Store your subtle metallics for another season. Summer’s motto is the brighter (and yes, the gaudier), the better. Complementing your sunny glow (whether it’s from the actual sun or a bottle), shiny designs will look their finest. But what else will their glimmer go with? Why a matching gold necklace of course! Bronzed babes never leave home without one. Aurelie Bidermann has just the right collar (at Barneys New York for $1,310) to get a real chokehold on the summer style.
Stella McCartney Pembridge Braided Crossbody Bag: The braiding on this Pembridge is spring break ready, but with the bag’s structured shape, it’s also oddly grown-up. At Neiman Marcus for $1,335.
Serpui Marie Barbarella Minaudiere: For those wild summer nights out, all you’ll need is this little Brazilian bombshell. On Shopbop for $146.30 (from $209).
Jerome Dreyfuss Bobi Small Shoulder Bag: Jerome has cinched the gold standard in suede, creating a bag that’s both high-shine and sumptuous. Carry it on your shoulder or a slouchy clutch. At Barneys New York for $605.
Rochas Borsa Zigzag Leather Tote: A sandy, shimmering tote fit for a trip to the beach, but also restrained enough to carry at home. On Shopbop for $1,245.
3.1 Phillip Lim 31 Minute Bag: Phillip Lim’s cracked gold helped bring back my love of textured leather. The metallic coating is so shiny it even matches the hardware! At Barneys New York for $650.
