Get BBQ Ready!

A barbeque is one event you can count on attending during the summer. At the beach, in the backyard, or on a roof deck, it’s reliably one of the more laid-back get-togethers on your social calendar. And while a casual sundress, or shorts and a T-shirt are perfectly acceptable dresswear, it doesn’t mean you shouldn’t add a little something to make your outfit pop for the occasion. Here, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite casual summer party accessories.

For Her

Made by British designer Stephen Webster, the Seven Deadly Sins Lust Pendant is a fun conversation piece. Though small, it draws the eye with the polish of its rose gold chain, and the pop of its ruby pavé lips and white diamond studs. One in a series featuring the seven deadly sins, this necklace comes with a sense of humor in a Pop Art design.

Equally playful—though admittedly not as full with as much symbolism—Ippolita’s Mini Lollipop Rings are stackable and offer just a touch of color. You can mix up an assortment of rings of your choosing and change the finger you wear them on. Pick center stones with meaning—like the birthstones of people you love—and stack.

A piece that easily dresses up and down, the Armenta Black Diamond Bar Bracelet goes to the beach and out at night. The main gold bar features black diamonds for unexpected pop that beautifully compliments the braided black cord. Gold rectangular beads finish the ends of the bracelet, which is adjustable. While this piece is subtle and elegant, its design gives it a beachy feel that’s always at ease.

For Him

A watch can offer a sense of put-togetherness to even the most casual outfit. The Tudor Heritage Ranger Watch is refined without taking itself too seriously. What’s special about Tudor is its origin story: these watches were created in 1946 by Rolex founder Hans Wildorf to offer the reliability of a Rolex at a lower price point. They were made to feel modern and functional, and inspired by men working in extreme conditions. Today, Tudor watches embody the same streamlined design and emphasis on performance.

For a sportier option, consider the G-Shock Mudman Watch. Its large size makes this watch hard to miss, its various functions on full display. Its timer will come in handy for hot-dog eating contests, its light will come in handy when the tiki torches get low. Dark colors and the camo print have a military-esque feel, while versions in pops of color like an optic white are perfect for this time of year. All variations of Casio’s G-Shock watch come with a sense of adventure.
