The summer of 2026 is all about accessories, and NET-A-PORTER's latest edit showcases the hottest trends in luxury fashion. From statement sunglasses to eye-catching scarves and dream bags, this season is all about making a statement with your accessories. Here's a breakdown of the key pieces that will elevate your summer style, along with my personal take on each trend.
Summer Sunnies
I'm obsessed with the current trend of oversized sunglasses. A pair of bug-eye shades instantly adds a cool, edgy vibe to any outfit. For a more classic look, aviator frames and slimmer shades are always a safe bet. My favorites include MIU MIU's rounded-frame acetate sunglasses, SAINT LAURENT's SL 868 squared-frame acetate sunglasses, and BOTTEGA VENETA's ribbon cat-eye tortoiseshell acetate sunglasses. These pieces will become your go-to accessory for a stylish summer look.
Statement Scarves
Scarves are often associated with winter, but these statement pieces are perfect for adding a touch of glamour to your summer ensembles. I love the idea of tying a scarf around your hair, waist, or handbag. VALENTINO GARAVANI's embroidered fringed silk crocheted scarf and TOTEME's printed silk-twill scarf are standout choices. For a more casual look, LES VACANCES D'IRINA's sailor cotton-voile triangle scarf is a great option.
Handbags and Totes
When it comes to summer bags, versatility is key. I'm a fan of mixing it up with different styles. SAINT LAURENT's Cassandre mini beaded wood bucket bag is perfect for a picnic or a casual outing. LOEFFLER RANDALL's Sol striped woven raffia tote is ideal for everyday errands, while ALAÏA's Le Teckel PVC shoulder bag is a stylish choice for a night out. For a more formal event, PUCCI's Emilio printed silk twill clutch bag is a timeless option.
Jewelry
Minimalist jewelry is usually my go-to, but this season I'm embracing a more nautical-inspired look. Deep-blue gems, seashells, and beaded pieces add a playful yet polished touch to any outfit. DINOSAUR DESIGNS' River Rock gold-plated, resin, and leather necklace, MARTHA CALVO's Alba gold-plated glass necklace, TOHUM's Samsara gold-plated and seashell beaded earrings, and JENNIFER BEHR's Veronica gold-tone quartz necklace are some of my favorite picks. These pieces will become your summer staple, adding a touch of elegance to any ensemble.
In my opinion, accessories are the secret weapon to taking any outfit from basic to breathtaking. These luxury pieces from NET-A-PORTER's edit will become your go-to accessories for the season, offering a mix of style, versatility, and a touch of summer flair. So, embrace the power of accessories and have fun experimenting with different looks!
