Updating your wardrobe this summer? Before you buy a ton of new dresses, consider also adding some choice accessories to liven up your current clothing. Adding a beautiful hat, necklace, scarf or handbag can instantly add some pzazz. Read on for some of our favourite accessories to try this summer season in 2022.
What to look for in summer accessories?
When it comes to choosing great accessories to see you through the summer season, think about:
- Sun protection: This is a big one – if you’re attending outdoor events, you’ll want to have something that keeps you shielded from the sun but also looks chic.
- Colour Palette: Opt for lighter colours or bold, bright pinks and oranges.
- Lightweight materials: Velvet and summer just don’t go together. Think about vegan leather or acrylic for summer.
- Florals: Everything is in bloom so why not match your accessories to the mood!
What to avoid?
There are of course no hard and fast rules, except to wear what makes you feel comfortable! However, we think the following are best avoided in the summertime:
- Dark colours: Deep burgundy, purples and reds are preferable for winter season.
- Heavy materials: Velvet just doesn’t feel like it works for summertime
