From concerts to beaches to rooftop bars and even the office, everywhere I look this summer, cool girls are turning their phones into crossbodies or cute little wristlets courtesy of a phone chain. Following the resurgence of bag charms and shoe charms, it was the inevitable next step of full-on millennial nostalgia.
And honestly, I'm not mad it. Phone chains are a great way to add a layer of style and functionality to your tech, especially during the summer, when you're constantly on the move. That's why I took the liberty of rounding up not one, but five cute options for under $55.
From a J.Crew beaded crossbody phone chain ($50) that one buyer says is a "fun way to wear a phone" to a Case-Mate phone charm ($20) that looks like a piece of jewelry, these five picks will zhuzh up your smartphone and come in handy more often than you might think.
