How to Accessorize for a Summer Party
Sunday is the first official day of summer and what better way to kick it off than with a summer party. This season you will probably collect a few invitations to different kinds of events. Don’t worry about your wardrobe because we’ve got you covered from the garden to the reception.
1. Hamptons Party

Okay, so you probably aren’t headed to the end of Long Island this summer, but that doesn’t mean you need to sacrifice this style. Dress code during the day is casual and chic. Match the sun and the scenery with floral themes, pastels and hints of gold. Make sure your outfit is breezy and light for the hot summer days. You don’t need to go heavy on the jewelry, but add at least one statement piece.
2. Garden Party

Garden parties are more formal than typical outdoor gatherings, but don’t forget you are still going to be outside for the majority of the event. Dress in light clothing and accessorize with summer hues and motifs. Floral motifs and golden accessories are perfect for this type of social event.
3. Summer Wedding

Summer is a common time for weddings — the sun is shining and the weather makes for beautiful photos. Make sure you are picture perfect while not outshining the bride. Keep your accessories minimal, but still add a little sparkle.
4. Cocktail Party

Cocktail parties were popularized as an hour- to two hour-long social event where the host would serve cocktails as the guests socialized. Traditionally, the dress code was formal, but today, the dress code can range anywhere between formal and casual. Since we are partial to the idea of a Gatsby-era soiree, we recommend accessorizing with a subtle diamond necklace and an eye-catching cocktail ring.
