The Summer Sunnies, Sandals, and Accessories Style Guide

We know we say we love every season of year, but let’s be honest: summer is kind of the best {especially here in Southern California}. Endless sunny days, perfectly ripe summer fruits, beaches for miles, beautiful sunsets, the list goes on… Out of the many reasons why California summers are the best, we’d have to say the fashion during these few months of the year is the epitome of California casual chic. Whimsical, bright, bold, and fun, we love all of the trends and pieces for this season, and today, we’ve got a style guide showcasing the best accessory trends this summer has to offer. Let’s stop talking and let’s get to shopping, shall we? Keep reading for our Summer Style Guide below…

Sandals

Platforms

We’re sure you’ve seen this all over your feeds, but yes, platform sandals are very, very in, and these varieties take the cake.

Reformation Mia Platform Sandal, $248

Loeffler Randall Posey Gingham Pleated Flatform Espadrille, $295

LC Lauren Conrad Rosemary 02 Slingback Sandals, $60

LC Lauren Conrad Cactus Flower Wedge Sandals, $60

Elevated Flip Flops

A simple rubber flip flop won’t do, which is why something elevated—with a little more ‘je ne sais quoi’ is an easy outfit booster.

FRAME Le Montauk Sandal, from $46

LC Lauren Conrad Pumice Thong Sandals, $15

DÔEN Terre Sandal, $158

Reformation Loveleen Thong Sandal, $98

UO Puffy Thong Sandal, $39

Dear Frances Wrap Sandal, $390

Sleek Flat Styles

A sleek flat paired with a gorgeous sundress is really all you need. We love a bow on top to add an extra oomph to your look too.

Loeffler Randall Hadley Ballet Bow Sandal, $250

Loeffler Randall Daphne Blue Bow Slide, $250

Reformation Maggie Flat Sandal, $128

LC Lauren Conrad Knotted Slide Sandals, $17

Nisolo Isla Slide, $90

TKEEs Gemma Sandal, $55

Sunnies

Structural Shapes

Boxy, structural shapes are in, especially ones with a longer, leaner lens. It’s a touch of ‘90s, updated for today.

Crap Eyewear Heavy Tropix Sunglasses, $95

Akila Ares Glasses, $140

Quay Australia Yada Yada Sunglasses, $60

LC Lauren Conrad Carlita Oversized Square Sunglasses, $30

Round Glasses

We love a round style, so we’re happy to see this trend popping up again this season. Pair round sunglasses with neutral tones to keep it relaxed up top.

Prive Riveaux The Maestro Sun X, $40

Crap Eyewear The Shake Appeal, $95

LC Lauren Conrad Anette 57mm Round Metal Sunglasses, $30

Jewelry

Playful Earrings

Summer is the time to be playful. Try a bold earring you wouldn’t normally wear. It’s a great way to step out of your comfort zone if you can’t commit to a bold clothing piece.

Dauphinette Fig Slice, $42

Abcrete & Co. Matisse Drop Earrings, $42

Ana Luisa Hana Sunset, $38

LC Lauren Conrad Pink & Gold Tone Palm Leaf Drop Earrings, $13

LC Lauren Conrad Enamel Cactus Drop Earrings, $18

Thick Chains

Thick, chunky chains are the move this season, and while we’ve seen iterations of these in past seasons, we’re particularly drawn to acetate styles that really are standouts.

Maison Irem Colorful Necklace, $125

Ettika Bold and Chunky Chain Link Necklace, $85

Tuckernuck Cream Catena Necklace, $138

Purses

Straw Bags

Straw bags are always in and always good for summer, so why not stick with a classic that will look good for many summers to come?

The Little Market Round Palm Bag, $64

florabella Coachello Bag, $194

LC Lauren Conrad Straw Flap Crossbody Bag, $49

The Little Market Rattan Lidded Crossbody, $108

LC Lauren Conrad Straw Bucket Bag, $49

Bright Colors

Yes! Now’s the time to wear a bright and bold color, so why not try a purse that will certainly make your outfit pop? It particularly stands out when you have small bag too.
