We all know that accessories make an outfit, and that rings especially true in the summer when the clothes are minimal and styling tricks are limited. As temperatures near or top triple digits, your clothing consideration becomes less about personal style and more about staying cool. That's where summer accessories come in—specifically summer jewelry. A fun necklace or bold earring can transform a basic tank-and-skirt outfit into something inspired. Even swimsuits can suddenly become looks with the addition of a few key jewelry pieces.
Organic materials like pearls and resin, sea-inspired shapes, and colorful beads are sprinkled throughout the jewelry collections our favorite designers are offering this summer, and I'm fully on board. As someone who typically goes more classic with jewelry, I think summer is a time to really have fun with your accessories and lean into personality pieces, from layers of pearls to exaggerated shells and sculptural cuffs. Below, you'll find the best summer jewelry for the 2024 season.
