Sunshine, sandals, and sundresses all summer! Is anyone else excited about summer?! I just finished adding some pieces to my summer capsule wardrobe. I’m excited to share my summer must haves with you. Treating myself to a new wardrobe every summer is a form of self care. It makes me feel good to refresh my wardrobe for the summer. I consider myself a bit of a minimalist when it comes to my wardrobe. I prefer to carefully select pieces of clothing, shoes, and accessories that I can wear in a variety of different ways. This makes deciding on an outfit fun and easy for me. So here are my top 10 style tips for the summer!
Straw Hats
Wearing a straw hat always gives me a vacation vibe and I love that. A straw hat is a must have for your summer wardrobe. I receive so many compliments when I’m out and I have on my straw hat styled with some mom jeans and an oversized white blouse! The benefit of adding a straw hat to your summer wardrobe is that it can be styled to dress up or styled to be more of a casual look.
Minimal Jewelry
I live by the quote “more is less.” Here in Virginia, temperatures can get very hot in the summer! So I prefer to have minimal jewelry. A minimal piece of jewelry can be the perfect addition to all your summer outfits. I have a set of styled gold jewelry and a set of styled silver jewelry. I love Stella & Dot for the classic bangles and necklaces.
Neutral Nail Color Designs
There’s something classy about neutral color nail designs, paired with gold or silver rings. I typically get my nails done 1x a month with dip because it lasts for about a month. I always make sure my nails stand out, but I also want to make sure my nails match all my outfits. So I opt for neutral nail colors with a neutral design. You should try it over the summer. Tag me on Instagram with all your neutral nail inspired designs.
Puffy Sleeves
The puffy sleeve trend is one trend that I see being around for a long time. I have several puffy sleeve tops and dresses. H&M is one of my favorite places to shop and they have a large sectional of puffy sleeve tops and dresses that I’m sure you will love!
Mom Jeans
Once you find your favorite pair of mom jeans, buy 3 of the same pair! I recently found a pair of cropped straight leg mom jeans from H&M and I fell in love with how they fit me. I love mom jeans because they are the perfect fit for the summer. Mom jeans can show off all your curves and they are very comfortable.
Two Piece Matching Set
When I see a two piece matching set, I get so excited because you can easily style the two piece set multiple ways. If you have any vacations planned, I suggest you check out H&M for some of their beautiful floral print two piece matching sets.
The Crossbody Bag
The crossbody bag can easily go with all your summer outfits. Whether you’re dressed up or dressed down, the crossbody bag will be the perfect match! I love crossbody bags because they are lightweight. Also, in the summer, I try to reduce the amount of items in my bag so I don’t have to carry around a lot. So the crossbody bags are perfect for my wallet, lip gloss, a mini lotion, and my phone!
Patterned Hair Scarfs
In the summer, the last thing I want to worry about is my hair in all the heat. I typically opt for some type of protective style like box braids or a high bun throughout the summer. So adding a patterned hair scarf is a great way to keep your hair protected throughout the summer heat. It’s also the perfect added hair accessory!
The Oversized White Blouse
The oversized white blouse is such a comfy fit in the summer. I love to wear my oversized white blouse with biker shorts! Add that straw hat and some minimal jewelry and you have the perfect summer fit!
