If you’re feeling a little overwhelmed at the prospect of getting out of the house in ‘normal’ clothes (RIP our well-loved loungewear, gone but never forgotten) then staying simple with your ‘fit but adding 10/10 accessories might be the place to start for cool but effortless-looking attire. Jeans and a nice top never did us wrong before the pandemic, and if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. Simpler looks offer the potential to add fun bags, jewellery, shoes and hats and can take a timeless outfit into 2021 trends in an instant. Great for the planet and our bank balance!
Hair accessories are having a real moment of late, adding a 90s twist to your look and a playful, flirty addition that can be tied in with your make-up too for the ultimate in cool-girl chic. If you’re seeking a refresh on the classic accessory front then look no further than your sunnies collection- because you best believe a burst of heat will be hitting us in May (manifesting) and no one wants to be unprepared for beer garden season and golden hour photo opportunities. Add a funky pair of shoes- whether you’re a trainer, sandals or heels kinda gal- and get ready to sashay into town for Mojitos on tap and al fresco dining at every opportunity. Spring has got us feeling fabulous!

I am really enjoying accessorising with hair clips and scrunchies at the moment, they require zero effort for styling but look really cute! Bucket hat season is also upon us and I am loving this off-white one from Nike. Can never go wrong with a pair of chunky black sandals too on those warmer Spring days (currently snowing as I type this but we move). I like to accessorise with fun jewellery too and these rings from Frasier Sterling have caught my eye with their fun designs.

I love a good summer accessory, there’s no feeling better than heading out with a beach bag (with a bottle of wine in) your fave sunnies and a spring in your step. I think white trainers go with pretty much everything and they’re a great gateway between winter boots and full-on sandals. I’m not picking up many 90s trends but I’m all for a crocodile clip coming back in fashion, they’re so much better than tying your hair up and don’t leave a kink if you wanna let it down later on!

I LIVE for an Extra accessory and the spring/summer season is my absolute favourite time of year for them! Crocs are a very marmite choice but I got some in the summer of 2020 and have honestly loved them ever since. TikTok seems to have given them a bit of a revival too and I’m very here for it- the little jibbitz are so CUTE. I’m also a big hat fan and this oversized bucket hat looks perfect for days on the beach or reading in the park. Finally, I love a novelty piece of jewellery and this spicy lil necklace from Mango is perfect for the heatwave I am currently manifesting.

I’ve only just realised the power of a hair accessory, to hide my shit hair and to make myself look more put together. I never normally accessorise so it’s rare that I’ll buy myself some new ones but these caught my eye. Brighton colours and flowers are the way forward for ultimate spring vibes.

Despite the fact I just know I’ll look like a toe in a wig, I’m in the market for a spring hat and this straw number is one distinguished gentleman. Just in case the hat does me dirty though (incredibly likely), I’ve got the best kind of backup accessory in the form of this Ajouter Store hair clip. I can’t wait for picnic weather to be here so I can swan about in a field somewhere with my basket bag, a french baguette and a bottle of wine without a care in the world. 100% wishful thinking when we had snow a few weeks back but I’m ok with being your friendly neighbourhood optimist.
