I’m a big fan of multi-use pieces – especially when the weather warms up, or I’m heading somewhere sunny.
So, when I spotted these clever summer accessories from Joe Browns, I got a little excited!
Accessories can completely lift your outfit – and when they’re versatile and offer multiple uses, I’m all in!
They help you travel lighter, mix and match more, and still feel like you.
Santorini 3-piece Set
This clever little set has triple the appeal – hat, scarf and bag, all in one handy set!
The straw hat even attaches to the bag when not in use, so no more crushed hats at the bottom of your suitcase!
Whether you’re off on holiday, away for the weekend or enjoying the great British summer, this one’s a great space-saver.
Available in Pink here * and blue.*
Why it works
This is a fab all-rounder – use it depending on your mood, the weather or your style!
– Add any of the three to elevate your outfit
– The hat offers shade and helps keep you cool
– Style the scarf in your hair, around your wrist or even tied to a bag – it’s a lovely, lightweight option that adds a bit of interest.
Is it your colour?
The Santorini set definitely adds a splash of colour! If you’ve had a colour analysis with me, it’s worth checking your swatches for a colour match.
There are two colour options – both lean towards the cooler side (though I do wish there were more choices!).
– The pink is a bright, cool hue – great for Cools and anyone with a cool undertone.
– The blue is still bold, but less bright. It’s a fab option for Deeps or Clears.
If you’ve got a warm skin tone, just be mindful – the pink hat or scarf in particular might cast shadows when worn close to your face.
For everyone else, consider your personality – having a bold colour pop might just be your thing!

Towel, Sarong & Bag
Joe Browns have nailed it again with this clever summer trio – a sarong, towel and clutch bag all rolled into one.
Throw on the sarong, fold it into the clutch, or use it to dry off after a dip – it’s practical, stylish and lightweight. Check it out here*.
Why it works
There’s towelling on one side, so it doubles up as something to lounge or dry off with. And it’s easy to throw in your case for maximum versatility!
– A stylish cover-up for the beach or pool
– Lay it out for a picnic or sunbathing
– Use the clutch in the evening or as a handy make-up pouch

Is it your colour?
This one’s warmer in tone, with a pink that leans towards coral – so it has a soft, warm undertone.
If you have a cool undertone, don’t worry – it’s worn away from the face, so it’s a more forgiving option than you might think.
Final thoughts
Accessories don’t have to be an afterthought – they’re the finishing touch that can really bring your outfit together and show off your personality. These two are brilliant examples of summer accessories that tick all the boxes for me: multi-use, practical, stylish ad colourful!
Before you shop, have a look in your own wardrobe. You might already have a few pieces that can be reimagined:
– Shirts worn open as beach cover-ups
– Kaftans that work day-to-evening
– Classic cut-down denim shorts (a summer staple!)

If you’re not sure what works for your colouring, shape or style, that’s where I can help. A personalised consultation will help you dress (and shop) with purpose – no matter the season.
Until then, here’s to a stylish summer – and I hope these inspire you to pack less and style more!
