Okay. So. It’s summer — and the hottest part of summer. It’s only going to get hotter from here. We’re going to bet money that if you haven’t gone to a rooftop pool party yet, you’re planning to.

You’ve got your cute-as-heck bikini ready. Your wedges. Your hat. But of course, you’ve got to accessorize! Nobody’s going to the pool party looking busted.

Still, how do you know what to accessorize with? You’ve got to contend with barely wearing anything at all, the weather, and maybe water if you decide to hop in the pool. Well, have no fear! Today, we’re going to peek at some stunning pool party chic that’ll add some panache to your bikini look.

G-Shock

It can be ridiculously cute to wear a watch with a bikini. But this can be something of a loaded issue, because a watch is an accessory that can also be ridiculously dumb-looking with a bikini.

How can you tell which to wear and which to avoid? There’s a few rules of thumb: A pool party watch should have the right mix of chunkiness and feminine slenderness; it should have the right color; and it should be something that you’re not going to feel too broken-up about should you misplace it.

Check out the G-MS collection from G-Shock. The playfully chunky look of these quartz timepieces is rendered in ultra-chic rose gold tones. The solar-powered dials and water resistance adds a resilience that makes them perfect for jumping in the pool. Plus, let’s be fair: The most expensive G-MS watch is less than $300. You’re not going to break the bank with these cute watches.

Bellarri

It’s always nice to have a pair of diamond earrings to wear to a chic party. However, when you’re dealing with a summer pool party, there’s two things you need to keep in mind: First, if you get in the water, you don’t want to wear earrings that might get snagged, yanked off your ear, or worse. Second, if you’re going to be wearing a colorful bikini or accessories, you’ll want earrings that complement them.

So, check out the huggies-style earrings from designer Bellarri. First off, huggies earrings sit close to the earlobe, preventing them from swinging freely around. The accent diamonds and 18k gold are excellent bits of sparkle.

But when you add the brilliant colored gems that Bellarri uses, like blue topaz and multicolored stepped rainbows of jewels, you’ve got a radiant pair of summery earrings

Hearts on Fire

Necklaces are pretty great to add to one’s pool party aesthetic, but these events have a lot more chemicals present than you may realize: The chlorine in the pool, the chemicals in your sunscreen, and so on. It’s important to not wear rose gold jewelry or softer gemstones (like quartz, opal, peridot, tanzanite, or jade), since they can be attacked by the chemicals.

Stick to a cute, simple Hearts on Fire necklace made from 18k yellow gold, platinum, and their perfectly cut diamonds. None of those materials are particularly vulnerable to degradation, and the charming bezel-settings and delicate chains of the HOF collection necklaces are sure to make your bikini top pop!

Tacori

Fashion rings are the accessory category where you can really go crazy when planning for a pool party. There’s nothing better than stacking a whole bunch of cute rings when you’re getting ready to go lounge by the pool and sip a mimosa.

Tacori offers a tremendous assortment of whimsical fashion rings that will add light and luster to your bikini look. Of course, remember what we said before: You should think twice before bringing silver or rose gold to the pool.

If you’re looking for the right Tacori fashion ring, check out the Golden Bay collection. Other than the perfect name, Golden Bay rings boast 18k yellow gold bands, cabochon blue topaz, and a sparkle of diamonds set against curls of gold. Really gorgeous!
