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.
