The square scarf

Products: Leopard print scarf, Gingham scarf, Blue and beige scarf, Black scarf, Pink scarf, Lavender scarf, Flower scarf

This chic accessory has made a huge comeback this year because of the need to wear facial masks in public and the arrival of my favorite show, Outer Banks.

It doesn’t have to just work as a face cover, wear it on your head, as a shirt, or even as a sarong.

From this season’s pastels, to always-in leopard print, this accessory will instantly make you look like a Hollywood star (or even just a TikTok fashionista).

No cover, cover-ups

Products: White shirt, Black skirt, Light pink sarong, Leopard print pants, White sarong, Pink pants

While most people would frown upon showing up to class in a see through scarf around your waste, there are no rules when it comes to beach accessories.

Sarongs are especially making a comeback this year, and as a Brazilian I can’t help but be stoked.
