Sunglasses Trends for 2026

Choose the Right Chain Length The chain is everything. For an open-back look, you want a necklace long enough to be seen from behind — typically 60 to 75 cm. Too short and it disappears behind the neckline. Too long and it loses its elegance. The sweet spot is a chain that sits in the middle of the back, letting the pendant rest right at the focal point of the open back. A delicate satellite chain or a fine link chain works best — lightweight enough to drape naturally along the spine without pulling or twisting. Pick a Pendant with Presence  When it comes to open-back styling, the pendant does the talking. Since it will be seen from behind, you want something with visual interest — a baroque pearl drop, a smooth organic gold shape, a delicate wave or shell charm. Avoid anything too heavy or bulky, as it will pull the chain out of place. The best pendants for this look are minimal but considered — a single beautiful element that catches the light and draws the eye down the spine. Think of it as jewellery that your back wears, not your neck. Match Your Outfit to the Jewellery The silhouette of your outfit matters as much as the necklace itself. A deep V-back or a straight-cut open back both work beautifully — but the lower the cut, the longer the chain should be. Silk and satin fabrics let the chain move and slide naturally, creating that effortless editorial look. Linen and cotton textures provide a beautiful contrast against the fine gold chain. As for colour — ivory, cream, ecru, and white are the perfect canvas for gold. They let the jewellery breathe and catch the light without competing. The Reflex Edit for Open-Back Looks  At Reflex, we design pendants with exactly this moment in mind. Our maritime collection features delicate gold chains with organic pendants — baroque pearl drops, smooth wave charms, and minimal oval forms — all designed to drape beautifully against sun-kissed skin. Lightweight, thoughtfully made, and built for real summer life. Whether you're wearing a silk slip dress on a terrace in Positano or a backless swimsuit on a Bulgarian beach — there's a Reflex pendant made for that moment.

Why Accessories Make the Perfect Gift This Season Gift-giving season is here, and we couldn't be more excited. Whether it's a birthday, an anniversary, or just because — the right gift says everything words sometimes can't. And nothing says it quite like a piece of jewellery or a carefully chosen accessory. We think flowers are lovely, but they fade. Chocolates are sweet, but they disappear. A gold pendant, a pair of sunglasses, a handwoven bag — those stay. Those get worn, remembered, and reached for again and again. Here's how to pick the perfect accessory gift for someone you love. Before anything else, think about the person you're buying for. What do they gravitate toward? Minimal and delicate, or bold and expressive? A fine gold pendant necklace works beautifully for someone who loves understated elegance. A statement pair of sunglasses suits someone who dresses with confidence and flair. At Reflex, we design accessories for real summer life — pieces that move between beach mornings and evening dinners without missing a beat. Whatever their style, there's something in our edit that will feel like it was made for them. There's a reason gold never goes out of style. It catches the light in a way nothing else does. It warms against the skin. It works with everything — a white linen dress, a simple swimsuit, a favourite summer tee. A delicate gold pendant is one of those rare gifts that feels luxurious without being excessive. It's personal without being too intimate. It's wearable every single day. Our gold pendants are designed with the Mediterranean in mind — warm, timeless, and effortlessly beautiful. The kind of piece you reach for first and take off last. If you want to give a gift that's both beautiful and practical, sunglasses are the answer. A great pair of shades protects, elevates any outfit, and makes the person wearing them feel instantly more put-together. All Reflex sunglasses offer 100% UV400 protection — so you're giving something that looks good and does good too. Think about where they spend their summers. Beach days, terrace lunches, long drives with the windows down? There's a Reflex frame for every version of that story. The best gifts tell a story. A sun hat paired with a matching tote. A gold pendant layered with a delicate bracelet. A pair of sunglasses tucked into a handwoven beach bag. At Reflex, everything is designed to work together — so you can gift one piece, or build a whole summer look around someone you love. It's not just an accessory. It's an invitation to have the best summer of their life. Choosing an accessory as a gift is one of the most thoughtful things you can do. It shows you know their style, you want them to feel good, and you put real thought into it. Shop the Reflex edit and find the piece that feels just right.
