We found the ultimate spring layer: this super soft wrap, which has a front pull-through tab so you can secure it closed or wear it open. Garcia says it’s great for restaurants, movie theaters, airplanes and offices when the air conditioning is blasting during warmer months.

“This is one of my favorite spring layering accessories because it gives you coverage without adding bulk like a jacket,” Garcia says. “You can dress up or down — wear with everything from sweats to a dress.”

This little accessory clips right onto your purse or backpack strap and instantly turns into a hook so you can hang your bag from a table instead of putting it on the floor.

“Also love to use it in bathrooms when there’s no place to put your bag,”Garcia adds. “The brand says it holds up to 33 pounds! So it will easily hold heavier bags, totes and even backpacks, which makes it great for work bags or travel.”

Forget the days of digging through dark bags trying to find your keys, lip balm or phone. This small, rechargeable light clips inside your purse or backpack and automatically turns on when you open it, so everything inside your bag becomes instantly visible.

“It’s a simple upgrade that makes any bag far more functional, especially larger totes where things tend to disappear,” Garcia says. “Great for evenings out, travel or backpacks when you need to find something quickly.”

This might look like a sleek, modern bracelet, but it’s actually designed to hold your hair ties. Instead of having elastics digging into your wrist, they slide right onto the bracelet, so it still looks like jewelry. Garcia says it’s great for teens, athletes or really anyone who always keeps a hair tie on their wrist.

Necklaces have the power to level-up an otherwise boring outfit, but they can also be pretty finicky. This kit has a ton of hacks to make accessorizing a breeze, from magnetic layering clasps that keep multiple necklaces aligned to chain extenders and more.

“If you struggle to fasten bracelets or necklaces, whether it’s mobility issues, arthritis, or just trying to do it one-handed, it makes it so much easier,” Garcia adds.

Spring hats (like Garcia’s pick below) are back, but sweat and makeup stains can ruin them quickly. These discreet stick-in liners go inside the inner band of the hat and absorb moisture before it reaches the fabric.

“For me it’s more about protecting hats from makeup, but my husband loves wearing his broken-in hats and after a while they start to smell from sweat — this solves that,” Garcia explains. “It keeps hats cleaner, fresher and lasting much longer, and it’s such an inexpensive fix.”

When you’re out and don’t want to carry a big bag, reach for this tiny-but-mighty accessory. It magnetically snaps onto the back of your phone, holding your ID and multiple cards all in one place (plus, there’s a small opening at the bottom so you can push the cards up with your thumb, which makes them much easier to grab). Garcia says it also has RFID blocking for security and a built-in stand, which is great for watching videos or FaceTiming hands-free.

You might love big earrings, but not the way they weigh down your ears. Try sticking these clear patches on the back of your lobes before you put your earrings in. Not only will they alleviate some of the burden of heavy dangles and hoops, but they also keep your lobes from stretching or drooping.

Never struggle with the clasp of a bracelet on your own again! This helpful tool allows you to grab onto the end of your bracelet strand, so you can hold it in place while your other hand fastens the closure.

An expert we previously spoke with says she “always recommends” hair clips over hair ties. We like this option that lays flat to keep you comfortable when driving, lounging and more.

This pack of ten rings comes in gold or silver tones and offers an incredible value. Because they’re adjustable, there’s no need to stress over sizing or only wearing them on a certain finger. They’re also great for those with arthritis or anyone whose fingers tend to swell up in warmer weather.

“As we start wearing dresses and skirts again, thigh chafing becomes a real concern,” Garcia warns. “These breathable, lightweight shorts prevent chafing while staying smooth and invisible under clothes — no rolling or overheating. They make spring outfits much more comfortable for long days, travel or events.”

You never know when you might need to bag something up! From toting groceries and lunches to running errands, this smartly-designed reusable bag takes up virtually no space when not in use.

These detachable collars instantly give sweaters, sweatshirts and knits a polished, layered look without the bunching and bulk. Per the brand, they’re 100% cotton, so they’re lightweight, breathable and machine-washable.

Add some sparkle to the everyday with this classic tennis bracelet. It’s an Amazon bestseller with over 30,000 ratings and rings up at a wallet-friendly, under-$20 pricetag.

Garcia previously told us that this time- and money-saving stitch gun is used all the time for fashion segments and last-minute fixes. It places tiny stitches exactly where you want them — no sewing skills needed. The stitch is temporary and will stay in place until you snip it open, so it’s perfect for a quick hem, closing gaps between buttons on shirts or fixing a wardrobe malfunction.

On the hunt for a new travel or everyday bag? Allow us to suggest this affordable, top-rated find. Associate editor Shannon Garlin says it fits all of the essentials and helps keep her valuables protected, since it lays across her chest and allows her to be hands-free wherever her adventures take her.

If your everyday necklace could use an upgrade, we love this unique gold-plated option from Gorjana, which comes in both white and yellow gold tones. Wear it solo or pair it with a simple chain for a stylish, layered look that matches virtually everything.
