Summer may be entering its final stretch but the final weeks are no time to take your foot off the style pedal. From sunglasses with celebrity approval to a speaker that brings the party with you and cleverly designed everyday accessories, these stylish extras will help you see the season out on a high.
1. Le Specs
Le Specs Star Beam Sunglasses
Star Beam Sunglasses, LE SPECS, $95
Zendaya was recently spotted wearing the Le Specs Honey Pot sunglasses while out for a stroll in London with hubby Tom Holland, putting the Australian eyewear brand firmly back on our style radar. Other fans include Zayn Malik, Kendall Jenner, and Justin Bieber. The Star Beam sunglasses from Le Specs are another standout style, bringing plenty of Y2K attitude without looking like they came straight from a costume box. Their slim oval wrap shape feels sporty and futuristic, while the antique gunmetal frame and warm brass lenses add a more refined, slightly vintage edge. Crafted from recycled metal, they feature sculpted beveled temples, sleek paddle tips and adjustable nose pads for a comfortable, personalized fit. The result is a pair that makes a statement while remaining surprisingly wearable.

Summer’s still in full swing but even the best gatherings can fall flat when the music barely reaches the other side of the lawn/patio/pool. The Fender ELIE 6 offers a stylish solution, delivering 60 watts of crystal clear sound with a built in subwoofer for rich, immersive bass. Compact and easy to carry, it has an IP54 dust and splash resistant rating, making it ideal for poolside afternoons and outdoor entertaining. It also offers up to 18 hours of battery life, while a quick 15 minute charge provides another 90 minutes of playtime. More than just a Bluetooth speaker, it features microphone and instrument connectivity, allowing it to double as a portable PA system or amp for karaoke and live music. It can connect with additional ELIE speakers and even charge your phone when its battery runs low.

The Hardin Forged Carabiner, JAMES, $39
Even if the closest you ever get to a mountain is a steep walk home, a carabiner makes a surprisingly stylish city accessory. The Hardin by The James Brand proves that practical everyday essentials can still have a strong sense of design. Made from lightweight aerospace grade 6063 aluminum, its tapered form and clever dual compartment design help keep your keys centered and prevent them from escaping when you clip it onto a belt loop or bag. A strong spring loaded gate keeps your necessities secure, while the included titanium key ring adds another premium detail. The wine red and silver color combination gives this sturdy little accessory a polished finish that feels far more considered than the average key clip. The multiple color combinations gives this sturdy little accessory a polished finish that feels more considered than the average key clip.
