The trick to a successful seasonal wardrobe is all in the basics. And when it comes to Summer, basics are what we rely on.
We’re talking white linen shirts, airy skirts and throw-on dresses – the cult faves that keep sweating to a minimum and comfort to the max.
With Summer basically upon us, we’re on the hunt for new basics to fall in-love with, and to give our style a bit of oomph.
HOW TO APPROACH BUYING YOUR BASICS:
As for buying basics, we’ve hacked it.
Buying good basics is all down to investing in the right places and being meticulous in your style choices.
Consider what your go-to outfits usually consist of and what you already have in your wardrobe. Also think about what you like to wear and what you feel good in.
This way, you’ll be sure to make choices that work with your current wardrobe and style sense, meaning last-minute and even lazy day outfits will turn out super chic and on-trend.
To make the process even more of a breeze, we’ve picked out the staple items we can’t live without this summer. (Literally. Take our kidneys, but not the linen shorts.)
A PAIR OF TRUSTY LINEN SHORTS
An absolute essential, linen shorts are a necessary summer staple. Not only are they easy to wear, but they provide ultimate moving-around/jumping-around room. If you’ve got little ones around, these will get you through somersaults in the sand and all those impromptu running races.
