I'm Ditching My Classic Accessories for These Shockingly Cool and Fun New Finds
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.
Tell me these didn't take your breath away.
Choosing just one Chloé bag nearly took me out.
Does it get cooler or more fun than this?
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
