They Have Arrived: 7 New Accessories Trends That Will Immediately Enhance Any Timeless Summer Outfit

      With summer officially upon us, I've begun to contemplate the pieces I wish to invest in to refresh my warm-weather wardrobe. While adding a new article of clothing seems like the obvious choice, I tend to stick with staple items that I feel both comfortable and stylish in—think navy linen trousers, black tank tops, and white cotton skirts. Fortunately, I firmly believe that even the smallest accessories can elevate an outfit. The new season has brought forth several trendy yet timeless accessories that can revitalize my classic looks. For 2025, I've drawn inspiration from some of the most fashionable European dresser seen on my Instagram feed, looking to cities like Paris, London, Copenhagen, and Oslo. While a basket bag and fisherman sandals remain timeless, the trendsetters are embracing slightly more niche accessory trends that feel fresher for 2025 while still being wardrobe staples for years to come. From bold statement bangles to playful jelly sandals and elegant silk scarves, keep reading to discover seven new accessory trends I've spotted among European fashion enthusiasts for summer 2025.

      ### 7 Chic European Accessories Trends for Summer 2025

      1. **Resin Bangles**

       **Style Notes:** Resin bangles have existed since the seventies, and this statement accessory has evolved beyond its previous boho associations. For 2025, these chunky bracelets can be stacked to bring life to even the simplest outfits.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **DINOSAUR DESIGNS**: Rock Set of Two Resin Bangles

       I doubt this set will remain in stock for long.

       - **ASOS DESIGN**: Pack of 3 Resin Bangles

       These colors complement each other beautifully.

       I'm particularly fond of marble jewelry this summer.

      2. **Jelly Sandals**

       **Style Notes:** Growing up in the early 2000s, jelly sandals were a crucial part of my childhood, and I'm thrilled to see their return for 2025. Unlike the glittery styles we had as kids, European fashion figures are opting for more understated, simple designs that combine playfulness with sophistication.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Ancient Greek Sandals**: Jelly Saionara Flip Flops

       Ideal for those seeking a subtler look.

       - **Christopher Esber**: Jo Thong Sandals

       I'm a fan of this contrasting pair.

      3. **Statement Ring**

       **Style Notes:** A stylish dresser will confirm that statement jewelry can instantly elevate an outfit. In 2025, however, fashion enthusiasts are leaning towards more delicate styles that still make an impact while appearing refined and seamlessly fitting into any ensemble. Consider Annabel's serpentine ring, for instance.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Mejuri**: Boa Gemstone Coil Ring

       The gemstone detail stands out beautifully against the sleek gold.

       - **LIE STUDIO**: The Alma 18kt Gold-Plated Ring

       This piece is sure to garner compliments, proving that you don’t need to spend a fortune for elegant-looking jewelry.

      4. **Cord Necklace**

       **Style Notes:** A statement cord necklace is an easy way to infuse some personality into minimalist summer outfits. This accessory strikes the perfect balance between nostalgic charm and modern appeal, making it suitable for both casual and formal occasions.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **SOPHIE BUHAI**: Small Full Moon Silver, Cord and Onyx Necklace

       - **COS**: Molten Pendant Necklace

       This could easily be mistaken for high-end design.

      5. **Neutral Silk Scarf**

       **Style Notes:** While satin scarves aren’t exactly a new trend, fashion-forward individuals are now inclined towards neutral tones that can effortlessly blend into a broader range of summer outfits, as opposed to the bolder prints of previous years. Drape it over your head as Emmanuelle has done, tie it to your tote handle, or wrap it around your waist to enhance your white tank and linen trousers combination.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Toteme**: Centered Monogram Silk Scarf

       A bestseller for a reason.

       - **Sahar**: Monogram Silk Scarf

       - **ME+EM**: Stripe Cotton and Silk Scarf

       The ultimate accessory for the beach.

      6. **Rectangular Sunglasses**

       **Style Notes:** Chunky square sunglasses are perpetual favorites, but for a fresh look, opt for a slimmer rectangular design. This slender, slightly '90s style adds intentionality and ultra-chicness to any outfit.

       **Shop the Trend:**

       - **Celine**: Triomphe Rectangle Sunglasses

       - **MANGO**: Rectangular-Frame Sunglasses

       These seem much more luxurious than their £20 price
