The rest of the seasons are fine and all, but there's just something special about summer fashion. Pieces are lighter, more eye-catching, often colorful, and usually a lot more fun. This is especially true when it comes to accessories. Even for those who, like myself, tend to dress on the simpler side, a trendy little bag or pair of special sandals can propel even the most basic of looks to another level—one which I very much enjoy dressing at.
If you're on the same page, then I think you'll like what we've got for you today. With the help of our very own Who What Wear collection, I've rounded up a whopping 32 trend-forward summer accessories, all of which are also under $100.
So whether you're looking to add a bright bag to your collection or are still on the hunt for those perfect sandals, I've got you covered. To see and shop them all for yourself, plus take in a little styling inspiration along the way, just keep scrolling.
