It’s often touted in fashion circles that accessories make the outfit (or perhaps that’s just something I’ve always heard from my accessory-obsessed mother?), and there is no time this notion rings truer than in spring and summer. With puffers and outfit-covering coats put away, the warmer months are when accessories can really shine, be it a sleek pair of shades, a statement-making necklace or a fun printed scarf.
If you’re looking to add a pop of personality to your look without breaking the bank, an interesting accessory is one foolproof way to do so. With this in mind, I set out to find some affordable summer accessories that will work to enhance any outfit. I trawled through the web, using influencers as my inspiration to see what’s already trending online, and of course, the style set did not disappoint.
From mood-boosting jewellery to sun-smart bucket hats and those ubiquitous chunky flats, keep scrolling for seven affordable accessory trends I’ll be trying this summer.
