@chainkyr"These sunglasses are the perfect accessory," Chainky shared with us. "They have an instant cool factor, making me look effortless without trying too hard."

@xbibigul"The return of '70s style sunglasses was long overdue," Bibi insisted. She's preaching to the choir, as they're a trend we called earlier this spring. "Bigger is definitely better with this style. I love how it effortlessly adds an extra touch of rock 'n' roll to my outfits."

@modestmira_According to Amira, "the baseball hat trend is not usually to everyone's taste, even more so when you're placing it over a headscarf." The UK-based content creator calls the look a "cap and 'jab" in reference to layering a baseball cap over her hijab (cute, right?). "Though, it's a nice little accessory to uplift an outfit," she continued, "giving it that cool street style edge. It's definitely a style statement, and it can't just be any old baseball cap—one that has the tiniest logo or even completely free of branding is the style I lean toward personally."

@nlmarilynMarilyn shared that "adding a baseball hat or scarf automatically elevates your look," and based on how she styled it here, we couldn't agree more.

@fridabeckerFrida loves that the chunky necklace is such a simple accessory but can bring so much life to an outfit. "It can transform a simple look into a more funky and fun one just like that," she says.

@liezel.esquire"What I love about the chunky chain trend is the sophistication it brings to any outfit. That's why I love wearing it with suits to bring it more to life," shared our Cape Town, South Africa–based reader Liezel.

@maria_bernadMaría noted, "I've been wearing scarfs in all different ways, but this one is one of my favorites because it's a silly way to wear it, the 'babushka' way."

@nlmarilynThe addition of sunglasses with this scarf trend takes Marilyn's look to a whole new level of chic.

@alyssainthecityAlyssa played up the retro vibe of her scarf by styling it with an oversize trench coat. Her Venetian backdrop doesn't hurt, either.

@champagnemani"One of the first cute clips I got was a gift from a friend who visited Copenhagen," Imani shared with us. "Since then, I try to collect them on trips or have people bring me them from their adventures. Most recently my mom got me some in Hawai'i and a friend brought me some from Japan. I typically only wear hair accessories when my hair is straightened, which is quite rare. I guess that makes hair claws special to me. They're not an everyday thing. I just appreciate what they can bring to an outfit. They can be a fun pop of color to a look. Sometimes they feel like an extension of my jewelry, and I typically wear them all twisted up, with a few wispy pieces in the front."

@laurenelson"I'm always on the go and need my hair out of my face. I love that the big hair clips can add style or color to my outfit and they don't crease my hair," Lauren noted.

@xbibigulBibi told us that she adores incorporating statement belts into her outfits. "They serve the purpose of accentuating your waist, at the same time instantly making you look put-together. Also, with chain belts, you can easily revamp any outfit all year round."

@anaasaberAccording to New York–based content creator Anaa, "the chain belt has always been one of my signature go-to accessories. It's the perfect way you can tie any look together. It goes well on dresses, pants, and skirts; the ultimate trio. I have one for every occasion."
