Syracuse’s snowy winter might be fresh on our minds, but we have to stop thinking leg warmers and start thinking sunglasses. With summer on the horizon, here are the top five accessories you’ll want in your wardrobe for this summer.
Chunky Rings
Goodbye thin metallic bands, hello statement pieces. Chunky rings are the way to go to bring together the colors of any outfit. Influencers like Emma Chamberlain are stacking multiple rings on each finger and even matching them to their nails. The design options are limitless; you might choose funky plastic rings or prefer making your own TikTok DIY rings. Either way, both are your best friends when it comes to accessorizing.

Claw Clips
An accessory so ordinary, you may be surprised it made the list. Claw clips are making their way to the forefront of fashion, particularly matte clips. This multipurpose accessory not only keeps hair out of your face while getting ready, but can also be used for casual, comfy looks or sleeker, more elegant looks. Recently, claw clips have been spotted on trendsetters such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Hailey Bieber.
Silk Scarves
Speaking of keeping hair out of your face, silk scarves are another accessory that gets the job done. Some people choose to tie them around their head like a bandana,while others tie them below their chin for a ’50s-esque look. Others incorporate scarves into their hair updos, whether it be a ponytail, bun, or even braid. Whichever style you prefer, these silk scarves will give a pop of color and life to your outfit.
Mini Handbag
Sure, big purses might be useful, but are they as cute as mini handbags? We don’t think so. You may only be able to fit your phone and wallet, but at least it fits the essentials! Match different colored bags to your outfit, or invest in one that goes with everything. Some of these bags might be on the pricier side, but more affordable alternatives are available at stores like Forever 21, Zara, and Shein.
Trendy Nail Art
Long gone are the days where people asked for a set of matte nude nails. Nowadays, people are opting for more unique designs, most notably abstract line art. As for color, really anything goes. Some choose trendy color palettes such as brown paired with sage green, while others pick a different neon for every nail. UGirl Style 9 UGirl 11
