It’s no secret we love accessories. We know they can transform any summer outfit- taking a basic look (think white dress or black top and linen pants) to a chic and polished style. You can create many different looks just by changing out your footwear, jewelry, purses and belts in this season’s fashionable colors.

From rich cocoa brown and crisp white to vibrant turquoise, timeless gold and silver, and statement-making red, these are the colors defining summer style. In today’s blog post we are showcasing a roundup of accessories in each of these colors. Styled with denim, black, white and neutral pieces, they will instantly refresh your look.

Cocoa Brown Accessories- The New Neutral for Summer

Cocoa Brown is a great new neutral color. It pairs well with white, black, denim, ivory, khaki and soft pastel. Gold accessories and stone accessories stylishly pair with this color too.

Must Have Cocoa Brown Accessories

Sandals like these below add a bit of cocoa brown. Bev has this pair and they go with denim, white wide leg and slim leg jeans and midi dresses and skirts. The padding on the footbed and the structured block heel create a very comfortable sandal. We are also featuring this purse from Target. We love the versatility of the design- it’s a clutch and a crossbody. Also, check out the leopard print tote by Case Mate. Perfect for travel and everyday use.

White Accessories For a Fresh Summer Look

White accessories instantly brighten your wardrobe and create a polished summer aesthetic. Pair with any blue or black denim. Navy and solid colors also look great with white accessories.

Essential White Accessories

A good white sneaker is definitely an essential accessory for summer- really year round. We want to give an honorable mention to the Vionic Winny Sneaker. Both of us have this sneaker- in addition it’s great style- it’s also very comfortable right out of the box. Other essentials are a good white belt and a good white purse.

Turquoise Accessories- The Color That Feels Like Summer Vacation

Turquoise continues to be a summer favorite accent because of it’s beach-inspired feel. It looks so good next to white, cocoa brown, black and ivory.

Turquoise Accessories To Add This Season

Necklaces and bracelets add interest to any outfit. The trend in necklaces this summer is a strand of beads. Val has this necklace and bracelet set from Ettika and it is a compliment magnet. For those who have a very small wrist, this bracelet works because it is elastic. We are showcasing the Ettika Y necklace and the Kenneth Jay Lane multi- strand as well.

Red Accessories For That Pop of Color

Red is that pop of color that every wardrobe needs. A touch of red creates energy and visual interest to any outfit.

Best Red Accessories for Summer

You will be surprised how adding this pop of color will brighten your outfit. Seriously, we tried this by wearing a red sweater for photos and it just brightened our skin tone. If that’s too much, try a piece of jewelry or a purse. With July 4th approaching, a quick outfit of a white blouse, blue denim and a touch of red, gives a subtle festive look. Below are some of our favorite pieces of jewelry for that pop of red.
