Whether you're a lover of basics or routinely trial trends, accessories are a category where you can really play no matter where you fall on the fashion spectrum. For Summer, when the general mood is easy breezy, simple outfits always feel the best whether you're concocting looks for the office, holiday, or weekend activities. While warm weather always puts me in an experimental mood — I'm currently obsessed with bubblegum pink shades and pretty much anything with a puffy sleeve — I tend to keep the majority of my Summer outfits simple. Where I get really playful is with my accessories, whether it's a statement-making shoe, unique bag, or bold piece of jewellery. The best part is that these types of accessories make enough of an impact on their own that a simple outfit is oftentimes best to keep them fully in the spotlight. And wouldn't you know that the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's is filled will stylish basics (all coming in at $50 or less!) to pair with Summer's biggest accessory trends — from the sandal every fashion girl is wearing to this season's It sunglasses shape, and a new-season take on the ubiquitous straw bag. In other words, it just got a whole lot easier to rock the freshest accessory trends with minimal effort. Ahead, scroll through for the top 10 accessory trends for Summer styled with fresh and affordable basics from the POPSUGAR collection at Kohl's.
