You’ve got your swimsuit (perhaps a sleek one-piece, or a hot bikini), your summer dresses, your high-SPF sunscreen, and plans to lounge by the pool, hit the beach, and enjoy the season! Now, it’s time to accessorize.

No summer (or fall, spring, or winter) outfit is complete without the accessories, and we’re loving some of the super-fun and trendy items for this summer! Here, we’re featuring some of the cutest summer accessories, and all of them are under $50.
Sarongs & Cover-Ups:

When you’re not swimming or getting your lizard-mode on (sunbathing), it’s nice to have a sarong or cover-up to wear over your swimsuit. Some cover-ups are so cute that you can basically just wear them as an outfit, making it super easy to transition from pool/beach to a restaurant, cafe, or bar for drinks.

Woven Totes:

A big tote bag is a perfect way to carry your essentials to the pool or the beach! Woven totes are roomy, lightweight, and give that boho vibe we love for summer. A style that’s a nice middle-ground between a traditional tote and a purse will look cute no matter where you’re headed this summer.

Sun Hats:

We all know we need to wear sunscreen when we’re outside, but it’s also important to give your face and eyes extra protection. Keep yourself safe from the sun in style with a cute, summery sun hat. A wide brim and a lightweight material will help to keep you cool and comfortable, even if you can’t find shade.

Sunglasses:

Speaking of keeping your eyes safe from the sun: sunglasses are the ultimate answer! Sunglasses are a must-have summer accessory, and with a pair of oversized or statement sunnies, you’ll feel like a celeb undercover. Honestly, we find ourselves acting differently when we wear sunglasses, so don’t be surprised if you feel extra bougie when wearing yours.

Pool Slides:

Have you ever tried to shove your foot into a shoe after a day at the beach? No fun! You need a pair of easy-to-wear, easy-to-take-off slides made from waterproof material. Super cute slides in water-friendly materials like foam or rubber are just what you need, and so comfy thanks to their thick soles.
