Living in the South, we already know what summer looks (and feels) like — crazy hot! With that said, I wanted to share the top three closet staples that keep me sane when the temperature soars.
The first is what I like to call a “throw-on dress.” This can be a maxi, midi or anything that is comfortable, yet fashionable. The “throw-on dress” is a piece that’s easy to wear, not too tight and very versatile. I love pairing these with a cute wedge, or even a sneaker.
Some examples:
- Women’s flutter short-sleeve woven dress – Universal Thread, Target, $14
- Miranda white multi-geometric print midi dress, Lulus, $59.50
Another staple I’m never without in the summer is a great linen pant or short. This fabric is perfect for the heat; it’s even better if you get a matching set. Another plus for linen is that it’s very versatile. You can dress it up or down, play with color and easily pair it with a variety of tops.
Some examples:
- High-rise wide-leg gauze pants – Universal Thread, Target, $25
- Sail With Me rust red tie-back cropped tank top, Lulus, $39
And last, but definitely not least, a good pair of sandals is essential for your summer wardrobe. Although I love clothes, shoes have my heart. I’m already in love with all the amazing designs coming out this summer. They’re full of color, comfort and style. You’ll see that strappy sandals are making a huge comeback this season, and I’m totally here for it!
Some examples:
- Dallyn strappy-heeled sandal, Marc Fisher, $150
- Cream studded sandals, River Island, $102
