Polished to perfection : How to accessorize for summer

 

Summer is quickly approaching, and you’re just in time to peruse and update your accessory collection for the season! The upcoming months will be marked by warmer and sunnier days, requiring you to have all the items you need to complete your look and protect yourself from the elements.

Here’s how you can incorporate some of the trendiest summer fashion accessories into your wardrobe:

Structure and style

Handbags for women come in all shapes and sizes, but there are few particular styles that are on-trend for the upcoming summer. Small, cross body purses were all the rage on designer runways as were wristlets. In terms of larger bags, you should look for options that are structured, according to Vogue. These boxy versions will take any outfit from work to evening and are not only practical, but fashionable.

 

Take comfort

Although super-high heels will always have a place in the lexicon of women’s fashion, for summer the most popular shoes are ones built for comfort. Flat mules and slides add a sense of leisure to your style, with the latter option enabling you to incorporate a bit of sportiness to your wardrobe. If you’re looking for something with a little more lift, kitten heels have returned from their ’80s heyday. All of these choices pair well with casual looks and can be dressed up for fancier occasions.

Put your name on it

Women’s fashion jewelry goes through a number of fads every year and every season. Summer 2017 is no different, especially for necklaces. Choker necklaces show no sign of becoming less popular any time soon, but monogrammed jewelry is especially trendy. Find pieces that showcase your full name or just your initials. If you’re looking for a more classic look, pendant necklaces are a good option. These necklaces add class and polish to a more edgy outfit, like a dressy jumpsuit.

Purr-fect​ accessories

Are you a dog person or a cat person? To keep up with this summer’s shades trend, we hope it’s the latter! Cat​-eye fashion sunglasses give you ’50s flair with an otherwise modern look. These frames aren’t the only ones that are fashionable for the months ahead. Try circular or geometric-shaped shades in a variety of colors to add a little funk to your outfit. You can use these summer accessories to really round out a look. Trust us, it’ll be purr-fect.

Accessories are the perfect addition to any polished style. By incorporating trendy jewelry, sunglasses, shoes and handbags, you can make sure you look good from head to toe!
