If you know me or have gotten a sense for what my style is like in the 10-plus years I’ve been writing for Who What Wear, then you probably know that “shockingly cool and fun” doesn’t typically describe my purchases. I tend to keep it pretty simple and classic. However, I will always make an exception for an exceptional piece, and this season’s crop of accessories is full of such items. From bags and belts to shoes, jewelry, and more, there are so many statement accessories I’m loving right now I had to spend hours narrowing it down to a mere 32 for you. After it all, I can confidently say that this is the summer of going big or going home, so you can consider putting your basic essentials on the back burner for a little bit. Ready to see and shop what made my list of favorites? Simply keep scrolling.
