The 5 Accessory Staples Taking Over Summer 2025
Accessories have officially stopped playing backup. This summer, they’re running the whole show. Here’s what’s owning the streets right now:
- Oversized shades that eat half your face
If they don’t make you look like you’re dodging paparazzi, they’re too small. - Watches with main-character energy
SKÉLÉTON BLACK GOLD, MÉ-CHANIC CRYSTAL PURPLE, RÉ-NEGADE GREY PUMPKIN… pieces so bold they don’t care if you’re wearing sweats or silk. - Stacks on stacks
Layer bracelets, mix metals, throw in something neon for head-turner points. The rules are dead. - Unexpected colour combos
Candy pink with army green, electric blue with gold… clashing is the new matching. - Street-to-beach crossovers
Mesh totes, bucket hats, water-resistant watches. If it can survive a skate sesh and a sand dune, it’s in.
This summer is less about completing your outfit and more about letting your accessories hijack it completely. Your watch isn’t the period, it’s the all-caps headline.
