Notable Neutrals
When it comes to stylish summer accessories, few things are as big of a staple as good old-fashioned neutrals. Think raffia, woven fabrics, linen, etc., These neutrals are a great way to incorporate a bit of summer edge to your summer staples. I’m especially loving this elegant hat for a timeless summer statement!
White Wonders
The beauty in white accessories? They can be worn with almost any color, making these finds versatile and easy-to-style closet additions. After seeing these fabulous sandals on a friend, I knew they deserved a spot on this blog. Such a chic statement that can be styled all summer long (more sizes available here).
Color Crushes
Eeeek!! These fabulous finds just SCREAM chic summer style. Summer is the season of bold colors, and these finds are the perfect way to embrace that! This fabulous scarf is perfect on its own, as a hair accessory, tied on a bag, etc.! You can also never go wrong with a bold, colorful bracelet stack!
Powdered Perfection
There’s something about pastels that can add such an airy and breezy summer touch to your closet. Opting for a chic beaded bag or a stylish statement sandal, these finds will add a summery coastal air to any outfit.
Best Ways to Incorporate Stylish Summer Accessories
Okay, we’ve gathered our new accessories… So now what?! Fashion is subjective, so truly whatever feels right to you is the right call. However, I thought I’d give a few fun tips for incorporating your new stylish summer accessories.
- Identify a hero: As my friend Bonnie Smith, founder of SWB Agency, says, pick a “hero” item in every outfit and let it lead. If it’s a bold blouse or statement bag, opt for coordinating pieces rather than competing pieces. This gives the hero room to shine!
- Play with texture and natural materials: Raffia, straw, linen, and shell accessories are hallmarks of summer. Incorporating these staples is an easy way to channel easy, breezy summer vibes.
- Lean into layers: Layered necklaces, stacked rings, and mixed bracelets are an easy way to elevate any summer look. Such a small way to make a big statement!
- Embrace color, even in small doses: Not ready for a color-filled ensemble? Add color in small ways through earrings, hair accessories, bags, or shoes to instantly brighten up a neutral look.
- Have fun with it: The beauty in stylish summer accessories? There’s so much room for creativity. Have fun with it and let your style shine this summer!
