5 Must Have Summer Accessories
Now that the weather is warming up & we’re banishing our winter garms to the back of the wardrobe & bringing the summer ones to the front, it’s time to think about our summer accessories. Not everyone has the spare cash laying about to invest in new accessories every year, so, it’s best to focus on fashionable add-ons just to update your look without overspending. Accessories help you to try current trends without taking a big fashion risk. There really isn’t the ‘perfect’ summer accessory, but when the temperatures start to rise you should choose pieces that protect you from the rays as well as making you look stylish, so, here’s our choices…
Light Summer Scarf
A light summer scarf is the perfect cover up for those chilly summer evenings, or worn at work when the office is overly air conditioned adding a splash of colour to your outfit. A scarf looks great worn with jeans as a belt or around the brim of your favourite summer hat. On the beach for extra coverage, wrap a large scarf around you & use as a sarong – the brighter the better!
Summer Hats
A chic summer hat adds a touch of glamour to any outfit. The wider the brim the better coverage from the sun’s rays. Try a classic floppy straw or fedora. As we mentioned above, wrap a bright scarf around the brim of a floppy to change its appearance, be bold.
Classic Clutch
Lighten your load with a classic clutch & leave the oversized tote at home. Although you can only carry your essentials, a clutch allows you to travel light during the warm & humid days of summer. Choose neutral shades that you can use year after year.
Sandals
A cute, comfortable pair of sandals are a must. Something strappy that you can dress up in the evening with a flirty dress or dress down in the day with jeans or capris.
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are absolutely necessary for summer for eye protection to minimize the sun’s rays. Not to mention that they give added ‘cool’ to any outfit. Retro 60’s inspired sunglasses are currently hot, but, you can’t go wrong choosing a classic design that will always be in fashion.
