We are officially in summer here in the UK, even though the weather doesn’t seem to be cooperating these days. This new season is all about bold prints, designs, and bright colours, which are great for fashion accessories. I like to grab a few stylish accessories every season, and summer is one of my favourite seasons when shopping for fashion accessories because there is more room to experiment in a way.

Also, the prints, colourful bags, scarves, cool sunglasses, and sunshine always have a way of getting me in the summer mood. If you are interested in updating your wardrobe with some stylish accessories this season, keep reading for some trendy ideas.

3 Top Fashion Accessories for Summer

Here are some stylish summery fashion accessories I currently have my eye on –

Silk scarves

When I think of stylish accessories, scarves are usually one of the first on my mind. I am a huge fan of silk scarves and always want to add more of them to my wardrobe. Scarves are a trusted summer accessory and have a way of finishing off a look nicely. The more detailed the scarf is, the more pretty it usually is. I like to have silk scarves in different prints, colours, and designs, to match different looks. Are you a fan of silk scarves?

Bags

Quality handbags are a great wardrobe investment. The more you spend on a handbag, the longer you have it around usually, so I like to splurge a little bit more on this fashion accessory. Investment bags are required all year round, and some of my favourite designers for handbags are Gucci, Stella McCartney, Michael Kors, Guess, and the like. Which is your favorite designer for bags?

Sunglasses

Another great fashion accessory to splurge on for summer is sunglasses. I like to have a few pairs around ready for sunny days. They always come in handy and there are usually loads of options to pick from. I love Miu Miu, Prada, and Swarovski for sunglasses. Their designs are usually right up my street! Are you into sunglasses too?

Tips for developing a personal style

June 17, 2024 By in Fashion, Style Tags: , , , , , 1 Comment

When it comes to developing a personal style, it’s important to focus on what works for you. It can take some time to develop a signature look, but with plenty of practice, and the right colours, pieces, and accessories, it is achievable. Here are some tips for developing a personal style:

Know your colours

We have colours that suit us better than others. If you don’t know your colours, the best way to find them is to try out pieces in different shades and see the colours that suit your natural colouring best. Your favourite colours may not be “your colours”, so play around with various colours to discover the best shades for your natural colouring.

Know your body shape

I have written extensively about knowing your body shape on Fashion and Style Police. You can catch up on some of the posts here and here. Knowing your body shape and what suits your shape best would help you stick to the right pieces that showcase your body in the right way.

Invest in quality items

Once you know your colours and body shape, the next step is to invest in timeless, quality items to create a capsule wardrobe. I always choose quality over quantity, so investing in quality classic items is a must because they are forever stylish and hang around for longer. A great place to start when it comes to investing in quality items is in the bag and shoes department, and then as the need arises and the bank balance allows, you can splurge on other areas.

Be unique and stay comfortable

A personal style should be unique and comfortable. There’s no point in developing a signature look that resembles that of your friend or favourite celebrity. For it to work and stand the test of time, your style needs to be all you. So take your time and discover what that entails to create your look.

Get inspired

I know I just said we should be unique and all, but sometimes, we may struggle to discover what our likes and dislikes are when it comes to fashion and style. So it’s okay to get inspiration from other outlets like fashion magazines, style blogs, and social media. As long as it is just inspiration, that’s fine! I get styling ideas from various sources, and these ideas inspire me to create my look.

It has been raining cats and dogs this week in Cheshire, and all the rain has got me thinking more about investing in some quality light coats for spring. The rainy season can get really messy, so getting some more outerwear for the weather is a must for many of us. If you are feeling the same way and looking to get some stylish coats for the wet season, here are some fashionable ideas for you –

Longline Shower Resistant Raincoat by Next

I can see myself grabbing one of these this season. It also comes in grey but I prefer this colour. It is currently priced at £62. What do you think of this coat by Next?
Padstow Mushroom Brown Waterproof Raincoat With Hood by Joules

This is another beautiful coat for spring. Joules is a brand I have not really explored and I really don’t know why. I plan to grab a few pieces from Joules this spring/summer season to see what the brand is like. This stylish coat is high on my wish-list this season. It comes in a beautiful mushroom shade, and you can also get one in a navy blue shade. This gorgeous coat is currently priced at £89.95. Are you a fan?

Plain Collared Button Through Coat by Bonmarché

I am really feeling this nude shade this season. It seems many of the light coats for spring are available in the brown/tan shade and they look amazing. This stylish coat from Bonmarché is no exception. I love the relaxed fit and the beautiful colour. It also comes in a navy blue shade which is great. The model is wearing this coat so well, the light price tag of £35 makes this coat even more attractive. What are your thoughts on this beauty?

Off White Lightweight Belted Duster Coat by New Look
