We've reached that inevitable point in the summer when it's too hot for complicated outfits. With the absence of complex styling options, it's time to let your accessories take the lead. While I typically stick to classic accessories, summer is the season to lean into those with more personality. This year, I'm particularly interested in the intersection between the two—accessories that are equal parts chic and fun.
As I've been browsing my usual retailers to bring you the best shopping picks, I've kept my eyes peeled for standout summer accessories. I've compiled a list of 30 options that are it. Think bold beads, tassel details, and long pendant necklaces. Of course, trends like resin accents and big bangles made the list, but I also sprinkled in some raffia, butter yellow, and shell motifs for good measure. Basically, if you throw any of these on with a white tank, you'll have yourself an outfit. Without further ado, below are the best summer accessories from Zara, Nordstrom, and Revolve.
