Anatomy Of An It Girl

The accessories guide for the summer.
ESSENCE Street Style Awards
By Valerie Butler & Danielle Wright · Updated August 7, 2023

No Shade

During summer vacations, festivals and rooftop affairs, sunglasses are an everyday necessity. They’re always with you, they have a designated compartment in your car or purse and, in the sun, you’re never seen without them on. Invest in your look by brushing off your staple pair, trying on a new style, or exploring a “cult classic” design.
