As summer draws closer, you’ll want to swap out complicated layers for simpler attire, such as boho blouses paired with cutoff jeans, t-shirts with linen pants, or even replacing bandeaus and crops with bikini tops. Whatever summer look you choose, picking the right accessory can make all the difference.

This season, designers from Chloé to Zimmermann churned out a stylish array of accessories that can upgrade any summer wardrobe in a pinch. Have a no-fuss outfit that could use an extra bit of flavor? Try throwing on a silver chain belt or oversized sun hat to turn up the volume. Want to shake things up with your shoes and bags without buying new ones? Why not adorn them with a cheeky creature charm or ornamental anklets for extra aura points?
In case you haven’t noticed, there’s been a swarm of cheeky creature-like bag charms taking over the accessory scene this summer. Although they may technically be considered toys, there’s nothing juvenile about this trend, with
mischievous Labubus selling out across the internet and high-end designers, such as The Elder Statesman and Versace, also putting out their takes on the creature charms.
When it comes to summer trends, there’s always room for oversized sunnies. Not only do these massive shades offer optimal protection from UV rays (and can help you go incognito mode), but they also lend an air of allure and sophistication to straightforward summer outfits.
Pair them with a silk scarf or chunky collar necklace for even more decadence.
The hottest accessory trends leave minimalist styling behind in favor of opulence this summer. Take gold rings, for instance. Instead of just wearing one per finger, brands like Chloé and Valentino layered their precious pieces for a more grandiose glisten.
When picking out your stacks, look for options with depth and texture for heightened visual interest.
