If you ask me, there's no better time for a wardrobe glow-up than in the summer. When the weather gets warmer, there's a certain feeling in the air that anything is possible and that's especially true when it comes to what to wear. You might just find yourself inspired to experiment with a new shoe trend, a bright new color, or a new way to accessorize with more motivation than at any other time of the year.
So while you reach for your go-to summer dress and style your denim shorts and similar warm-weather staples on repeat, I'd like to bring your attention to a handful of trendy accessories that will complete all your outfits. Tapping into the latest arrivals from our Who What Wear collection, I'm highlighting 18 under-$100 shoes and bags that hit on some of the season's most-wanted trends.
From '90s-inspired shoulder bags to fancy flip-flops and go-with-anything strappy sandals, continue on to see them all for yourself and get a little outfit inspiration along the way.
I'm in love with this color.
Fact: You can never have too many croc-effect accessories in your life.
Because fancy flip-flops are trending hard this summer.
The easiest way to add a cool '90s feel to your outfits.
You'll want to wear these easy slides with everything.
Just like your favorite ballet flats but even better.
The interwoven leather makes this look way pricier than $75.
The ankle straps really make these something special.
Finally, a pair of heels you'll actually want to wear for hours at a time.
How good is this color though?
Spice up your tank and shorts outfits with these.
Printed dresses will look so fresh with these.
Such an eye-catching shape.
Not just for wednesdays.
Try out a non-neutral bag and watch the compliments roll in.
As you can see here, these look so chic with a blazer.
A solid everyday bag.
No more boring outfits.
