While delicate and dainty have their place in understated looks on mod influencers, right now we’re enjoying the adversary of simplistic styles—thick, bold and capable to be seen across the room. The following accessories aren’t afraid to be seen or make a statement or largely enhance a bold look.
Quay Star Struck Sunglasses, $80; Quay Frivolous Sunglasses, $39; Charley’s Boutique, 5761 Manatee Ave. W., Bradenton, 941-345-4603, charleysboutique.com, @charleys.boutique.
Wide leather belts, straps that are studded and also versatile, and combat boots with chunky soles don well with the strong, dominating utilitarian look. Meanwhile, big hair barrettes and old Hollywood glamour sunglasses give us total ’60s vibes. For some on-trend carrier vessels, put aside the tiny wristlets and mini purses that fit your coins and chapstick.
Cori Leather Belt, $132; Hair Clip Barrettes, $10 (sold individually in a variety of colors and shapes); Aniya Hoop Earrings, $40; BLEND Fashion House, 1913 S. Osprey Ave., Sarasota, 941-552-9379, blendfashionhouse.com, @blend_fashion_house.
Sovage Covey Blue Sandal, $199; T.Georgiano’s Boutique, 1409-B 1st St., Sarasota, 941-870-3727, tgeorgianos.com, @tgeorgianos.
We’re expanding to large bucket bags, briefcase-style purses and oversize totes—which means you can fit all of life’s daily essentials, plus a puppy, in one roomy carrying compartment. By now it should be fairly obvious. We want to be able to spot your conspicuous accessories from across the street and salute you. SRQ
