Summer Wardrobe Essentials
Summer is in full swing in NY, and I am here for it! I thought I would share my summer wardrobe essentials with you today. These pieces are what I consider to be the building blocks of my summer wardrobe. Think of it as a mini capsule wardrobe starter kit! Many of the items you will likely recognize since I wear them all constantly. They are the most comfortable pieces in my wardrobe, and most are very affordable!
My Summer Wardrobe Essentials
1 | t shirt dress – I love this 100% cotton tank dress from Target. They have several great options in many different styles! These types of dresses are my go to in the summer.
2 | aviator sunglasses – I recently picked up this pair, they are very affordable and great quality!
3 |neutral bralette – a lace detailed bralette is a really easy way to elevate a summer dress, tank, or romper. It gives it a little something extra! I love this one from free people, and will link my other favorites as well.
4 |wedge or platform sandal – these are a more dressy option, but still comfortable. They are great to wear with sundresses, or pair them with some white denim and a fun tank for a night out.
5 | straw bag – I purchased this one from amazon last year! Be careful when purchasing items from amazon sellers, as they are not the best quality. This one has held up really nicely for me and is under $30
6 | denimshorts – a classic summer must have! It has taken me actual YEARS to find a pair I love and I finally found the winner. I have shared these a ton before. They are great quality, high rise, and not too short. They are more of a rigid denim, so I would recommend sizing up one.
7 | white basic tank – this top was also a part of my spring capsule. It is a great layering piece, and I love how breathable it is.
8 | sundress – I love these simple cami/tank top sundresses. They can be worn casually, as swim cover ups, or dress them up with wedges. I am all about the versatility!
9 | drawstring short – I highly recommend a comfy drawstring or linen short for your summer wardrobe. Wear them with the white basic tank, or dress them up with a blouse or cami.
10 | neutral bag – this bag has quickly become an essential for me. I purchased it before I shared my spring capsule, and I have basically ignored all my other handbags since. It is a bit of a splurge, but it is real leather and will last you years!
11 | neutral sandal – I have been loving these designer dupe sandals this summer. I purchased them last year, and they have held up very well! They come in several color options. I would go up a half size.
Do you have any specific items in your summer wardrobe that you consider essential? I would love to hear what they are in the comments!
