Summer is here, which means it’s time to trade in your sweaters for something more fun in the sun. Of course, no outfit is complete without the right accessories. Read on to learn everything you need to know about accessorizing for summer.
Sunglasses are a must during the summer months, which means it’s important to find a pair that matches with your June-September clothes. Since summer outfits tend to be light and colorful, your sunglasses should be the same. Red, yellow, or blue frames in particular should fit the season perfectly.
Spice it up with frames that include flower prints or paint splatters; summer is the time to be bright and bold! If you’re tired of plastic, try out some wood framed sunglasses instead. They’re a great way to give your outfit a vintage look, and to stand out from the crowd.
Hats that protect you from the sun and keep your hair off your face and neck are an essential part of a summer wardrobe. Straw hats with plenty of ventilation are a classic choice, and come in a variety of designs to fit your mood and outfit.
A simple, light scarf can keep your hair under control and add a touch of sophistication without the bulkiness of a full hat—this means they are perfect for travel! Scarves and turbans are also a great way to add color and flair to an outfit, and are sure to give you a distinct look while still keeping you comfortable.
When it comes to summer jewelry, it’s all about the earrings. If you’ve been avoiding long, dangly, or ornate earrings the rest of the year, now’s the time to get them out. Summer jewelry should be playful and fun, and your earrings should be making a statement.
Necklaces and bracelets can be hot and uncomfortable during the warm summer months, especially when they’re thick or bulky. However, how many of us are willing to go without a little sparkle on our necks and wrists? Not many! Just remember to stick with a simple, thin chain of gold or silver, or something similarly small and uncomplicated.
Like the rest of your summer accessories, your handbag should be something light and comfortable. Don’t go for a fussy bag with too many pockets when something smaller or simpler will do—it’ll be easier to carry, and you’ll have to stick to taking just the things you really need.
