For a fashion-girl look, pair leather shorts with a leather shirt-jacket, like Tiffany Hsu above.

Shoulder Bags

In keeping up with the resurgence of the 2000s, a shoulder bag is definitely in order. It’s basically this year’s version of last year’s mini-bag trend!

I, for one, am totally here for this modern basic – at least this trend allows me to hold my phone and my wallet… and maybe even a book!

If you like to keep things neutral, a black shoulder bag is a must-have! That said, there are so many adorable prints out there – zebra print is trending, for instance.

Narrow Sunglasses

I’m telling you now: This is going to be the “it” sunglass shape of the summer!

What I love about these modern basics is that with some slight changes, they can work on any face shape. If you have a smaller face or smaller features, narrower is better (like mine, above). If you have larger features or a more angular face, a thicker frame is better – think clout goggles.

These sunnies look so effortlessly chic and are essential for an edgy or street-style inspired wardrobe.

Chain Necklace

A chain necklace is one of those modern basics that can instantly upgrade any look. Whether you prefer silver, gold, or gunmetal, a chain necklace can make it look like your outfit is far more expensive than it is.

The best part is that you can throw this piece on right before you leave the house to upgrade your look – not to mention, it would look so trendy with the narrow sunglasses above!
