With summer approaching more quickly than we realize, it’s time to accept the fact that we might need some cute new summer accessories. Because I always like to know what’s trending ahead of time, I talked to fashion experts from Free People and Zara about what accessories are trending for summer 2019—and I’m super excited about it. Accessories are such a fun and easy way to keep trendy, and summer 2019 trends are already available in droves.
There are so many on-trend ways to rock your sunnies, bags and even hair accessories this summer, so let’s get to it. The best part about accessories is that it’s less commitment than creating an entirely on-trend outfit—especially if you don’t have the funds to buy an entirely new wardrobe each season. So consider this your excuse to treat yourself on some fun summer 2019 accessories. You’ll stay on-trend without breaking the bank.
This isn’t your grandma’s pearl collection, y’all. Pearls are being used in myriad cute and stylish ways this summer. From fresh takes on pearl jewelry to pearl hair accessories and even sunnies, the stereotypically preppy pearl is getting re-imagined. A Free People Representative suggests trying mixing hard metals and pearls for an extra on-trend look this summer.

It feels like I’m back at camp with this summer 2019 anklet trend. Draw attention to your tan ankles or cute summer sandals with an equally adorable anklet, slated to be big this summer, according to a Free People Representative. They’re available in so many different styles—on-trend shells, delicate gold and silver, crystals—you name it. If it can be turned into an anklet, you’ll probably be able to find it this summer.

TBH, the only place I’d ever seen glasses chains before now was on TV when a librarian was on screen. But, according to a Free People Representative, they’re on-trend and cooler than ever for summer 2019. Sunglasses chains are the perfect quirky accessory for all your cute summer sunnies. Plus, if you’re always losing your glasses, this is an on-trend way to keep them close to you at all times.

Market bags and shoppers in fun fabrics or macrame are going to be seen everywhere this summer, according to a Free People Representative.

Stay on-trend with some cute neon bags, sunnies, etc. They’ll add a fun pop of color to any summer outfit, plus you’ll always be able to find your neon accessories—they’re so fun and bright! Try the trend with also on-trend belt bags (fanny packs, let’s be real) or fun summer sunglasses.
