Accessories are often the most overlooked items to shop for, as many a time we find it hard to part with the money in our wallets in exchange for something seemingly small and insignificant. On the contrary, it’s the little things that carry the biggest weight in gelling your outfits together and bringing your clothing to life.
SHEESH! put together a list of must-have, quality accessories worth stretching your dollar for.
1. Lexxola’s ‘Damien’ Sunglasses
Shield your eyes from what’s left of the summer sun with these bold sunglasses made by London-based shop Lexxola, heralded by the brand as “tools for the city.” SHEESH! especially admires the Damien model for its vintage-esque tinted lens and frame, lending the perfect hint of nostalgia. Orange and blue are the most popular colourways, as seen on sassy and stylish girls such as Iris Law, Peggy Gou, Simi Haze and Adwoa Aboah.
2. Blobb Rings
Created in Mexico by the talented Sofia Elias, these punchy, crazy rings emulate mini sculptures for your fingers. Blobb rings come in a myriad of colors and designs to choose from, each with its signature bulbous, misshapen forms and individualistic detail. From green-yellow swirls to pink spikes, you’ll feel like a kid in a candy shop picking Blobbs to deck your fingers (or your toes!) out in.
3. Maharishi Bandanas
Known for its eco-friendly fabrics and military designs, Maharishi makes workwear trendy and high fashion. Most of their clothing comes with a hefty price tag, but don’t let that stop you from shopping at their store. The most affordable way to rep the brand’s signature Japanese military inspired camo prints is by incorporating their attractive bandanas into your next look. Get creative and wear it as a headscarf, necktie or even a tie-around scarf top.
4. Wald Berlin’s Smilie Dude Pearl Necklace
Made to order in Berlin, this cheeky necklace boasts all natural organically shaped pearls and sweet, smiley face beads – a perfect balance of elegance and youthfulness. Popularised by A$AP Rocky, these cheerful smile-themed necklaces are making a huge comeback. What better excuse to support Wald Berlin, a fair trade collective aimed at empowering females?
5. Von Dutch Trucker Hats
This one’s for all the Y2K fanatics. Von Dutch is undoubtedly one of the biggest names in the 2000s fashion scene, with OG vintage items being worn by celebrities such as Emma Chamberlain and sold as grails on Depop and Ebay. Luckily for us, Von Dutch has recently released a modern 2000s revamp collection (photographed by the talented Brent Mckeever), featuring a slew of affordable caps adorned with classic Von Dutch logos and noughties embellishments. Make sure to get your hands on a pair before they sell out again, or check out SHEESH!’s other recommended trucker hat brands.
6. Eytys Angel Shoes
Chunky sole shoes are a staple of every fashion icon’s closet. Elevate that fashion trend from classic Doc Martens and shop at uber chic and cyber-retro brand Eytys, whose unisex Angel collection of 90s inspired trail shoes are sure to lend that height, bulk and weight to any outfit to make you stand out from the crowd. Sheesh Magazine particularly loves the classic Angel Black Leather trainers featuring Eytys’ signature huge sole. Don’t be afraid to mix patterns as well and try the ‘Serengeti’ leopard inspired print.
7. Vivienne Westwood Mini Bas Relief Silver & Pearl Choker Necklace
As the biggest brand to shape the 1970s punk scene in the UK, it is to nobody’s surprise that Vivienne Westwood’s name still lends weight as one of the most popular brands of this era. Loved by both preppy fashionistas and punk rock avant garde creatives, this iconic pearl choker necklace is one of the most versatile staple pieces to purchase. It is a key staple to dress up any outfit with a touch of classy elegance, whilst representing a piece of history around your neck.
