When it comes to summer dressing, our options tend to get a little more limited. If you want to beat the heat, less is more in terms of clothing! Which can make it difficult to express your personal style at times. If summer fashion leaves you feeling uninspired, you’re not alone! But with a little creativity and some key wardrobe essentials on hand, you can look stylish all summer long!

Upgrade your summer style with these essentials:

Linen Everything

Linen is the ultimate summer dressing hack. You can wear any silhouette, whether it be pants, skirts, tops, or even blazers. If it’s made out of linen, it instantly feels more lightweight and breathable.

Summer Dresses

Wearing any style of summer dress will instantly make you look put-together and stylish without any thought or effort. It’s an entire outfit, all in one garment! Choose the print/colour/shape that best suits your personal style, as the options are endless.

Straw Hats

Accessories are what really put a summer outfit together. When layering isn’t a practical option, turn to summery accessories to add some extra interest to your look! Straw hats are huge right now, and they can be styled with so many different outfits.

Belts 

Belts are the moment. Having a few different style belt options on rotation can instantly elevate any summer outfit. They can be worn with skirts, pants, and dresses, adding an extra layer of dimension to an otherwise simple look.

Sandals

It might go without saying, but sandals are the ultimate summer essential! Your shoe choice can not only make or break your outfit, but also be a main factor in dressing appropriately for the weather. Wearing a pair of strappy sandals on a hot summer day instead of sneakers will make a huge difference in beating the heat. Plus, the right pair of sandals can be so stylish!

Chic Sunglasses

One of the best things about sunglasses is that they are low-effort and high-impact. They simultaneously protect your eyes while making you look ultra chic while doing so! Sunglasses are also a great way to add a splash of colour if you so please.
