Accessories That Makes Summer Outfits Pop

my go-to pieces for sunshine styling

As summer unfolds and travel plans slowly turn into packed suitcases, I’m more excited than ever to embrace that effortless sunshine style. I’m planning to spend quite a bit of time by the sea in the coming weeks – and if there’s one thing I know, it’s that accessories can completely elevate even the simplest summer look. Whether it’s a linen dress or a bikini and oversized shirt, the right accessories always make it feel a little more me.

So here are the pieces I’ve been reaching for on repeat this season – from jewellery I never take off to the ballet flats I’m utterly obsessed with.

Ballet Flats – My Summer Shoe Obsession

Let’s start with the shoes. Ballet flats are definitely the shoe of the summer – effortlessly elegant and perfect for warm-weather styling. But I’ve fallen head over heels for my Alaïa mesh ballet flats. They’re the kind of shoe that works with everything – from denim shorts to floaty dresses – and they add this slightly unexpected touch that I love. Comfortable, chic, and just different enough to make an outfit feel special. They’ve truly become the shoe of the season for me.

Jewellery – The Final (and Favourite) Touch

If you’ve followed me for a while, you know how much I adore jewellery – it’s often the last thing I put on, but it’s always what ties everything together. I’ve been a fan of Idyl long before our earring collaboration, and I still can’t get enough of their quality and understated luxury. Their modular designs are just so clever and versatile.
Another brand I keep coming back to is Missoma — their gold pieces are perfect for layering, and I love how they instantly give that polished touch, even on lazy beach days.

Sunglasses – My Forever Weakness

Sunglasses are my guilty pleasure… though I don’t feel guilty at all. I truly believe they can transform a look in seconds. I have so many pairs and honestly, each one tells a different story. My current favourites are from Khaite, Cartier, Saint Laurent, and Prada – a little mix of bold and timeless. For more affordable options, I also love COS – they have such sleek, minimal styles that look far more expensive than they are. Even when I’m barefaced and in a swimsuit, a good pair of sunnies makes me feel put-together.

Bags – Summer Colours I’m Loving

This summer, I’ve been really drawn to colour when it comes to bags. Think butter yellow, pastel pink, fresh green – all those happy hues that make your outfit pop without trying too hard. I still love my neutrals, of course, but smaller, playful bags just feel right for sunny days. They’re practical, light, and add so much personality.

Hats – Beach Days Essential

I wear hats mostly when I’m by the beach, and they’re truly non-negotiable for me on holiday. A good hat protects your skin, keeps you cool, and let’s be honest – it completes the vibe. I’ve been reaching for my favourites from Loewe and Miu Miu. They strike that perfect balance between casual and chic, and they photograph so well (always a bonus, right?).

This summer feels like the perfect excuse to indulge in little things that make you feel good – even if it’s just dressing up for a sunset walk or a long lunch with friends. Accessories have this magic ability to make even the simplest outfit feel special. And I plan to enjoy every second of it – from the beach to the city and everywhere in between.
