2. The Essential Summer Shorts

Want a pair of summer shorts that are going to stand the test of time? Try a pair of mid length and rise denim shorts such as these! Stay away from super short and ripped shorts as those come in and out of style. This classic and simple pair will always be in style and look great on everyone!

3. The Everyday Tank

During the summer, it is so important to have a high quality go-to tank. This tank will come in handy more often than you think and will be the base for almost all of your outfits during the warmer months. Opt for a style that suits your taste best, I prefer this high neck cropped option!

5. Biker Shorts

Want that chic model off duty look? The easiest way to channel your inner Princess Diana is to throw on a pair of biker shorts. The perfect shorts for wearability in summer! Wear them on a walk, in the park, out for drinks with friends, to the beach and so much more. You’ll never regret having a good pair of these in your closet.

6. The Layer Over Everything Top

Lastly, the layering top! This top will be your best friend in the summer and can help you spice up any basic outfit into a more stylized option. If neutrals are your thing, grab an oversized white button down but if you are looking for a pop of color try a green linen button down that is light and flowy — perfect in the heat!
