Tip: Summer Accessories

It’s very easy to add interest to an outfit in cool weather because any number of things can be added, but summer is more tricky because of the heat! Here are the ways that I’ve been accessorizing this season.

Jewelry

  • Coordinate jewelry for a statement!

  • Think fun earrings, necklaces, and bracelets. I was going to pick a category that I especially love, but I love them all!

  • Even just a cute earring or simple bracelet can make a difference and help pull an outfit together.

Hats

  • Hats can be practical and cute!

  • Bucket hats are not my aesthetic favorite, but they can be cute and definitely shade your face.

  • Woven hats are very summery.

  • Wide brim hats are great for protecting your skin.

  • A classic baseball cap is always a great option!

Bags

  • Straw bags always look summery.

  • Try a bright color!

  • White pops nicely.

  • Don’t knock it til you try it, but a fanny pack worn cross body is great for active days!

Belts

  • Belts are a great way to add color, improve fit, and pull together an outfit. I wouldn’t necessarily recommend one on an incredibly hot day, but they are definitely wearable!

Scarves

  • Usually not comfortable in hot weather, but there are options!

  • Consider worn as a shawl on a chillier evening, tied on your bag, or worn as a belt or tied on a belt loop.

Below are some photos from this summer featuring examples of the accessories I’ve described above!
