When it’s hot out, the last thing you want is an overcomplicated outfit. That’s where accessories come in—they’re the finishing touches that make your basics feel styled, pulled together, and intentional.
Arielle Charnas’s July Collages and July Looks boards on LTK are full of elevated staples, breezy dresses, and easy layers. But what makes the outfits stand out is the accessories she uses again and again.
If you’re looking to refresh your summer wardrobe without overhauling your closet, start here. These are the only accessories you really need this season, according to Arielle Charnas.
1. Woven Bags That Go With Everything
Whether it’s a structured tote or a slouchy mini, woven bags are the ultimate summer carry-all. They add texture and warmth to any outfit, and Arielle uses them in a variety of looks—from floral slip dresses to neutral loungewear.
These bags pair effortlessly with white, cream, and blush, but they also ground brighter pieces like printed sundresses and colorful stripes. The natural material feels seasonally appropriate and instantly gives your outfit a relaxed but styled vibe.
Try styling one with:
- A white tank and pleated shorts
- A bright midi dress and neutral slides
- Your favorite swim set and oversized button-down
2. Sculptural Earrings That Make the Outfit
If you’re skipping heavy makeup or over-the-top outfits in the heat, statement earrings are your best friend. Arielle’s July boards feature oversized gold hoops, twisted metals, and abstract shapes—accessories that do the work for you.
What makes them great is how easily they dress up basics. A simple knit dress, linen pants, or cotton romper suddenly feels polished with a bold earring.
Pro tip: Keep the rest of your jewelry minimal. These earrings shine best when they’re the focus.
3. Neutral Sandals You’ll Wear All Summer
Arielle leans into understated sandals in shades like beige, white, tan, and ivory. The simplicity is key—these are shoes that work across your whole wardrobe, whether you’re wearing wide-leg trousers or a tiered sundress.
She favors clean silhouettes, including:
- Strappy white heeled sandals
- Flat slides with a minimal design
- Nude sandals with slight texture or stitching
Because they’re not trend-heavy, they’ll carry you through multiple summers. And since they go with everything, you won’t spend time overthinking your outfit.
4. Bold Sunglasses for Instant Cool
Nothing finishes a summer outfit like a great pair of sunglasses. From oversized tortoiseshell frames to retro round lenses, Arielle’s collection proves that shades are more than just practical. They’re a key part of the look.
Some favorites spotted on her LTK boards:
- Green-lens aviators with striped sets
- Chunky black frames with all-white outfits
- Angular square sunglasses with sleek black swim
They’re an easy way to add edge, contrast, or a little color to a neutral base. Even better? They pull everything together in under five seconds.
Keep It Simple, Make It Stylish
Arielle Charnas’s July styling approach is proof that you don’t need a million accessories—just a few thoughtful ones. Woven bags, sculptural earrings, neutral sandals, and bold sunglasses show up again and again in her looks, and for good reason. They’re versatile, elevated, and easy to wear.
