Oval stone necklace
Understated jewelry is fine for colder months but summer calls for bigger, bolder hues that get noticed. That’s why we’ll be sporting this vibrant orange beaded statement necklace with any neutral hot weather outfit. (fantasyjewelrybox.com, $50)

Accent a neutral sundress or plain tee with this colorfully striped beach scarf in a series of summer-ready hues. Greens and purples are perfect for spicing up a white T-shirt or dress. (calypsostbarth.com, $250)
Mosaic statement necklace
Green and blue not only work well together, they make a perfect pairing for warmer weather — especially on this statement necklace featuring Lucite stones in the aforementioned hues. (maxandchloe.com, $110)
Sarong
Along with your shades, a cute bikini and some sunscreen, the other must-have beach accessory is a sarong and we love this vibrant one by Paul Smith in a playful oversize polka dot print. (asos.com, $82)
