While clear accessories haven’t always had the best reputation in the
past (unflattering plastic ponchos and lucite heels are most prominently
coming to mind), the new wave of clear jewelry and accessories is anything but cheap or tacky. Clear, which has been popping up in
watches, necklaces, sunglasses, shoes, and more, is great because it’s
versatile — it’s not too fancy, but not too casual either, and the way
it reflects the sun and sparkles without looking like full-on bling is
pretty without overdoing it. More modern than white accessories yet a
little more toned-down than bold brights, clear is a hot way to cool
down as fall arrives!
Beat the late-summer rays with a pair of clear-framed
glasses from Hobo International, or swap your jeweled bib necklaces
for more understated
clear beads. Also, while jelly sandals may have been stylish for
summer, go for a similar look that’s more fall-friendly with these
see-through ballerina
flats from Michael Kors!

It’s no secret that a belt can change your entire outfit in an instant, but few are as multifaceted as this intriguing style. Wear it wide, or unzip each tier to reveal three separate belts that can be worn solo or twisted together for a totally unique, edgy take. Any way you zip it up, it’s guaranteed to be an instant game changer - just what you need to take your favorite dresses and tops to the next level.
Fresh, breezy colors accent this eye-catching loop scarf, a piece that instantly adds a focal point to a plain white T-shirt or a solid colored dress. The tie dye pattern gives it an exuberant feel - and a decidedly non-hippie one, too. In three colors.
