Not everyone has the money to invest in a brand new summer wardrobe every year. Instead, opt for trendy accessories to freshen up your look without breaking the bank. Bags, shoes and other accessories allow you to try out new trends without spending a fortune and without taking any fashion risks.
When temperatures are at their highest, look for garments that combine form and function, protect you from harmful UV rays and add a touch of style.
1. Lightweight Summer Scarf
Lightweight summer scarves are the perfect way to add a pop of color to your everyday outfits. Wrap a lightweight scarf around your neck to dress up with jeans and a t-shirt, or wear it with your favorite dress to stay warm in overly air-conditioned buildings. Scarves are also great for adding some color to your outfit, and many can even be worn as a sarong for when you need extra protection at the beach.
2. Sunglasses
Sunglasses are an indispensable accessory for the summer. Not only do they protect your eyes and help minimize skin damage, but a great pair of sunglasses simply makes you look stunning in a way no other accessory can.With so many designs and materials to choose from, trying out different styles is half the fun.
3. Hats
Nothing emphasizes summary elegance better than an oversized flapper hat. Adding a touch of elegance to even the most casual of outfits, this classic piece is perfect for both an outdoor wedding and a beach wedding. Try a classic straw hat for a timeless look, or opt for raffia hats in white, black or neutral tones for a more sophisticated style.
4. Sandals
Sandals are the perfect compromise between traditional high heels and flip flops and ultra-casual summer flats.Wedges are comfortable enough for a stroll in the park or on the boardwalk, yet stylish enough to add a flirty, on-trend look to jeans, dresses and capris.
5. Classic clutch bag
Leave the oversized bags at home this summer and lighten the load with a classic clutch bag.These small bags hold only the essentials so you can travel light and comfortable on hot, foggy summer days. Choose a simple clutch in a neutral hue for an always stylish bag that you will wear for years, or try trendy trends with neon colored clutches or straw bags with wood or leather trim.
