Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
I love a good wardrobe basic. In fact, the majority of my closet is made up of them. Ribbed tanks, knit dresses, cropped jeans, linen separates—you name it, I'm wearing it. And to avoid my summer outfits feeling, well, boring, I've amped up my accessory game. This summer has no shortage of exciting accessory trends, from platform sandals to retro sunglasses. And so far, I've been wearing the 30 pieces below the most. I talked through some of them in detail during a recent livestream shopping event, which you can watch here, but read on to get your full summer accessory fix.
Eliou
Rhye Necklace
This necklace somehow looks good with every summer outfit. (See above for proof.)
Prada
Symbole Sunglasses
The It sunglasses of summer 2022. I'm partial to the tortoiseshell style, but they come in black, white, nude, and more.
Reformation
Monetta Platform Sandal
Meet my dream wedding-guest shoes. The platform is key for dancing all night long.
Steve Madden
UO Exclusive Scrunchy Platform Sandal
These platform sandals are Gen Z
approved. I have the neon green, but I'm eyeing the cobalt blue.
Zara
Crochet Bobble Shoulder Bag
ICYMI, it's "crochet girl" summer. All apparel and accessories are fair game, but a handbag is a great place to start. And leave it to Zara to create the cutest option for only $50 in not one but three colors.
Reformation
Silk Scarf
A silk scarf can be tied in endless ways including as a headband, a top, or even a necktie. I was instantly sold on this one thanks to the chic Italian tile print.
Petit Moments
Checkered Claw Clip
I'm a sucker for a checker-print accessory.
Olga Berg
Penny Feathered Frame Bag
Feather bags are the perfect trend for evening attire. Think weddings, birthday dinners, or bachelorette parties.
Martha Calvo
Happy Hour Gold-Plated, Pearl and Bead Necklace
Beaded necklaces—especially the kind that look like they may or may not be a child's arts and crafts project—are everywhere this summer.
Free People
Royal Polarized Aviator Sunglasses
When I saw these retro frames were polarized, I instantly added them to my shopping cart.
Gucci
Logo-Embossed Sandals
Rubber jelly sandals in all silhouettes are popping up left and right, and it's no surprise that these Gucci sandals are my top pick.
Staud
Mini Corda Crossbody Bag
I love the large woven texture of this crochet bag. Plus, it's a crossbody, which is ideal for summer travel.
Adina's Jewel
Tiny Pearl Choker
The modern pearl trend is still going strong, so this necklace is a current favorite. You can wear it on its own, but I recommend layering it with other gold chains.
Adina's Jewel
Tiny Pearl Anklet
Exciting news: There's a matching anklet.
Mango
Raffia Shopper Bag
I have this raffia tote (a close cousin to crochet) in green and use it all the time for the beach. Now that it's on sale, I think I need the pink version, too.
Jacquemus
Le Bob Gadjo Cotton Logo Bucket Hat
I personally wear bucket hats all year round, but if there's one season to test out the trend, it's summer. This cotton one is easy to pack, adjustable, and has a cute bow-tie detail on the back. What more could you ask for?
Monday Swimwear
Saint Jean Bucket Hat
This raffia version is an equally good option. I'll be packing this on my next vacation without question.
Urban Outfitters
Lottie Beaded Pearl Necklace
Want to wear modern pearls and colorful beads together? Say less.
Le Specs
Outta Love Sunglasses
Another pair of '70s-inspired sunglasses I can't stop wearing.
Alo
Captivate Visor
Really into the tennis skirt and dress trend? Then it looks like you have no choice but to complete the look with a matching visor. I don't make the rules, but I do follow them.
Emi Jay
Super Bloom Clip
A $15 accessory that makes you feel like you're on vacation no matter where you are.
FP Collection
Delaney Fisherman Platforms
Pro tip: Style flirty summer dresses with fisherman sandals for a cool-girl look.
Maria Victoria
Multicolor Pattern Small Basket Bag
I just discovered this small business with the best basket bags handmade in Mexico. I already own two, but who's counting?
Pucci
Printed Silk-Twill Scarf
Pucci's prints never fail to impress me.
Aureum Collective
Thea Necklace
Ultra-chunky chokers may be a big summer jewelry trend, but you can't tell me this piece won't be in style for years to come.
Steve Madden
Khari Ankle Tie Sandal
I highly recommend scooping up these strappy sandals before they sell out, especially since they're currently 40% off.
Duper
Wrap Sunglasses
Sporty, futuristic sunglasses are a vibe, and at $20, they're a trend you won't regret trying.
B-Low the Belt
Maeve Mini Belt
Arguably the most random summer trend is the skinny belt, but I've been wearing this one with all my linen trousers.
Adidas
Superstar Sneaker
Bella Hadid loves this sneaker trend.
Vanina
L'Oiseau Rebelle Handbag
Another chic feather bag. Brides, this one's for you.
