This summer, it's the details that define style. Well-chosen accessories can transform even the simplest outfit into a refined and trendy look. Here are five fashionable accents that will add lightness, elegance, and a vacation vibe to your wardrobe.

Bandana

This accessory is back in fashion not only as a headwear item but also as a stylish detail for the neck, wrist, or even a bag. Choose light fabrics, bright colors, or ethnic prints and pair them with simple items, such as a white tank top, a shirt, or total denim.

Shell necklace

The sea is always with you, even in the city. A shell necklace (especially with uneven natural shapes) looks perfect with bare shoulders, linen suits, and maxi dresses. It's essential not to overload the look, as the shells are a statement in themselves.

Silk scarf as a belt

This trend comes straight from the runway and is easy to bring to life. Tie a bright scarf instead of a belt on shorts, jeans, or a light skirt, and your outfit instantly looks original and feminine. The best picks are scarves with floral or retro prints.

Woven leather bags

Raffia is a summer classic, but woven leather styles add a touch of sophistication. They work well for both beach looks and city wear. Neutral shades (cream, caramel, mocha) match any clothing palette.

Raffia hat

It's more than just sun protection. A raffia hat sets the whole mood of the outfit. Choose from wide-brimmed styles, soft bucket hats, or geometric shapes and wear them with both dresses and linen pantsuits.
