Tortoiseshell Chic

Summertime brings bold, bright colors and trendy patterns. But maybe a classic look that works year-round is more your speed.

In that case, check out our tortoiseshell picks for a warm weather look that never goes out of style.

Bespectacled businesswomen can channel Anne Hathawayby donning tortoiseshell glasses for a vintage vibe.

Or shield the sun Audrey Hepburn-style with these oversized shatterproof shades from Modcloth.

This tortoiseshell watch is understated but elegant, with a bit of bling. Plus, this dome ring from Bloomingdale’s is an unexpected take on the trend. It goes with everything!

Tortoiseshell-capped flats are a comfortable office option. Pair them with a breezy neutral shirtdress or stylish separates, like a white button-down and a bold skirt.

Not a fan of blending in? A phone case in this classic design would be Jackie O-approved. Nordstrom’s bib necklace will have heads turning in and out of the office.

Throw the essentials in this clutch with a touch of tortoise and go straight from meetings to martinis.
