With summer making our skin radiate, and giving us a cheerful outlook to our day, it’s also come the time to leave behind our winter accessories and go shopping for the new trends for the season. A successful woman knows the importance of the accessories she wears to add to her overall look, and how details can even play a part in closing a business deal.
The accessories we picked below are very essential and simple to find (if you haven’t got them already), and will give you the perfect summer look of casualness and elegance, making you appear trendy and classic at the same time.
Straw hat
Straw hats have always been considered ‘beach material’, and with reason, as they protect you from the sun at its hottest, while keeping your head cool without weighing on your hair. Also, when you’re at the beach, the sun always seems to exert more power than during a walk in London.
But are we really sure? I wouldn’t say straw hats can only be worn at a seaside resort or nothing of the sort. Sun can be strong and UV dangerous for your skin while going to your business meeting in the City. With 35C outside you will get sunburned, and all the efforts to keep your skin protected will be wasted. Besides, who wants to put on solar cream on a working day?
That’s why we’re suggesting getting a nice floppy straw hat (just make sure you take it off once you’re indoors), like this one from Accessorize for just £17,50 – adorned with an oversized black bow at the back, that will give you quite the feminine touch. Getting it from Accessorize, H&M, Zara and such also represents an inexpensive investment, really risk free in case you realize it’s not your thing.
White watch
Go bold with a white watch this summer. It will stand out on your skin, and will give you the chance to show off your tan. Think white with dark brown, irresistible to all onlookers. Wear it with some other white accessory on you, like a scarf, a bag or white sandals for extra visibility, or keep wearing it all year round if it sticks with you. Lacoste has a few white watches in its collection, worth having a look at them with their classiness and elegance, but also simple and functional design. You can find them on here.
Floral scarf
It is undeniable that a silk or satin scarf adds elegance and sophistication to your persona, not to mention it’s a timeless classic. Also, no matter how hot it is, the fabric is going to keep you fresh, and will make you skin breathe free. Not to forget, a scarf will protect you from any neck or shoulder pains you might be proned to – many benefits in such a light and weightless accessory, aren’t there? For the summer we think that bright and vivid colours are a must-have, maybe a nice geometrical pattern or even a black and white from Chanel, but if you prefer pastel colours or delicate multicoulour patterns, definitely go for a floral scarf. How about checking out Liberty London website? They’ve got a few in their own make you’ll certainly adore, plus a few other top designer brands like Etro, Alexander McQueen, Valentino and Fendi.
