Must-Have Heel: Block Heel
Walking into warm weather has never felt this supportive. Forget subjecting your tootsies to super-skinny stilettos and sky-high platforms because, this season, designers emphasized wearability and ease. Block heels, found in wood, wild prints and Lucite, are accessible at one to three inches.

Must-Have Rings: More Is Better
Statement jewellery has its place in accessorizing, but what really adds punch is mixing and matching rings. Three or four will add an interesting element to any outfit without overpowering it. Since they spotlight your mani, make sure polish game is on point.

Must-Have Sunglasses: Mirrored Lenses
Round shades continue to be the au courant shape, but if you're still not digging circular frames, don't fret! This trend doesn't lie in the shape; it's all about the finish. Mirrored lenses are sporty and complement all face shapes because they're available in many silhouettes, sizes and colours.
