I'm a fashion editor and these are the outdated accessories you should NEVER wear - plus the on-trend pieces to buy instead
We are well into wedding guest season and if you don't have time to find a new outfit, why not spruce up an old faithful dress or suit with this season's most sought-after accessories instead? A good bag, some fabulous earrings or a statement headpiece can totally transform an outfit. But there are few new rules to follow when it comes to adorning yourself this summer.
Forget fascinators - chunky headbands are the new, less fusty, style to try. Get rid of your clutch bag too, and swap it for a spangly piece of arm candy with a strap instead.

Smiling Emma Raducanu & Carlos Alcaraz grow closer as pair spotted with arms round each other in pics for water brand
SMILING tennis aces Emma Raducanu and Carlos Alcaraz grow closer on and off court — and seem destined for a love match. Brit Emma, 22, put her arm around the world No.2 as he joined her as a global brand ambassador for bottled water Wimbledon sponsor Evian. 2 2 In another snap, the pair — due to partner at the US Open Mixed Doubles Championship in August — laughed on court and have a clear 'spark', insiders say. World No.38 Emma set tongues wagging when she was seen cheering on Wimbledon favourite Carlos, 22, at Queen's Club earlier this month. She tried to play down rumours of a blossoming relationship at a press conference yesterday, grinning as she insisted that she and Spaniard Carlos are 'just good friends'. The pair will team up at the Billie Jean King Tennis Centre in August as they both look to add a doubles success to their US Open singles titles. SunSport exclusively revealed earlier this week that the duo's relationship goes further than the court, but Raducanu insists there's no romance. When asked about it in her pre-Wimbledon press conference, the British star said while giggling: "We're just good friends". Raducanu is , who is hot off the heels of winning the French Open earlier this month. Recalling when Alcaraz asked her to join forces, Raducanu said: "I mean, of course, I had to ask my team if they wanted me to play. "But for me, when he asked me, I was going to say yes, I just had to kind of go through the formality of asking my coach, so I didn't just make the decision." On how they became friends, Raducanu added: "I've known him for years. "And actually in Wimbledon 2021 it was like kind of the first time I started getting to know him, and I had a good run there and then also again in the US Open in 2021." Brit No.2 Katie Boulter, 28, said yesterday she feels 'safe' at Wimbledon after revealing she and her family have had death threats.
