The Summer Jewelry Trend That's Everywhere Right Now
It may come as no surprise that this beach-inspired staple has returned to the limelight. Given the resurgence of the boho aesthetic (also beloved in the early aughts) and the updated take on mermaidcore, incorporating pretty, mesmerizing motifs like shells feels like a natural next step in the trend cycle. Of course, like any trend revival, it's received a modern update. This time around, rather than looking like a souvenir from your last vacation, seashell necklaces feel refreshingly sophisticated.
Lately, it seems that every fashion-forward girl on my feed is wearing a shell necklace—particularly in the form of a statement pendant like the heritage-worthy Petra Choker by Juju Vera or Julietta's striking Mykonos Choker. And when ELLE's fashion and market director, Alexis Wolfe, started wearing a Dezso by Sara Beltrán piece around the office, I was entranced. Consider me influenced: Those necklaces now live rent-free in my mind. The only cure? Scour the market to see what else the jewelry world has to offer—and now, I'm sharing my findings with you.
Ahead, shop the best seashell necklaces to wear from now through fall.

The Unexpected Way to Style Your Silk Scarf This Summer
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Silk scarves are the unsung heroes of summer styling, and this summer is all about styling. We're always on the hunt for ways to update our tried and true (and sometimes tired) outfit combinations. Sometimes the classic formulas we love, be it a pair of jeans and a white T-shirt or a simple cotton dress, could do with a little zhuzh. When you think of how to shake up a silk scarf, you may picture using one as a strapless top, tied around your head like a bandana (a Carrie Bradshaw go-to), or even fashioned onto a bag; however, this summer, you'd be mistaken. Yesterday, Lola Tung stepped out in New York City wearing a Coach logo-printed silk scarf, only it was tied around her waist, adding dimension to her plain white tank top and printed trousers. The Summer I Turned Pretty actress isn't alone in this trend—one glance down any cobbled street with outdoor dining in the West Village and you can immediately spot a handful of sarong-inspired scarves. Unsurprisingly, style Substacker Leandra Medine Cohen of The Cereal Aisle was eons ahead of the curve. Last August, she declared that 'a silk scarf could be the key to good summer styling.' Not only does it break up your silhouettes, hide waistlines that might not zip all the way—it brings an otherwise unexpected pop of color to simpler outfits. In short, we couldn't agree with Medine Cohen more. If you need further encouragement, consider style icon Alexa Chung, who recently wrapped a scarf over a white T-shirt and baggy jeans. Paired with loafers and a Gucci bag, the ensemble was immediately elevated. What's particularly easy about this trend is you likely don't need to buy anything at all to try it, which is what discovering your personal style is all about. But if you don't already own a silk scarf, or are looking to expand your collection, here are some that can add excitement to any summer wardrobe.

Hairstylists Say These Are the Secrets to a Bob That's as Effortless as It Looks
Every item on this page was chosen by an ELLE editor. We may earn commission on some of the items you choose to buy. Whether it's a statement-making blunt bob or a polished Italian bob, this short hairstyle is no doubt a defining look for 2025. But now that you've committed to a bob, maintaining it can feel tricky, especially if you've transitioned from having longer locks. 'The main concern is that a bob can look grown out quite quickly, so clients can end up waiting for an appointment more often,' says senior stylist Andreas Wild at Larry King, Notting Hill. He's a fan of a lived-in bob, but admits that those with fine hair can find that their bob looks heavier at the bottom without layers as it grows out. Keep reading for the four steps to maintaining a bob haircut. It's all down to preference, and hair grows at different rates for everyone, but in general, Wild recommends a trim every seven weeks. Having a good relationship with your hairstylist helps, too. 'I have clients who will send me a picture of their hair after a few weeks to ask me if they're ready to come in if they aren't sure themselves,' says Wild. Wild's best advice for keeping your bob in top form? 'Getting it cut regularly, working with your natural texture, and asking your hairdresser for advice on how to maintain it best,' shares Wild, as it's not a one-size-fits-all approach. 'Make sure you have a proper consultation, ask your stylist to analyze your face shape, talk about your lifestyle, and be honest here—to make sure your bob works for you.' As for trimming your bob at home? Just don't do it—it's not worth sacrificing a great cut! A hair oil that suits your hair type will help to hydrate the hair and keep it healthy. Wild is a fan of Larry King's Spoilt For Choice as it 'contains rosemary oil to encourage growth.' You can also try Kérastase Glaze Drops for fine hair, Olaplex No7 Bonding Oil for processed and dyed locks, and Bread Beauty Supply Hair Oil for curls. 'A great little trick if you don't want to wash your hair too much: straighten your hair instead or go over with a curling iron,' says Wild. 'It can make your bob look brand new.' That said, shorter lengths don't mean you should skimp on hair protection. If you're using heated tools, make sure to use a heat protector beforehand to avoid frying your ends, and incorporate a nourishing mask weekly to keep your strands hydrated and glossy.
