These 32 Accessories Are What I Like to Call Wardrobe Enhancers

I often refer to basics as the staples in a wardrobe. It’s these versatile picks that really help balance out a top-notch closet. When it comes to accessories, I often put them in the "enhancers” category. Basically, I believe that you can wear a simple look featuring jeans, a tee, and a cardigan, for example, and take the ensemble to the next level with a few standout add-ons. TBH, this type of look is what I typically wear in my day-to-day life. I love a pared-down vibe complete with a statement shoe or bag.
On that note, I thought I’d share some of the stellar accessories I’ve noticed recently while scrolling through the new-arrivals sections at various retailers such as Nordstrom, Shopbop, and Net-a-Porter. I think incorporating one of these special pieces could truly enhance your wardrobe this summer given their effortlessly chic nature. Keep scrolling to check out bold sandals, sleek sunglasses, darling bags, and more.
