The temperature is finally warming up and Summer is almost here. While most of us are trying to get our summer bodies ready, our wardrobe might be feeling a little left out.
How often do you update your wardrobe? If it’s been a few years, you might not be sure what styles are ‘in’ and what’s out. Summer is the time to show off your fashion sense with all sorts of accessories.
Lucky for you, we’ve compiled a list of 9 Spring and Summer accessories you need to have in your wardrobe this year. Keep reading to know what accessories to buy to spice up your Spring and Summer wardrobe.
1. Mini Handbags
As women, we rarely leave the house without a bag. We don’t have much of a choice when so many of our clothes don’t have pockets available. Handbags are a must more than an option.
Contrary to popular belief, they don’t always have to be large. Having a mini handbag in your accessory shelf will give you a quick option to throw your keys, ID, credit card, and phone in when going out for the night. Luckily, these won’t cost you much to add to your wardrobe and they’ll complete your outfit perfectly.
2. Straw Hats
When packing for your next vacation, this is a staple you can’t forget. With models walking down the runway in an array of hats made entirely of straw, it’s safe to say they are back in 2018.
Practical and stylish, straw hats help keep sunburn from your skin and keep the sun out of your eyes while on the sand or in the water. Make sure to grab one before you hit the beach. These are just the first of many summer fashion trends coming out in 2018 and we’re excited to see what else is in store.
3. Cat Eye Sunglasses
Speaking of keeping the sun out of your eyes, everyone needs a pair of sunglasses during these sunny seasons. Instead of grabbing a neutral pair, consider going cat-eye this year.
The traditional oval shapes with rounded edges are being reworked to mimic a cat eye, creating a more curvaceous form. While big rounded glasses have been the trend for the past few years, try out this new sunglass shape – it might just be the purrfect fit for your face shape.
4. Statement Necklaces
A statement necklace is an easy accessory that can dress up or dress down any outfit in a pinch. Not only will they complete your outfit, but they’ll bring all eyes on you and make quite the statement.
The best part? There are so many ways a necklace can stand out – the colors, shapes, and sizes are endless. Opt for a long, draped necklace or choose a shorter style which looks great on pear-shaped figures.
5. Pearls
Pearls never go out of style, and this year is no different. A classic in any wardrobe, a strand of pearls goes perfectly with any outfit and is great for any occasion.
A pair of pearl earrings with a matching bracelet or a strand of pearls around the neck makes you look put together and sophisticated with minimal effort. Look through your jewelry collection and we bet you’ll find something with pearls just waiting to be worn.
6. Hair Wraps
Sometimes our outfits are on point, but our hair… well that needs some cooperating. Instead of fighting to get it to fall at the right angle or taking over an hour to style it, why not just add a hair wrap?
Adding a silk scarf to your accessory list this season allows a multi-functional wardrobe option for both your hair and your outfits. Running late or not sure what to do with your hair? Simply put it in a low pony and wrap your hair up with a silk scarf.
Not only does this keep your hair low-maintenance but it adds style to your outfit without even trying.
7. Anklets
Need something to go along with that Summer pedicure? Consider fun and flirty accessories like anklets! These have made it back on the hottest trend list the last few years and don’t seem to be going anywhere anytime soon.
Perfect to wear with flip flops and sandals, anklets add some flair to your style with a variety of options to choose from. Check out the boho-chic or more elegant and dainty styles to see what will highlight your wardrobe this season.
8. Fishnet Socks
If you’re looking for more of a statement to add to your 2018 summer accessories, check out the fishnet socks. Instead of going full-on fishnet stocking, this option is shorter and super trendy.
Though they are at the top of some trend lists, we also find them practical. They keep your feet cool with their mesh texture and are perfect for the summer season. Add these to an outfit with a great pair of pumps or open-toed sandal.
9. Dress Belts
Do you ever feel like sometimes your outfit is missing something, and no amount of jewelry or hair accessory is helping? Sometimes something as simple as a belt will really do the trick.
Though this won’t always work, adding a belt to your dress will give your body more of a shape and help highlight the areas you want – or hide the areas you don’t.
Finding a belt that can accent a certain color in your dress or even accentuate the style will make your outfit trendy and amazing all at once. Most dress belts are available on any website – have fun picking one out that matches your style!
Spring and Summer Accessories
While some of these styles are new, others just need a refreshing look to spice up your wardrobe this season. Who knew fishnet socks would make their way into the fashion world?
Adding a set of pearls or a simple anklet can really spice up an outfit for a night out or even a casual night in. We hope these 9 spring and summer accessories help boost your wardrobe style. Check out beauty page for hacks and tricks to get you ready for summer.
