14 Jul Stylist Picks: Summer Essentials

Victoria C.

You can never go wrong with a staple denim short for summer! I have this exact pair (wearing them right now) and I’ve been able to come up with so many fun looks with them. I also love that you can cuff or un-cuff them to adjust the length.

Button-ups are a classic summer piece! I love to wear mine front tucked into a pair of denim shorts or even a pair of light wash or white jeans. You can even wear them unbuttoned over a simple tee or tank for a breezy, relaxed look. I’m a huge fan of stripes and I love that the green of this top is a little different than the typical blue and white!

Summer means weddings and I hate to be caught last minute without a fun dress to wear! I always love to keep a couple of summer dresses on hand in case a wedding or any dressier event comes up. This dress is perfect for any summer wedding indoor or out! It’s also great for vacation or just because you want to wear a pretty dress

 I love a statement skirt to brighten up your summer wardrobe. It’s easy to mix and match with basics and is sure to be an attention grabber!

I think lightweight white blouses are essential for the summertime! They keep you cool and look great paired with your favorite denim shorts.

Lightweight summer dresses are my go-to in the summer! They are easy to throw on and require little to no thought as to how to style them.

I love a pair of white jean because it’s perfect for the season and it’s so versatile, you can literally wear it with any top!

A colored sleeveless tank is essential because you can wear it casually or load on the jewelry for a simple, yet stylish look.

I never leave the house without my shades! It’s really a show stopper piece because it will elevate any look whether you’re in t-shirt and jeans or a sundress.

A white button-up blouse is one of my go-to summer essentials. Structured or relaxed, you can wear it open over a simple white tank, tucked into wide leg trousers or jeans with the sleeves rolled, or unbuttoned and tied at the waist over a slip dress.

Slip dresses can be styled casually with flat strappy sandals or cute sneakers and the aforementioned white button-up blouse or denim jacket. Elevate your slip dress with a low slung belt, block heels, and gold hoop earrings.

Gold hoops are a classic, timeless accessory that polishes a simple sundress or jeans and tank. They can be worn every day and every season!
