7 Summer Staples You’ll Actually Wear
It’s easy to overthink outfits and still feel like you have nothing to wear. That’s why, in summer, we like to keep it simple - focusing on versatile staples that mix and match effortlessly. Throw in a few statement pieces to elevate your look, and you’re good to go every time! To make summer dressing easy, we’re sharing seven of our ultimate wardrobe heroes for the season. Every item in this edit can be worn together or styled separately with pieces you already own. Your perfect summer wardrobe starts right here!
Oversized Sunglasses
Oversized sunglasses glasses will elevate the most basic outfit this summer. There’s never a pair too big! We love these oversized aviators from Free People.
Basic White Tank
The humble white tank will be your go-to throughout summer. It goes with everything: throw it on with denim for errands, or pair it with trousers and a necklace for an easy dinner look. If yours is looking a little tired (or you somehow still don’t own one), this is your cue to stock up. Honestly, buy two - you’ll wear them on repeat!
Black Leather Flip Flops
We all probably own a basic pair of black flip-flops - but upgrading to a leather pair is so worth it. They instantly look more polished and can take you from day to night with zero effort. This pair from H&M is a total steal - and they come in brown too!
Beaded Necklace
A beaded necklace is the easiest way to add a pop of fun to any summer outfit. Plain swimsuit? Add a beaded necklace. White tank and jeans? Beaded necklace. Linen dress? You know the drill. We’re loving this multi-coloured one from By Alona, but there are so many great options out there - Etsy is a treasure trove!
Raffia Bag
Raffia and summer go hand in hand - and this Amazon clutch is such a gem. It adds just the right touch of texture for a summer outfit! Want something bigger? Go for a raffia tote. It’s the ultimate day bag, while the clutch keeps things cute after dark. The ultimate summer accessory!
Satin Cami
You might wonder what makes a satin cami so special - it’s timeless. Find a quality one, and it’ll be a wardrobe staple for life. It’s the perfect dressy top to pair with almost anything. Heading to a beach club this summer? It works brilliantly as a chic throw-over that instantly elevates your look. We love how loose and breezy it feels in warm weather - It’s definitely a key piece in our summer wardrobe!
White Linen-Blend Trousers
No summer wardrobe is complete without a pair of white trousers. While 100% linen can be pricey, a linen blend is a great alternative. We’re big fans of a tailored cut; it instantly elevates any look. Whether you’re throwing them on over a bikini, styling with a tank, or pairing with a dressy top for evening plans, they transition seamlessly from day to dinner!
