5 Wardrobe Essentials for Summer

Fashion trends come and go, but there are some items that every woman should always have in her wardrobe. These multi-tasking garments can help bring together a whole host of different outfits and will be your go-to pieces for the season ahead.

So, what exactly do you need in your wardrobe to see you through the summer in style?

From a simple white tee to an effortless chic denim jacket to a pair of strappy sandals, keep reading to find out the five essential items that you need to invest in as soon as possible.

1.   A white t-shirt

A classic white t-shirt or two should be in every women's wardrobe, having the ability to be paired down for the day or dressed up for the night. Plus, it looks great with the start of your summer tan.

However, suppose you are feeling a little bored with the usual round neck varieties. In that case, you may want to think about opting for a slash neck top instead. Offering a contemporary twist on a traditional white tee, this popular style suits all body shapes and will fast become a firm favourite in your wardrobe.

2.   A denim jacket

Perfect for keeping the chill at bay and for adding an extra layer of style to your outfit, the right denim jacket can transform an ordinary look into an extraordinary one. Pair with a maxi dress for a casual girls' lunch out or with a super sleek black jumpsuit for an ultra-cool party vibe.

Whether you go with a long denim jacket, a cropped style, one that features distressed denim, or even one with detailed embroidery, you can't help but look like the bee's knees when you rock one of these summer wardrobe-essentials.

3.   A pair of boyfriend jeans

Although you may have been wearing your beloved skinny jeans day in and day out over the winter months, the era of summer is here, and with it comes the arrival of more relaxed fit denim.

Synonymous with comfort, boyfriend jeans are casual, comfy, and cool and are the ideal fashion choice for relaxed summer days (and nights). Choose light, summery shades for maximum impact and pair with a white shirt, a vest top, or a lightweight hoodie.

4.   Two-strap sandals

If you tend to spend your summer in flip-flops, then it is high time that you invest in a pair of stylish and seriously sexy two-strap sandals. Offering an open style that is ideal for stopping your feet from overheating, high-heeled sandals will also help to elongate your legs, making them appear slimmer and longer.

An incredibly versatile heel, two-strap sandals can be worn with jeans, a dress, a mini skirt, a jumpsuit, and even a pair of dressy shorts.

5.   A midi skirt

Move over mini, there is a new skirt in town, and it's the oh-so-flattering and flexible midi skirt. A versatile style that has proved popular for the last few summers, a midi skirt is great for keeping you looking and feeling cool, whatever the temperature.

Plus, it can be dressed up with heels or dressed down with flats and works perfectly with a standard white tee, making it the perfect investment for your summer wardrobe.
