Summer getaway essentials: stylish accessories to pack light and smart

Hey there!  Planning a summer getaway and trying to avoid overpacking? Here are some must-have accessories to bring with you that won’t take up too much room, and will still add the perfect touch of style to your vacay wardrobe.

CHUNKY JEWELRY

If you’re looking to add a bold and eye-catching element to your outfit, chunky jewelry is where it starts! These statement pieces, with their substantial size and weight, have gained serious popularity for their ability to instantly elevate any look, whether you’re keeping it casual or going all-out glam. Chunky necklaces, bracelets, and earrings adorned with oversized beads, thick chains, or large pendants. Chunky jewelry can totally steal the show and serve as the focal point of your outfit. Forget about choosing between gold or silver for your jewelry sets. It’s time to blur the lines and create your own unique style. Mixing gold and silver has become seriously trendy, giving your look a fresh and unexpected twist.

ROSETTE DETAILS

While the tradition of wearing flowers in hair and outfits has been a part of various cultures and fashion styles for decades, it is an ongoing trend that continues to evolve. As we anticipate 2024, rosette elements in fashion will persist as a popular choice. They will continue to be worn in diverse forms such as bracelets, necklaces, and hair accessories. Personally, I like a rosette choker. I find it perfect for a night-out and it adds elegance to my outfits

RIBBONS

Guess what? I totally understand your frustration if you have 4C hair or a hairstyle like mine. It can be really annoying when most hair accessories just don’t work with our gorgeous hair. However, ribbons are not one of those! They can be used with all types of hair, including ours. These versatile gems have the power to take your look from casual to cute in a matter of seconds. Ribbons are currently the ultimate hair accessory on the scene. With their playful vibes, fabulous materials and colors, and potential for “Do It Yourself” projects, ribbons are a must-have for achieving that effortlessly stylish and totally attainable look.

BIG BELTS

This year, everything is focused on making a statement when it comes to accessories; the bigger, the trendier. This also applies to large belts. They were highly popular in the 90’s and are now making a comeback in 2024. They are known as statement belts and are used as a key element in outfits. I understand that a belt may not be the smallest item to pack in your suitcase. However, the advantage is that a belt can enhance more than one style. It becomes a very versatile accessory.

RED SPLASHES

This year, red is definitely the color to be seen in. Adding a pop of red accessory to your outfit is a perfect way to stay “on-trend”. Whether it’s a red handbag, a red scarf, or a pair of red shoes, it’s a bold and statement-making choice that’s sure to turn heads.
