Channel a Retro-Meets-Modern Vibe with These Elevated Summer Looks

Everyone who has great style knows the power of accessories. Whether it's a rogue piece of jewelry, like a standout necklace by Pomellato or Mikimoto pearl ring, or an unmissable Maison Michel hat, accessories can elevate the most basic look to an ensemble that feels energetic and edgy. This summer's must-have pieces help create a a vibe that combines retro and moden aesthetics.

What makes for a good pairing in this realm? A top handle bag like Colombo's paired with spike earrings by Giovanni Raspini makes for a fresh combination. The bag's traditional silhouette complements the more modern shape of the jewelry. Unexpected accessories also take the spotlight here. Rather than a piece of jewelry or funky shoe, corsets are also worthy contenders. Elisabetta Franchi's sheer-panelled option, for example, can help elevate a simple shirt-skirt pairing.
