Wooden Hoop Earrings, Free People, $28.00
This summer, ditch your pair of gold hoop earrings. Mind you, we are still loving hoops, just not the ones made with metal. Match your dress with some wood hoops to achieve an organic, beachy look. Wear it with neutral makeup and a peach lipstick for a little extra glow.

Fanny packs used to be looked at with a healthy dose of distaste. But it has made a comeback, and we love the new style. Whether you choose a braided fanny pack or a bright one, this would make your summer dress pop out while also cinching your waist for a more feminine shape. Wear some white sneakers for a perfect street style look.

- Round Sunglasses
Round Sunglasses, Chanel
A summer outfit without a pair of sunglasses just doesn’t look complete. And you also need that eye protection from the blaring sun. Oversized round sunglasses are also currently on trend and will make a subtle statement piece with your dress. Style it with some minimalist earrings to maintain some balance.
- Straw Hats
Straw Hat, Topshop, $30
Straw hats are feminine, classic, and also very useful. It’s a summer essential any practical girl should have. Plus, it would be the perfect hat for your dress to create a breezy, beachy vibe. Style this look with your favorite sunglasses.
- Kimono/Beach Cover Up

Some summers night can be quite chilly, so you would need something to layer your dress. A kimono is a perfect jacket or cover up for nights like this. They’re also very versatile and can be worn over shorts, pants, and bikinis. A good cover-up is something you should look out for and will certainly spice up your summer wardrobe this year! Wear some strappy flat sandals to complete the look.
