I thought I would share my top five wardrobe staples that every girl needs this summer—from the head down!  Plus, updating your summer look gives you the perfect excuse to go shopping!

The summer is here and we all know what that means: sweating off your suntan lotion, sandy beaches, music festivals and as many barbeques as you can fit into your schedule.

Obviously, all of these summer fun requires the perfect wardrobe.  So, I thought I would share my top five wardrobe staples that every girl needs this summer—from the head down!  Plus, updating your summer look gives you the perfect excuse to go shopping!

Flatter Your Face

The right pair of sunglasses is definitely a summer essential. They can instantly make or break any outfit. I always think it is best to have a few options (to be honest you can never have too may pairs) to vamp up a summer look with little effort.  Not only are sunglasses a style essential, they also serve a practical function, protecting the delicate skin around your eyes from the sun.

The safest bet is to go with a timeless frame which will work with any face shape and time of year. Luckily, it isn’t too difficult to find the perfect fashion sunglasses for men and women, so your options are pretty endless.

A Plain White Tee

There really isn’t anything more versatile than a plain white tee.  You can style it with anything, from a dressy skirt to skinny jeans to shorts—making it one of the most important items in any girl’s wardrobe.

While it is ideal to have several different styles in your arsenal, I always recommend a good quality, loose fitted white V-neck tee.  Tuck it in completely, wear it loose or have just the front tucked.  They also look great knotted at the waist to show a little bit of skin, or just leave it long over some leggings with a jacket for that easygoing, casual look.

The Perfect Denim Jacket

Let’s be honest, a good denim jacket will never go out of style; if you don’t already have one in your closet, get one stat! Sometimes they can be a little on the pricey side but it’s a solid investment.  Plus, denim only gets better with wear as it softens to give that vintage vibe.

Denim jackets look good with any outfit, whether it’s over a cute maxi dress, paired with some denim jeans and boots or with that trusty plain white tee.

Flattering Jeans

We have all heard that “no one wears white after Labor Day”, but thankfully that old fable is out of style.  White jeans can be worn all year round but they’re especially great in the summertime when you want to look fresh and easy-breezy. Sure, wearing white automatically puts you at risk of stains, but just be a little more careful about where you sit and what you lean against.

The One-Piece Swimsuit

Bikinis are out and one-pieces are in! This classic bathing suit style was never really out, to be honest, but it has definitely been seeing an uprising lately due to the rise of different playful styles. One-pieces come in a wide variety of cuts, fabrics, prints and styles that can look good on every body type.   A good one-piece suit can also seriously take you far, because not only are they for fun in the sun, you can also pair them with jeans and go out on the street if they are cute enough.

Now that you have your summertime wardrobe staples, it’s time to enjoy the sun, bust out some sunscreen and get to the beach!
