Floral Scarf
These trendy little neck pieces aren’t just for winters. Ever got that feeling when you throw on a plain white shirt and, somehow, it just doesn’t feel right, as if there’s something missing? Next time try popping it up with a cool floral printed scarf to brighten up the dull look. The materials you should focus on are chiffon, cotton, or even silk for a pinch of elegance. For summers, pink roses, yellow tulips, blue orchids, and green hydrangea floral prints would look great on you! Just as sour straws can be twisted into countless shapes, well, so can a scarf. You choose to decide how you want to wear your scarf, whether you’d like it rolled around your neck or simply leave it hanging down from both ends.
Floppy Hats
In case you haven’t heard, sun-burnt skin is not in style. So go an extra mile and get yourself a floppy hat, to not just compliment your outfit but also protect your skin. Sand beige, tortilla brown, garnet maroon, and ivory are the must-have shades this summer. The wider they are, the better. Preferably choose an oversized floppy hat that gives a classic look and brings out the elegance in you.
Leather Belts
All it takes is a petite coffee brown leather belt to bring a plain white sundress back to life. Peanut brown and raven black are the go-to leather belt shades to grab. Whether you feel retro and choose to wear jeans as your “OOTD” or decide to wear a summertime dress for the day, a pair of skinny leather belts can add a lot more to your look than you think so. It’s not just about ‘looking good,’ but also about accessorising and styling what you wear.
Classic Clutches
Why bring those hard to carry oversized duffle bags when all you need is a classic summer coloured clutch to compliment the look? That’s right! Leave those huge old-school bags at home. They are no longer in style, especially during the summer heat when we all feel like dressing up in is a piece of cloth and carrying nothing but our phones. And guess what? Our phones fit perfectly! Those trendy little book and cocacola shaped clutches are all over the web. I’d suggest you to choose something small and unique at the same time, like a perfume or camera shaped clutch.
Sunglasses
Sorry guys, but exposing your eyes to dangerous UV radiation has never been in fashion. With style comes comfort, and with comfort comes protection. Who are we kidding? Sunglasses have always been the must-have accessory every girl should own. Nothing can make you look cooler than a pair of great sunglasses. With countless designs and shades to choose from, be sure to pick the one that compliments your pretty face effortlessly. The wrong pair of shades may not allow you to stand out as you had desired, but the right trendy looking pair will leave others envious, and you still get to look breathtakingly beautiful!
