The Right Extras Carry the Whole Look
A hot girl summer isn’t really about following a strict rulebook, and that’s exactly why you have so much room to play around! The whole idea is really based more on feeling confident, playful, and ready for whatever the day decides to become. That’s not to say that the right accessories won’t help, though, and that’s why we’ve narrowed down a few of them!
Oversized Sunglasses
Oversized sunglasses bring instant attitude without asking too much from the rest of your outfit. They also just make a whole outfit pop and add a bit more elegance to your wardrobe. Whether you’re walking to the beach or pretending errands are a runway moment, a bold pair makes the whole thing feel more put-together.
A Straw Tote
Hey, we can’t dive into summer without a good straw tote! The best thing about these is that they’re effortlessly timeless. They’re also roomy enough for sunscreen, lip balm, a book, snacks, and whatever else you insist is necessary.
Gold Hoop Earrings
Gold hoops are reliable in the best possible way, and they need to make an appearance this summer. They work with just about anything in your summertime rotation, and even a medium or chunky pair adds warmth and shine near your face.
A Colorful Hair Scarf
A colorful hair scarf gives you plenty of styling options, which is particularly useful when heat and humidity ruin an otherwise perfect hair day. You can tie it around a ponytail, wear it as a headband, wrap it over your hair, or knot it onto your bag for extra color. You can also pick a pattern that matches your personality!
Comfortable Sandals
Statement sandals should look cute, but they also need to survive actual walking—and you’ll do plenty of that in the warmer months. A bright color, metallic finish, or fun strap detail can make even a basic outfit feel styled. When they’re comfortable enough for day plans that turn into evening plans, you’ve found an accessory worth splurging on.
