I know I’m jumping the gun with this post as spring is just slowly approaching, but while we still have a ways to go before summer, it’s never too early to start curating a summer wardrobe. Today I’m sharing a few easy summer accessories that you can get ready now for styling all summer long.
Every once in a while I like to skim through my iPhone’s photo reel for shots from previous seasons. As a result I end up finding lots of style inspiration, some of which I decide to recreate while others I leave behind. This roundup includes some of my personal favorites that are easy to put together. Even though we still have snow in our yard I’m already itching to hit the shore. And when I think of the shore I think of these must-have wardrobe items that can take you places.
TOTES
Totes are a summer item I always carry along. I love that I can tuck some of my essential items and still have room for other non-essentials.
I like to have a bottle of water, a packable hat, my phone charger, extra pair of sandals and yes, even an umbrella for those last minute sun showers. The J.Crew Montauk summer tote is currently in my checkout basket!
HATS
Hats are of course self explanatory. With the myriad of styles available to suit everyone, this is one item that serves two great purposes, that of style and protection. And a packable straw hat is the ultimate in convenience. The boater hat is my favorite.
BOAT SHOES
Not just for boating! Boat shoes have become the summer shoe you don’t want to be without. They literally look great with just about ANYTHING you put on! Dresses, skirts, pants, shorts, you can’t go wrong with these.
There is an amazing variety of colors and styles to choose from to suit your personal style. They also happen to be the number one preppy summer shoe of New Englanders! These are a fun summer option with the classic Madras detail.
SANDALS
Sandals are as obvious as a warm summer breeze. I gravitate towards flats or moderate block heels since they tend to be easier on the foot especially for longer walks. I just ordered this pair from Tuckernuck and can not wait to get them! The gold studded detailing and a block heel will be my go-to shoe this year. From desk to drinks, these are effortlessly chic and comfortable.
