This year, we’re opting for timeless, stylish yet practical pieces, perfect for a European getaway. We’re talking statement beaded necklaces, raffia basket bags, and 90s-inspired shades, just to name a few.
To save you from a frantic last-minute packing frenzy, we’ve rounded up the Euro summer accessories you should pack for your 2025 trip. You can thank us later.
