Best accessories for summer outfits

Why choose summer accessories?

We hear you Google. Well, the great thing about adding accessories is you can have a wardrobe refresh without having to buy a whole new outfit. And, it gives you a chance to add a personal touch, whether it’s a bag customised with your initials or a cool piece of jewellery that just feels totally you. Read on to discover some of our top men’s and women’s accessories.

How to choose accessories for summer

Not sure where to start? Think first about what kind of style you like. There’s no use in buying accessories that aren’t really you. Maybe you prefer a more classic look, or maybe you prefer to follow the trends. If you’re feeling really stuck, take a look at our Pinterest for some ideas.

Another thing to think about is what you’ll be up to this summer. If you’re heading to a festival, you might want to add some sequins or colour to your wardrobe. Off somewhere hot? You’ll definitely need some sunnies and maybe even a hat to keep you protected from the sun.

The best summer accessories

It’s time to accessorise, people. Here are our top summer style picks… 

Sunglasses

For obvious reasons sunglasses are an essential summer accessory. Pick from fun heart shades or perhaps even a pair made from recycled fishing nets to make yourself look like a real catch (sorry, we had to). Oh, but it doesn’t end there – you can even accessorise your accessories! Add a chain to your glasses or pick out a snazzy, personalised case to keep them safe in style. 

Jewellery
When it comes to jewellery, you’re incredibly spoilt for choice on our marketplace. Think colourful beads, pearls, shell necklaces, anklets and so much more. If you’re heading to the sea or chilling by the pool, waterproof jewellery is great as you won’t need to worry about taking it off.

Hats

Wearing a hat during summer is not only practical but it can really pull an outfit together. Find bucket hats for festivals, customisable caps, straw hats and more you’ll love. A cowboy hat made from recycled denim? Yee-haw. 

Bags

You’re always going to need a bag, whether it’s a rucksack for all your hiking essentials or an ‘everything bag’ for your suncream, vintage vaseline and old receipts. And, you can even add in some fun personalised touches like a monogram of your initials. 

Bag charms

Bag charms are having a real moment right now and we’re totally here for it. Choose from joy-filled accessories – think dachshunds, cowboy-inspired charms, strawberry air tag holders and so much more. *Adds everything straight to basket*. 

Socks

Looking for a quick way to add a pop of colour to your outfit? Socks are your new best friend. And, summer is a great excuse to try out a more jazzy pair. Avocados on your feet? We can’t explain it but it just makes sense.
