Try These Summer Accessories To Stay Stylish And Comfortable

Shanna Southern Peterson Correspondent

From head to toe, we have the latest scoop on the hottest accessories for summer:

Outta My Way! Stay cool by wearing your hair up in a French twist held in place by lacquered or natural wooden hair sticks with African beads, pearl trim or tortoise detailing.

Short hair? The accessory to look for this season is the versatile clippie. Available in a variety of brights and basics, they are the perfect tool to keep your hair out of your face. Wear one or half a dozen, depending on your mood.

Wrap It Up! Scarves are everywhere this summer. From the boardroom to the beach, you can jazz up practically any outfit with a scarf.

Silk chiffon neckerchiefs in wild animal prints, florals or paislies are just the thing to update that basic navy suit. A good size is 10 inches by 22 inches.

Cover up on the way to the pool with a cotton crinkle scarf worn as a pareo. Tie it around your hips for a skirt or tie it around your neck for a halter top. Choose one that is 44 by 64 inches or larger.

Car 54: Where Are You? Stay in touch while you’re on the go with a personal pager. New models by Motorola offer contemporary, colorful alternatives to the old-style black boxes. They come in hot colors and dynamic patterns like Rootbeer Float, Purple Pizzazz and Monet Mystique.

Their smaller size and rounded shape make them more comfortable and stylish to wear.

Always Be Prepared. What better way to deal with those unexpected emergencies than with a Genuine Swiss Army Knife?

Small and convenient, these pocket-sized tools can help you uncork a bottle of wine, tighten a loose in-line wheel or file your nails.

Step On It! Don’t be caught without a pair of open toe “city sandals” this summer. They combine cool comfort with urban sophistication. Available in a rainbow of colors in leather or vinyl. Wear them with dresses, pantsuits and skirts.
