So many of us are trying to gradually build a staple summer wardrobe that we can keep going back to year after year, but it can be hard to get it right sometimes. We are here to help, with top tips on the essential pieces you need build your wardrobe ready for summer. You really don’t need to spend a fortune on your wardrobe to be able to create a vast combination of stunning summer outfits.
2 Pairs of Jeans
First on our list we have two pairs of jeans. We would stick with one blue pair and one white pair in the summer to help you create lots of different combinations. You can go with your choice of style here, whether you like mom jeans, skinny jeans, flared jeans or wide legged jeans. Cinch jeans are a staple in any summer wardrobe, perfect for pairing with tanks, tees, and sandals. Just try to go for something timeless that you know you will be reaching for every summer, as well as potentially through the winter.
These jeans can then be paired with hoodies, tank tops, blazers, simple tees and so much more, making them ideal to build any outfit around.
A White Summer Dress
For cute brunch dates, cocktails with the girls or dinner by the beach, having a wonderful white summer dress in your wardrobe is a must for a chic summer outfit game. This is never going to go out of style and can easily be dressed down with trainers or up with heels. You can get creative with accessories, belts and makeup here, or keep it super simple with tan shoes, a tan bag and lots of gold layered jewellery. Go for a classic bardot style and you will be set for years to come.
3 Tank Tops
Another essential for the summer is a gorgeous tank top. With three colours on hand, you will never be stuck for choice. We’d advise investing in one black tank top, one white tank top and one in your favourite colour to add some brightness (we love green for summer). If you aren’t a big fan of tank tops, you could interchange the tank tops for t-shirts that can be styled in the same way!
Oversized White Shirt
Your summer staple wardrobe wouldn’t be complete without an oversized white shirt! The perfect outfit for evening summer drinks is a pair of mom jeans and a white oversized shirt tied at the waist with red lipstick and white trainers. This is also a great outfit for day drinking, as you can wear a white tank top underneath and then tie the shirt round the waist if you get a bit too warm. This is just one way to style your oversized shirts, as you options really are endless. This is a piece worth investing in, as it’s never going to go out of style.
Nude and Black Sandles
To break up the clothing, you need to have some great accessories on hand. It is essential that you have a classic pair of nude and black sandles in your wardrobe to go with any outfit. You can just throw sandals on and it’ll go with any of the combinations we’ve discussed!
White Trainers
Another footwear essential is a pair of white trainers. For those days when you want to dress your outfit down slightly, but aren’t sure how, try your white trainers. If you don’t want to have to wear heels, throw on your white trainers and you’ll get the ultimate smart casual look. We really love denim shorts with a white tank top, a blazer and white trainers for the dreamiest brunch outfit!
1 Blazer
Another essential to have in your wardrobe for summer evenings is a classic blazer. Choose a black, white and nude blazer in a classic fit that will never go out of style. This can be an extra layer to add to your white dress, something to dress up your jeans outfits or to pair with your shorts for a classy evening look. Timeless and sophisticated, you can never beat a good quality blazer.
2 Pairs of Shorts
Shorts are absolutely a must throughout the summer! So, invest in two pairs of shorts, preferably one oversized denim pair and one pair of tailored white shorts. Wear shorts this summer to keep cool and stylish, with a variety of lengths and styles to choose from to fit your summer wardrobe. Again, your combination options are endless by combining the tank tops and blazers. Super classy and cool for the summer, you can’t go wrong with two classic pairs of shorts on hand.
An Organic Tracksuit
Next up we have an organic tracksuit. Not only is having organic, luxury tracksuits in your wardrobe an ideal outfit on its own for those cooler summer days, but they are great transition pieces. You could pair the joggers with a tank top and oversized blazer for a stunning weekend brunch fit, or throw on a hoodie with jeans for running errands. Your options are endless when you have a good quality, cosy tracksuit on hand.
