Accessorize This Summer

By Persa Sanjana Hussain

It’s easy to keep your accessorizing game at an impeccable level during winter. Because, let’s be honest, with so much layering going on there is a plethora of options to crack the right look. But the season to deck in with your heart’s content is long gone. With summer rolling in, we are left with more worries than just how to dress with comfort. In the days of scorching heat, the challenge is to keep up a brave face as a fashion aficionado who remain stylish throughout. So this summer you can cut down on your worries about how to go about rearranging your wardrobe in tandem with the rising level of mercury, since our expert is here to clue you in on some dressing hacks.
The code of dressing in summer might become tied down to a super-comfortable basic T-shirt and your everyday jeans. This minimalist pairing can make you feel like you’re missing something — aka that you need something extra, a sartorial boost of sorts, to take it to the next level. For times like these our go-to advice for you is to ACCESSORIZE. It’s not only the easiest way to take your summer look up a notch but also in a fun way to be yourself through your cannily thought out get-up.
Add a pendant necklace to your monotone top or dress and steal the show or use a vest to pull things together. You could even opt for a light summer shrug to bring to your casual look a little bohemian vibe. At parties, wear a body chains as they are sure to effortlessly amp up your outfit when you are not in the mood for dressing up.
On days when you are feeling adventurous, sport a colorful bandana or just wear it around your neck as a statement. On days when you are feeling lazy, a beaded layered necklace should do the trick — just pick a color that pops, and you are good to go!
Your bag and shoes are the two most important addition about your accessorizing game but do remember to prioritize comfort and functionality this season. Nothing compares to the confidence you exude when you’re comfortable. Choose a crossbody bag and make it an essential part of your outfit.
Add colorful key rings/badges or tags to your bag to keep the fun theme floated. As for shoes, pick your favorite sneakers — plain black or white ones are always a safe bet with almost any outfit. In fact you can even experiment with bold colors or prints when you are wearing a monotone T-shirt. Other than that, stock up on two-strap sandals or heels and keep an eye out for fringes and frills to keep it summery.
Get a nice pedicure, ditch the uncomfortable closed heels and opt for strappy and colorful shoes this summer!
Give things a little more oomph with a belt. Even an ordinary brown belt can go a long way in terms of jazzing up your outfit. Layer your minimal necklaces and when you don’t feel like wearing a neck piece stack up a combination of your bracelets on one hand to balance it out. Wear small earrings to add a little sparkle. Summer also gives you the chance to wear the baseball cap you had been dying to wear, so grab that chance and kill it.
Nothing says summer like colorful mirror sunglasses. They are available everywhere so grab yourself a pair and embrace summer in entirety. In times of need, when you are facing a creative block just resort to instagram where your favorite fashion bloggers throw in some inspiration on the daily. But more importantly remember that there is no thumb rule to look good — try whatever works for you and pair that with your priceless smile to rock away the summer!
