It is time to start thinking about your summer wardrobe staples because the world has opened up, the sun is out, and it might be time to ditch the pandemic sweatpants.
It can be difficult to find clothing that makes you feel comfortable and stylish when you are overwhelmed by the scolding summer heat.
So here are seven summer wardrobe essentials that will keep you looking stylish on any day.
Seven summer wardrobe staples you need
Oversized button-up shirts
You can create more than three different outfits with an oversized button-up shirt, that is how versatile it is.
For a casual look, you can pair it with denim shorts, boyfriend jeans, tailored pants, and flat summer shoes, which could be a sneaker or sandals. Keeping it unbuttoned and untucked gives you a casual day look, and tucking it in and switching out the flat shoes for heels transforms the out outfit into a night look.
Denim shorts
On those hot summer days when you want to show your legs, denim shorts are the perfect way to be stylish and comfortable at the same time. They go with sneakers, sandals, boots and heels, meaning they are another versatile summer essential that can be switched up with different accessories.
Relaxed jeans
One thing the pandemic has taught is that comfort is key. Pairing your relaxed jeans with a tank top or t-shirt, gold accessories and a shoe of your choice will instantly give you a lux but comfortable look.
Denim jacket
For the summer, a denim jacket can seem unnecessary, but on those chilly summer mornings and evenings, it can be thrown over any outfit without taking away from it.
White sneakers
White sneakers are a staple for any season. You can pair them with any style of jeans, pants or shorts, and for those occasional dresses that you save to wear with heels, white sneakers are the perfect shoe to dress those down to fit any casual occasion.
Slides
On those hot summer days when you do not want to find yourself in socks and sneakers, putting on slides with a dress immediately gives you all the summer vibes.
Statement blazer
Having a bright statement coloured blazer over a pair of jeans, a skirt or a dress is an easy-chic solution for the summer. Gone are the days when blazers were only worn in offices and formal settings. Today we see them styled with sweat pants and hoodies and those contrasting elements can elevate any outfit that feels boring.
