The Trend: Straw accessories

Nothing whispers summer like a natural woven accessory in a neutral shade. Incorporating pieces with this beachy feel is easily attainable at any price point and at any age. Fresh, airy and always in style, adding a little "straw" instantly lightens up an outfit and is a sophisticated alternative to other classic summer choice, like canvas.
