6 Must-Have Essentials for the Summer
Timeless, easy-to-wear mix & match basics that are the foundation for your wardrobe.
You are bored with your wardrobe and it’s been a while since you have shopped.
But, where do you go now that there are less stores and so little inventory?
Trends are fun, but you must always think about your wardrobe foundation first.
What should you buy? Where should you go?
My goal as a personal stylist is to share my expertise, knowledge and beliefs on what to spend more on and what not to… also known as the hi/low of price points of the season’s essentials.
I love finding pieces that look expensive, without the high price tag to elevate your wardrobe and style, but I also appreciate choices of what and where to spend on. Remember, what to purchase to add to and elevate your wardrobe begins with assessing what you really need.
Add these 6 Summer Must-Haves to your Wardrobe
1. Denim Jackets
Blue, white or both! You can not go wrong.They are great for everything! From day to evening, dresses to pants & tees. Short, longer, fringed at the bottom, basic or with rips & tears.. No matter your style…
2. White t-shirts
Basic but crucial! Talk about versatility! They work from pairing w/ black work pants to maxi skirts and are always great with jeans.
3. Sandals
Strappy, comfortable and seasonal fun. Stylish for some businesses, however always an elevated casual look. Pick your heel height; from flat to 4” it doesn’t matter. Add a summer pedi and you are good to go!
4. White Pants
What a delightful change from our everyday black pants go-to! Whether straight leg, gauze, denim, wide legged or cropped… pair with everything and anything.
What makes white pants work for you is selecting the right style for your body type.
5. Tote bags
Cotton, straw or canvas, Grab your necessities and make this your summer go-to.
6. Straw hats

Perfect for the beach, pool or your everyday walk around town.
Remember, whether a minimalist or a fashionista, we need to wear what suits us best.
I hear over and over that most of us don’t want to keep adding to the landfills and no longer feel the need for tons of clothing that will sit in the closet . So, shop smart, know your best styles and colors, have some fun with a few summer trends!
But always remember you must always start with the wardrobe basics.
