Welcome to Part II of your ultimate style guide for Summer ‘25.
Now that your closet’s stacked with statement pieces and dreamy staples, it’s time to go deeper—because no look is complete without the extras.
This summer is not about playing it safe, it’s about playing it loud, proud, and unapologetically you. Whether you’re tying it up with a scarf, dripping in playful charms, or going bold with your bling, the accessories of the season are doing the most, so you don’t have to.
So, let’s get into it: neckwear, arm candy, bag flare, and all the colorful details that will turn every fit to an unforgettable one.
From Neckwear to Everywhere:
Whether farm girl head scarf or cool 90s bandanna, both were slowly making way in the previous seasons but this year the scarf trend takes a whole new twist with around the waist twist (OK, bad pun here).
Moving forward, I can hands down attest that this is a one-of-a-kind trend that can spice up any basic look– simply grab a square scarf and wrap it around your waist and you’re good to go. Even better, you can replace a wider one for a skirt with an oversized shirt tucked in for a head-turning styled-up coastal look.
Of course, we technically live in a rule-free fashion world nowadays so feel free to get a little creative by styling it with different unexpected fits and mixing and matching different prints and colors together.
The bolder, the More Colorful, The Better:
As mentioned earlier, when it comes to jewelry this season, the bolder, the bigger, and more colorful the better.Which is no surprise, as that’s the general vibe summer is all about this year. Also, shells are making a huge comeback this season, so don’t shy away from integrating shells in any of your jewellery pieces or even bags, tops, and whatever else that can be shell-appropriate.
Charmed Maximalism:
I was seriously wondering if I really still need to mention this one since it’s all over the place but figured I should give it the “Farida’s Fashion” stamp of approval in case you haven’t already fallen for this trend.
So yes, following the same playful theme of the season, bag charms are all the rage.
So go ahead and bedazzle your bags with some Labubus here, some Hello Kitties there and every other charm your heart desires. No order, no matching needed, this time around the messier the better. But let’s seriously face it, do you really need a Labubu to own this trend successfully?
Absolutely not! If you aren’t particularly intrigued by it, then simply don’t get it just because everyone else is. Instead, opt to personalise your charm selection to make it one of a kind, just like you!
Last words
With scarves worn everywhere and jewellery that screams joy, accessories this summer are loud, fun, and absolutely necessary. Whether you’re a maximalist charm queen or a shell-studded minimalist, now’s the time to personalise, layer, and get creative.
And don’t worry, we’re not done yet.
In Part III, I’m giving you the final piece of the puzzle: shoes. Because head-to-toe fashion means nothing if the toe isn’t on point. From jelly sandals to sneakerinas, let’s finish this style serving strong.
