When you’re thinking of your next weekend summer outfit, you may not immediately be thinking about your beach accessories. It can be hard to think of how to style your favourite shell necklace and straw bag in the city, but if done right they can take your outfit to a whole new level of trendy. Luckily for you, the beach boho vibe is a massive spring summer 2019 fashion trend, and I’ve been looking at the perfect ways to work it into an elegant outfit.

As it is when working with any trend, you need to strike a balance. The key to eternally chic style is being able to take inspiration from what’s happening around you and work it into the classics. The same applies to shell jewelry and all your other favourite beach accessories because after all, another great skill is being able to work the same thing in many different ways, for more than one location. I find that the best way to style your beach accessories is to pair them with classic tailored items.

Here, I paired khaki shorts (a total summer classic) with a white shirt (another classic) from the beautiful Lovely Pepa collection. The base of my outfit are two super classic tailored pieces so when I started to work in my beach tote, my straw hat, my shell jewelry and strappy sandals, the outfit still looked great for a day out in the city. I especially love how the shell jewelry adds a fun touch of summer to the look. Anklets are another huge trend for the summer but don’t fret if you don’t have one. Just repurpose your shell bracelet as an anklet as I did here. I also added in my pearl sunglasses chain.

Don’t be afraid to experiment with beach accessories. A few more outfit combinations you can try could be to rock your shell jewelry with a tailored suit or add in a straw hat to your next summer outfit. It’s so easy!
