From colour-pop sunglasses to silk scarves and statement earrings, these holiday accessories will breathe new life into sunny-weather styling

Flights: booked. Suitcase: not packed. But don’t panic, playful-yet-versatile accessories are here to bring ease to your holiday wardrobe. Personal Stylist Jolie loves to spark joy through colour (especially in summer), and here, she reveals the versatile essentials that work from sunrise to sunset.

1.

Colourful sunglasses

‘Sunshine style starts with your sunglasses. Be bold and choose a colourful pair – they’ll brighten your mood and add instant polish to your outfit. Remember, sunglasses aren’t just practical – they’re your secret and super easy style weapon.’

2.

Straw bags

‘As a spacious carry-on, a stylish beach bag or the perfect tote for shopping trips, a straw bag is a holiday must-have. Plus, its natural texture complements any outfit. Once you invest in a good one, it will travel the globe with you for years to come.’

3.

Bucket hats

‘Hats are often overlooked and depicted as being too difficult to pack, but the right one will fold flat and adapt to multiple looks. A reversible option is even better – use the gingham side of this design to add interest to simpler outfits and the plain, pared-back side with busier prints.’
