- Statement sunglasses
Part of the fun of planning an outfit is picking out accessories, and sunnies are some of my favourite. Whether it’s statement sunglasses you’ve had your eye on so that you make an impression at brunch, or you just want to complement an outfit and pull the look together on casual or more dressy days, a fun pair of statement sunglasses provide the best look, especially if you’re planning on heading to a summer festival!
- Printed scarves
A good, printed scarf is your best friend – make it formal for a business meeting or turn it into a casual top for a party. Either way, these look effortlessly stylish and are sure to fetch you tons of compliments. Combine it with a fun eyeliner look, cute shoes and a sunny day and you’re ready to go!
- Layered necklaces, earrings and chunky rings
Necklaces and rings are the easiest and most stylish ways to add to an outfit. Make it the highlight of your look by getting statement earrings, layer your necklaces or wear your favourite chunky rings with an outfit that makes you feel good! Combine bright hues with subtle ones or wear a gold jewellery look. Better yet, mix it with silver pieces and your favourite boots and you’re ready to go!
- Hats
Summer is the season to bring out playful hats and hair accessories. For the days when you’re too lazy to wash your hair or if you just need some extra sun protection, grab a hat to add to your look! To break out of your style comfort zone and compliment your personality, play with colours and pick the brightest, happiest, combinations! Then, grab a drink and a beach blanket, sit by the pool, and enjoy!
- Shoes
Whether you’re a Birkenstock person, someone who loves their collection of heels, or someone who likes to find unique shoes to show off, add a splash of sea and mix blues with neutrals, have fun with colours and show off, or go as minimalistic as you’d like. Just remember that whatever you’ve got in mind is only one google search away!
