Sunglasses
No summer would be complete without a pair of sunglasses, and bigger is better this season. Solid or metal frames, coloured or not, these options don't matter as much as the size — we're talking b-i-g. But make sure your sunglasses complement your features. If you have a round face, choose round sunglasses; square frames are the go-to shade size for more angular face shapes.
Shoes
The word is wedge this summer. Heel heights on wedges can reach up to three to four inches, so if that's not your style, try a flat — another popular shoe style this summer. And forget about stuffing your feet into pointy-toed footwear. Round toes have been slowly making a comeback, and now they've finally hit the big time. Try a rounded, peep-toe wedge for the ultimate summer accessory.
White
It is the colour this season. Here are some popular accessory ideas that work great in white.
| Jewelry. Try accessorizing with big, chunky white bracelets, necklaces or rings. Think 1960s mod (not 1980s punk) when choosing your charms. | |
| Straw hat. A large white straw hat will serve several purposes: helping you look good while shading and protecting your face from the sun's damaging rays. | |
| Scarves. Wear these summer scarves around your neck for a breezy summer look, or tie one around your head (similar to a headband) to keep hair out of your face. Quick tip: If you frequently dig through your purse trying to find your keys, tie a white silk scarf around your keychain. The scarf will double as a chic fashion accessory and lost-key finder! | |
Everyone's favourite accessory has no rules this season — unless, of course, you want to make it white. From bucket bags to structured, military-inspired totes, anything goes. Our advice? Pick a bag or two that suits your style best and make it work.
Your Skin
One of the best accessories you can have this summer is flawless skin. If you weren't born with flawless skin (and how many people were?), choose to use CoverGirl® TruBlend Liquid Foundation and Pressed Powder. TruBlend Liquid Foundation gives you first-try coverage that looks natural. It works with your skin tone to cover imperfections and match your skin's pigments. Pair your Liquid Foundation with TruBlend Pressed Powder, which uses advanced powder technology to match 97 percent of skin tones, for a truly natural, flawless finish.
With so many great ideas for styling summer accessories, you're sure to find something that fits your fashion sense. And you never know; you might even find something hiding in your closet you can bring back to life to update your look for the season.
