Accessorizing is all about giving your existing wardrobe a fresh new feel. Summer is the perfect time to add playful touches to your go-to outfits—think cotton dresses, breezy trousers, and flowy blouses. Whether you’re traveling or not, the season brings a lively, expressive mood that’s easily captured with just the right bag, shoes, or quirky accent.
This summer’s standout accessories embrace a carefree yet joyful spirit. Even classic warm-weather staples feel exciting again—like Miu Miu’s chic canvas totes, Loewe x Paula’s Ibiza’s colorful espadrilles, or Khaite’s raffia bags with a sleek urban twist. Summer flies by, so why not have fun with it?
### Market Totes
Fashion loves turning everyday items into must-haves, and this season’s market totes are no exception. The Row’s striped mesh tote and Chan Luu’s sequin-trimmed version feel like vacation souvenirs, making errands or beach trips a little more stylish.
### Espadrilles with a Twist
Swap the classic tan espadrille for something bolder. Loewe and Paula’s Ibiza offer vibrant takes on the Spanish staple, like hot pink flats with colorful soles. Prada’s cherry-red Mary Janes, J.Crew’s mesh version, and Valentino’s printed mules are just as playful.
### Elevated Raffia
Raffia bags get a city-friendly upgrade this year, with sleek leather details that take them beyond the beach. Designers are reinventing the trend with polished shapes that work long after summer ends.
### Playful Jewelry
No summer outfit is complete without jewelry. Go for whimsical touches—fish pendants, seashells, or beaded strands—to add a seasonal flair.
### Oversized Carryalls
From day trips to weekend getaways, roomy totes from Hereu, Kallmeyer, L.L.Bean, and Bode make travel (and packing) a breeze.
### Jelly Sandals
After The Row’s jelly flats sold out last year, the trend continues with transparent thong sandals in ocean-inspired shades from Chloé, Christopher Esber, and more—perfect for vacation mode.
