The Six Basic Wardrobe Essentials for Summer

If there’s ever a season to worry about your style, it’s the summer. Everyone’s out enjoying the weather and showing some skin, and you have to be prepared to fit right in. Before June rolls around this year, give your closet a good once-over, and make sure you have these six basic wardrobe essentials.

Flip Flops
Flip flops are the ideal footwear for summer. Every girl should have a pair, and more preferably a few pairs. They’re so easy to slip on and off. They’re incredibly comfortable. They don’t collect sand on the beach. What’s not to love? They’re also so versatile that you can wear them with just about anything. You can find flips flops in many different styles, from plain to stylish to dressy.

Big Sunglasses
Everyone needs to have a good pair of sunglasses, too. Don’t bother with the cheap $10 pairs, either. Splurge on yourself and buy some expensive, high-quality sunglasses, and go big. Not only does a big, classic pair of black shades make you look like a movie star, it offers superior eye protection from the harmful rays of the sun. Larger frames will protect more of the skin around your eyes which will help reduce wrinkles.

Summer Dress
During the summer, you can get the most wear out of your dresses and skirts. The weather is perfect for you to wear them any day of the week, and they make you look fun and flirty, as you should be. Finding an awesome summer dress should be one of your fashion priorities. The right dress will make you feel confident. It can be dressed up or down; it could be worn as a party dress or a bathing suit cover-up. This season floral prints and bold color blocking are very trendy.

Light Jacket
Yes, the weather is hot, but that’s during the day. Nighttime can also be steamy, but sometimes it’s a lot cooler. When you’re going out on a date or hanging outside with friends after the sun goes down, you’ll need a light jacket to keep you covered up and warm. The best jacket is one that’s a neutral color so it can match with just about anything you’re wearing underneath.

SPF 30 Moisturizer
A moisturizer with SPF 30 is a wardrobe essential because it’s the one thing you should wear all the time in the summer. When you truly care about your looks and health, you know how important it is to protect your skin from the sun, especially in the summer. Slathering on a moisturizer with SPF 30 will do the job as well as keep your skin soft and smooth.

Statement Accessory
Don’t ever forget to spice up your basic and essential wardrobe with at least one statement accessory piece. This piece will show off your personality and bold sense of style. It should be eye-catching and fun. Some good options are chunky bangle bracelets, big earrings, or a Panama hat. Statement accessories will turn heads in your direction all summer – in a very good way, of course.
