10 ACCESSORIES £75 AND UNDER TO SEE OUT THE SUMMER IN STYLE

New Balance performance multi logo ankle sock 3 pack in multi, £17
​

The best 'fits start with a solid foundation, and what could be more foundational than a pair of socks? Summer means an exponentially higher chance of said socks being on show, so do yourself a favour and go for New Balance's triple pack. Each pair comes in sorbet or neutral shades you'd be happy to show the light of day.

adidas Originals Sport canvas tote bag in warm vanilla and indigo, £40
​

August is the last chance to book in a long beach day or weekend away, so you'll need a tote that's large enough for a towel and a change of clothes. adidas Originals' tote fits the bill nicely, and its vanilla shade is a cool, subtle alternative to basic white.

ASOS DESIGN smart leather belt with gold buckle in brown, £14
​

Yes, a black belt is the accepted style standard, but there's a summer exemption for brown – it just looks better with the season's naturally-hued linen shorts and suits. A smart version like ASOS DESIGN's will stand you in good stead next season too, as the colour goes so well with indigo jeans and autumnal colours like burgundy and forest green.

Prohibited camp camo scarf in multi, £22

A jaunty scarf isn't just an aesthetic flourish, though Prohibited's camo-print bandana will look excellent knotted over a vest or tee. You can also tie it around your neck on a hike to add an extra layer of sun protection or, if it's windy, to secure a cap in breezy weather.

Tommy Hilfiger flag pool slider in navy, £45

The clue is in the name – you'll need a pair of these if you want to clock in serious poolside hours. Tommy Jeans' are minimal and sleek with graphic branding, and will double up as a casual shoe option for your most laidback last-of-summer outfits.

Polaroid Sunglasses Metal pilot sunglasses with green polarized lenses in gold, £75

If you haven't already, you need to invest in a solid pair of sunglasses that'll stand the test of time. Polaroid's aviator-style pair is timeless and has polarised lenses that cut glare – that means a crisper, cleaner view on the world.

Slick Gorilla Hair Styling Powder 20g, £12

If you're a hand-luggage-only type of person on holiday, you'll need multifunctional haircare. Meet Slick Gorilla's Hair Styling Powder, which texturises, tames and moulds hair, and makes it look fuller. It's fresh, it's matte, it doesn't accumulate a lot of build-up. It could be witchcraft, frankly.

ASOS DESIGN floral tie with contrast blue stitching and pocket square in green, £18

The last of the summer weddings are starting to roll in, so you'll need a tie and a pocket square for that tricky in-between season time. ASOS DESIGN's floral tie and pocket square is a good bridging accessory – the florals feel summery but the colours lean autumnal. They'll look just as good with August's beige linen suit as November's navy wool.

New Balance '47 bucket hat in cortado, £40
​

Gorpcore isn't going anywhere, so you may as well get involved with New Balance's hat. Something Liam Gallagher could easily have worn in his 90s heyday, this style has an extended bucket brim to shield from the sun's rays and a handy drawstring toggle. It'll look equally at home on hikes or at all-dayer festivals.

Reclaimed Vintage unisex stainless steel chain with mixed metal necklace, £15.99

Summer-centric jewellery (think beach beads and sun-themed pieces) will always have a place in the season's heart, but at this stage of the game we're erring towards more subtle styles like this necklace. Go for small details that'll set your August 'fits apart from the pack – like this Reclaimed Vintage stainless steel chain complete with an eye-catching mixed-metal element.
