Everyone has a favorite season for dressing, but for me, that has changed over time. In my younger years, I loved the art of layering—mixing sweaters, jackets, and scarves in the fall. However, as life has become busier, I've shifted toward simplicity. Now, summer has become my sartorial sweet spot. I can throw on a basic pair of jeans or a flowy dress and let the accessories do all the talking.
In fact, I've become something of an expert in the accessory game. My collection of silk scarves, pendant necklaces, stackable rings, bangles, raffia totes, and retro sunglasses has taken on a whole new life. If you're wondering where I find the chicest pieces, my answer is Shopbop and Revolve.
To give you a peek at what's currently in my shopping cart, I've curated an edit of 28 accessories I'm eyeing to elevate my warm-weather wardrobe. Think of it as a cheat sheet for building the perfect accessory lineup. And since I can't stick to just two sites, I ventured out to a few others and stumbled upon even more gems that I just had to share. So, ahead, indulge in the ultimate summer accessory haul, and happy shopping!
