Ignite Your Summer Style With Accessory Inspo From NYC’s Aimee Kelly

Putting together an amazing look almost always requires some thoughtful accessories, but nothing compares to the sartorial impact of a great pair of sunglasses. Depending on how you wear them, they can lend effortless cool or subtle glam to any ensemble. While they’re a year-round must-have, summer is when you can really make a great pair the centerpiece of your look.

Take NYC-based content creator and style-setter Aimee Kelly. Kelly believes sunglasses make for the perfect accessory — and points out how they’re one of the first things people notice in someone’s look. “For me, sunglasses are such a statement piece that — many times — I even wear them as an accessory on top of my head, instead of my face,” she says.

Kelly’s wardrobe tends to lean toward bright colors and maximalism, so you can find her wearing colorful tinted lenses and “obsessing over the Y2K comeback.” Her favorite eyewear right now? Bebe’s oversized wire cat-eye glasses. “I love how versatile they are,” says Kelly. “You can wear them with anything, from a suit to athletic leisure. I love how chic and sleek they are, yet the size of the frame gives it that bold, exciting look.” Whether you have outfits to plan for music festivals or vacations with friends, bebe has a ton of great sunglasses to choose from.
