Before moving from the UK to India, I admittedly never wore much white clothing, but now that I’m here sweating (and enjoying) the Bangalore summer heat, a classic white dress is my regular ‘go-to’ and I’m always on the prowl looking for fancy and on-trend accessories that will give my white (or black) summer dress that extra bit of style appeal.
Here is a round up of 5 current favourite accessories I have my eye on:
1. ELEGANT NECKLINES
THE ORCHID NECKLACE BY THE MAUVE UNIT
Gold accessories are a great way to lift your look and to easily transition from day to night. This orchid inspired necklace is an elegant celebration of feminism – who wouldn’t want to wear this and feel special in their favourite summer dress?
2. STATEMENT SANDALS
BIG TIME SANDALS FROM STEVE MADDEN
Flatform and Thong style sandals are big trend for summer 2022 – so let this two in one style be the perfect edition to your summer footwear collection. Also available in bright red, this ‘Shock Yellow’ pair will certainly give your summer wardrobe a statement to be proud of.
3. EARTHY EARRINGS
REED EARRINGS FROM NICOBAR
Adding earthy, natural and contemporary accessories is a win for any summer look and I’m just loving this offering from Nicobar – perfect for sprucing up everyday summer dresses or when I want to look a little bit more special on a dreamy beach vacation.
4: CUTE ARM CANDY
IVORY HANDCRAFTED BOHO MIRROR AND SHELLS SLING BAG BY PRAVO
Summer is a time when colour (lots of colour), mirror, shells and tassels come together harmoniously and we don’t feel silly about it – Whether you wear it as a clutch or over the shoulder as a sling this colourful accessory will surely be the talking point.
5: COOL SUN HAT
UV PROTECTION WIDE BRIM HAT BY UNIQLO
It’s no secret that good sun protection is a must so as I slather on my factor 50+ I am also hitting the order button for one of these. I love the fact it’s wide brimmed and the added detail of the peekaboo
gingham gives this design a fun twist to liven up any simple summer dress.
