Top Five Accessory Picks For Summer

Posted by: parker – Jun 23, 2009

We did the dirty work for you and scoped out where to find some serious RVA summer essentials.

Girls:

1. Beads
Not quite the necklace you made for mom years ago. Beaded accessories have never looked so fresh.

Need Supply Co. $14

2. Cooler
What else would ever suffice to keep your PBR’s chilled at BFD this year? Added bonus, it’s for a good cause.

Kroger $12.99

3. TOMS
Not only are they adorable but if you don’t mind getting them dirty they make perfect river shoes.

Need Supply Co. $49

4. Beach Cruiser
Ride in style, stay in shape, save the environment. There’s no reason not to be on a bike this summer.

Agee’s Bicycle $330

5. Ridiculous Shades
Not just for UVB rays. Make a statement in an outrageous pair of sunglasses.

Bygones $12 or 2 for $10

Guys:

1. Short Shorts
Stay cool and show a little leg this summer.

Need Supply Co. $62

2. Fedora
Looks like this hat isn’t going anywhere, and we’re ok with that. Snag a straw version to stay in-season.

Need Supply Co. $45

3. TOMS
Look great with short shorts (see #1) and a child who needs shoes will get a pair with every purchase.

4. A Fresh Deck
No better season to be on a skateboard.

Dominion Skate Shop $50, $100

5. A Clean Shave
90 degree weather can’t be fun with a badger on your chin.

CVS $8.79

Which part is scary?

this looks more like an advertisement for gillette and need supply than it does an article at all.

if anyone wants to get involved with the fashion section, knows of a local boutique that should be looked into, or knows of a local designer that could be interviewed for an article (and feel free to self promote) please contact us. we will be posting things for this section in various formats such as articles, interviews, and lists and including photos. we want to make great fashion in Richmond known and accessible so we will always include where people can find products. this is all just getting started, but we'd love to be posting what you want to read about in this section. in order to do that we need your feedback. please e-mail karen and/or i at:
hunter@rvamag.com

Great Photos! I totally agree with the fedora, but I think it goes for the guys or the ladies. I like the mix.

while i think it's great that rvamag is finally including a fashion section, it'd be awesome if articles such as this included more actual fashion, than two girls trying to be witty/funny.
there is so much great fashion and style in richmond, that its silly to include things like a cooler/bike/razor on a tiny list such as this. i wish you guys could have shopped around and picked out some great merch all over richmond rather than just spending 20 minutes at need supply and calling it a day.
hopefully, you can take this as some constructive criticism.
