After a year spent at home in sweatpants, there’s no denying that we’re going to take full advantage of summer 2021. Traveling, spending time with friends and family, and overdressing for every occasion are finally on the horizon. However, what we’re most excited about are this season’s accessory trends. From bold colors and animal print to statement jewellery and everything in between, this summer is all about standing out.

Are you ready to rock the hottest handbags and jewellery? Keep reading below for our top five summer 2021 accessory trends.

All Gold Everything

Nothing says summer like golden sunshine…and golden accessories! This season, replace your chrome with gold jewellery. Layer up your necklaces, bracelets, and rings for a totally bling-worthy look. Start with the Cowrie Shell Bracelet (£45) from Yala Jewellery in Kenya. The three-in-one piece features a charming shell pendant that makes for the perfect dainty accessory to add to your collection of gold.

Turbans & Headbands

Hair accessories like turbans are a simple yet effective way to add gorgeous flair to any ensemble. So we’re excited to see them trending this upcoming summer! Whether you go for a solid pop of color or a patterned print, such as the Velma’s Millinery & Accessories Twisted Turban (£74), you truly can’t go wrong.

Bold & Bright

There is no time like now to break out the beautifully bold colors in your closet. Summer 2021 is embracing all things neon and vibrant, accessories included. Don’t have anything but neutrals in your wardrobe? Brighten up your outfits of the season with the Marte Egele Ese Clutch in Lilac (£75). It effortlessly embodies the fun that the summer season brings.

Statement Earrings

Want to add dimension to your look without going over the top? Throw on some statement earrings. We recommend the Tougana Disc Tassel Earrings (£32) from Hamimi. The stunning fringe design is subtle enough not to overpower the rest of your outfit but bold enough to make heads turn. Plus, they’re versatile enough to go with any summer dress!

Animal Print Accessories

Animal print is in. Whether you throw a cheetah print scrunchie in your hair or put on some snakeskin boots, the animal-inspired trend is going to be seen everywhere this season. We especially love this Marte Egele Ese Mini Top Handle (£172). Carefully hand-stitched using select and limited leather, this piece is just as functional as it is chic.
