The Essential New-Season Accessories For Your Next Vacation
Natural textures, timeless shapes and colorful prints are key to this season’s summer styling, especially when it comes to accessories. Here’s how to ensure your vacation wardrobe is perfectly on point. By COLLEEN ROSS
Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a summer essential, whether the sun is shining or not – not to mention the key to infinitely chic outfits. As far as trends go, skinny frames that hint at retro styles but with a modern twist are in and loved by the street-style set – Laura Harrier, Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber are rarely spotted without a pair. Finish a polished linen coord with Loewe Eyewear’s barely-there square-frame sunglasses, complementing their pretty rose-tinted lenses with a matching lip, or slip Bottega Veneta’s cat-eye shades in glossy tortoiseshell acetate on with a classic LBD.

Bucket hats
Forget oversized, floppy hats or fedoras, it’s all about bucket hats this season. Whether you’re heading to the beach or a music festival, seek out close-fitting raffia buckets with a brim just wide enough to shield your face from the sun – such as Eugenia Kim’s ‘Bailey’ style in crocheted beige or Etro’s version patterned with eye-catching orange and blue stripes.

Raffia bags
Raffia bags epitomize timeless style and instantly evoke bucolic summer escapes. Inspired by the glamour of the French Riviera, Lié Studio’s ‘Bianca’ tote – a NET-A-PORTER exclusive – is patterned with monochrome stripes and has adjustable leather straps. The roomy interior makes it the ideal choice for the beach, as well as your flight home. Elsewhere, Saint Laurent’s ‘Le 5 à 7' is a chic alternative for city breaks.

Playful jewelry
Whether strung with shells, pearls, semi-precious gems or beads, jewelry in eye-catching colors and shapes is a fun way to make a statement for a carefree vacation look. From our NET SUSTAIN edit and responsibly crafted by hand in Brooklyn, Jennifer Behr’s aptly named ‘Riviera’ earrings – tiered with emerald-cut yellow crystals, brilliant turquoise and natural scallop shells – will look gorgeous paired with a crisp, white shirt dress and dewy makeup.

Braided belts
Sometimes, a belt is the only finishing touch your outfit needs – not only transforming the silhouette but the overall mood, too. Since we tend to veer more towards lighter shades and fabrics in summer, choose a brown belt over black and opt for braided finishes to keep things relaxed – Anderson’s and Déhanche’s styles are both skillfully crafted using lower-impact materials and form part of our NET SUSTAIN edit.

Summer shoes
Shoes are the perfect way to embrace the season’s affinity for artisanal textures – think summery raffias and crochets – and will add a sense of ease to warm-weather outfits. St. Agni’s woven leather sandals are another highlight from our NET SUSTAIN edit and will look as chic worn with a breezy coverup on vacation as they will with relaxed tailoring to the office. Kashura’s ballet flats, meanwhile, have been crocheted entirely by hand in India and are destined for far-flung escapes.

Silk scarves
Silk scarves have been a vacation essential for decades, whether worn as bandanas, shawls or tied to the handle of a tote – yet tastemakers are still finding new (and unexpected) ways to incorporate them into their look. Alexa Chung recently accessorized a simple T-shirt and jeans with a Gucci scarf tied nonchalantly around her waist, while others have taken to styling them as tops on vacation for the ultimate Y2K throwback. Keen to give it a try? Isabel Marant’s paisley-print ‘Sirina’ scarf (a NET-A-PORTER exclusive) will look as chic wrapped around your hair as it will knotted over a maxi skirt.
