10 Summer Wardrobe Essentials

The other morning, I woke up craving summer. I said it aloud and an hour later, the sun was shining! Sometimes you just need to will things into fruition for them to happen. I learned, you can’t be afraid to speak what you want. And with summer so heavy on my mind, I’ve been thinking a lot about pieces I constantly reach for, over and over, to create versatile, heat-approved looks. I thought I’d share my ideal ten summer wardrobe essentials that hopefully will help you assemble yours! 

Essential #1: Floral Midi Dress

Nothing says summer quite like a throw-it-on floral midi dress. You definitely won’t have to search for long to find one either! I love throwing these on as a pick-me-up on days when I need it.

Essential #2: Leather Slides

A neutral leather slide in your wardrobe will be classic and timeless. I know I revisit them every year and when I don’t have them in my wardrobe, I end up caving and buying a new pair anyways. 

Essential #3: Slip Skirt

When temperatures surge and it’s justtoo hot for denim, I opt for a slip skirt. It feels feather-like on the skin and you can pair it with a vintage t-shirt or dress up with a milkmaid top. They are a versatile piece worth having around.

Essential #4: Vest Tank

When it comes to summer, you think white t-shirts but the tank top is making its comeback and opting for a racer style, with wider straps will feel like the chicest option here.

Essential #5: Hair Accessories

In the summer I keep a hair tie permanently fixed to my wrist, it feels so liberating to have your hair up and off your neck. And, I’ve upgraded all my ties to chic scrunchies and clips this summer.

Essential #6: Basic Swimwear

With social media ever-changing, it’s hard to pinpoint trends that are with investing in, especially when it comes to swimwear. There’s nothing like a simple bikini or one-piece that goes with everything that you can lean on for any getaway!

Essential #7: Linen Trousers

If you just can’t let go of a longer pant in summer, I find that linen trousers are a perfect alternative. They’re lightweight and effortless to throw together any look.

Essential #8: Denim Cut-offs

No summer essential list would be complete without denim cut-offs. For this season, I’m feeling the longer denim short. Not only are they insanely confortable but they have a sleek, slimming effect on the leg.

Essential #9: A Statement Bag

You could opt for a straw bag, or reach for something kitchier with more of a statement this summer. If you really are looking to play up your summer look, try adding a beaded bag with strawberries to your look!

Essential #10: Sporty Sandals

This is definitely the trendiest piece on my list but a sport, strappy sandal is so convenient, I had to include it. Your feet will thank you on the days that you opt out of wearing a tiny, crisscrossed heel.
