Handbags
Ralph Lauren Nappa Leather Small Emmy Bucket Bag, $275 ($100)
ICYMI, Ralph Lauren makes some of the trendiest and high-quality fashion accessories, and most are *surprisingly* cost-friendly.
This Emmy Bucket Bag, for instance, comes in a fabulous range of colors – black, brown, grey, and dark blue, too, but why not go with a fun hue (like this stunning sporty pink option)?
It also has a spacious silhouette for a practical and effortlessly chic style.
Jason Wu Cat Puffy Quilted Leather Small Crossbody, $190 ($113)
Street style can’t get enough of this cute Jason Wu Crossbody bag.
Whether you go for fire orange, cloud white, cognac, or black, this quilted leather bag is more about styling than storage – plus, it pops against a stunning summer dress or an oversized blazer.
Still, the cat puffy piece can fit your lippie, mini-SPF, keys, other accessories, and credit cards.
I.N.C. International Concepts Quinn Straw Tote, $100 ($40)
The shape and details of this straw tote will make it one of your go-to summer bags (and doesn’t it just capture the essence of the coastal, hippie grandmother look? No? Just us. No worries).
Either way, find us strutting down the coastline with this cutie!
Kate Spade Flower Jacquard Stripe Everything Large Tote, $400 ($238)
Ok, okay, it’s still not cheap.
But imagine how you’ll feel walking down the streets rocking your favorite pantsuit and coolest accessories (shoes, rings, and earrings) while clutching onto this hot number from Kate Spade.
You’ll have the paparazzi and TikTok girlies mistaking you for a celebrity.
Hats
I.N.C. International Concepts Striped Floppy Hat, $49 ($29)
If your idea of a perfect summer is channeling Hallmark movies (frolicking down the beachside in a maxi dress and stunning accessories while holding onto your wide-brimmed floppy hat), we have some good news for you.
This striped piece from I.N.C. is straight out of a romance novel.
Marcus Adler Women’s Straw Hat with Glass Beaded Trim, $50 ($33)
There’s nothing more très chic than a straw hat with a statement-making glass beaded trim.
Plus, it comes with an adjustable head sizer for ample sun protection and to prevent it from falling off, even on the windiest picnic dates.
Giani Bernini Women’s Panama Crown Face Framer Straw Hat, $49 ($36)
More than an accessory to block out the U.V. rays, this face framer straw hat functions as a stylish piece fit for upscale summer hangouts.
And while the eggshell or vanilla color (don’t @ us, color is relative) will definitely show dirt faster, we can only imagine how stunning it’ll look throughout your girlfriends’ trip, especially when paired with a monochrome short suit and gold-plated accessories or garden-party dress paired with a pretty necklace and some fab sandals.
Sunglasses
Ralph Lauren Ralph Sunglasses RA5150, $95 ($47)
Any accessories list isn’t complete with a cool pair of sunglasses.

Sunglass Hut Collection Polarized Sunglasses HU1001 59, $120 ($95)
At under $50, you’ll get some classic sunglasses that spruce up your fits, frames that flatter your features, and polarized lenses that block off the harsh glare.
Pair them with your favorite swimwear this summer, and you’ll surely get heads turning.
Scarfs
Calvin Klein Elegant Satin-Trim Chiffon Evening Wrap, $48 ($29)
When you don’t want to lug around a heavy jacket or blazer, wrap this fine-spun Calvin Kelin chiffon scarf and head out for a romantic solo date night.
Giani Bernini Women’s Signature Logo Silk Square Scarf, $39 ($25)
Call us obsessed, but the summery hue of this silky scarf is just too cute to pass up. Wear it as an evening wrap, on your handbag, or even on your hair to add that cool yet classic touch to your fit.
