8 Outdated Summer Accessories and 8 That Are So Trendy

With the ebb and flow of the trend cycle comes an accumulation of items that increase or decrease in popularity each season. Of course, though, you should always wear whatever you love, regardless of what's deemed as trendy by some. That said, if you are looking for a bit of summer shopping inspiration, we thought we'd share some of the items we're currently loving and also putting aside for now. Oh, and we wanted to focus on accessories specifically. Hey, those special add-ons can really take any wardrobe to that next level.

A few members of our fashion team gave insights into the outdated summer accessories they're personally not into and also offered up feedback on the trendy pieces they're going to be wearing instead. As a preview, there's everything from a statement-making jewelry trend to a fresh sunglasses look coming your way.

Keep scrolling for more, including a range of summer shopping recommendations as well.

"Although I'll still be keeping a pair or two on hand, as they are a classic, cat-eye sunglasses seem to be cooling off for now, so I won't be wearing them as much this summer. It's retro aviators I'm looking to instead, especially those with colored lenses that will make all my outfits pop."
"Maybe it's because I'm closer to 40 than 30, but the trend of wearing cutesy barrettes has peaked for me. A trend that I'm definitely not over, even though it's been around for a minute, is baseball caps. I think they look good on everyone. Most importantly, they shield your face from the sun."
"While I've always loved the idea of tie-up sandals and even newer trends like tricky toes, I know for a fact that as I begin to go out more, my feet will not be able to handle any uncomfortable shoe trend. So this summer, I've decided I'll be embracing simpler trends like thong sandals and mules. They give the same intricate statement shoe detailing without the pain."
"Midi rings have been put on (likely permanent) hiatus for me. Instead, I've been thinking of getting my 'alternative' jewelry fix with belly chains."
"While I still love my nylon belt bag for its utility, I don't plan on buying any new styles in the name of trends—for now. On the other hand, I can't get enough of vintage-inspired shoulder bags at the moment and for the foreseeable future."
"This summer, I can't get enough of the cool flatform sandals that have popped up everywhere. They're just as comfortable as the pool slides that were huge a few years back but feel a bit more polished and intentional."
"While I've loved chunky-chain jewelry for so long (and they'll never disappear from my jewelry box entirely), I'm definitely favoring modern and cool pearl jewelry this summer, especially when mixed with other metals, delicate chains, or crafty beads."
"Tiny sunglasses were a trend I should have never tried, so I am grateful they are finally on the fritz. Instead, I'm leaning into larger retro frames."

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
