Style for summer with ease by updating your wardrobe with seasonal essentials. No matter your plans, these key pieces will see you through sun-filled days and warm evenings all summer long.
The Top
As the weather warms, a top can become the centrepiece of your outfit. Keep your collection of tops varied to ensure options for all occasions. For casual dressing on weekends, a classic tee with a front twist is ultra-comfy and easy to style. A bustier in a seasonal hue is perfect for drinks with girlfriends, garden parties, beach strolls and the like. As for office outfitting, opt for a lightweight, semi-sheer blouse to keep the heat at bay while maintaining a professional appeal.
Though jackets and coats may seem like a distant memory from winter wardrobe's past, having a few light summer jackets will come in handy on breezier nights. A white blazer is a versatile option — pair with denim and a cami during the day, or with matching white linen shorts and heels for evening glam. For everyday summer layering, a cropped denim jacket is ideal. Mix and match effortlessly with everything from midi dresses to linen jumpsuits. For work, add a light waterfall jacket to your favourite blouse and skirt combo.
When it comes to pants, think summer-ready fabrications and designs — linen, denim and cargo. We love cropped kick flare linen pants for sun-soaked day events and balmy nights out. Our tip? Pair with a matching crop for a bold look. White denim is perfect for styling up or down with ease, working with your heels or your sandals. Take on a structured look with utility-style cargo pants. Hint: style with a white fitted tee and white square toe heels for a chic summer ensemble.
Add feminine flair to your summer wardrobe with mini and midi skirts. Flippy mini skirts are ideal for days spent seaside and cocktail evenings with girlfriends. For a sophisticated option that will see you through from desk to dinner, a floaty midi skirt is our go-to. Look to ditsy floral prints to complement the seasonal landscape. We love accessorizing with a boater hat and crossbody bag for a relaxed look.
Sun and dresses are an unbeatable combination. No matter your preference — mini, midi or maxi — a chic summer dress is a wardrobe must-have. Experiment with floral prints, seasonal colourways and varied fabrications. Look to styles with tiered or ruffle skirts for extra summer-style points. A bonus? These designs can often be worn from occasion to occasion, working as everyday summer dresses, cocktail dresses and party dresses. Add sneakers for weekend errands or heels for formal occasions.
