Summer calls for airy, comfortable, and stylish pieces that can be easily mixed and matched for everyday wear. Here is my selection of must-have items that should definitely be in your summer wardrobe:
CLOTHING
Tank tops and camisoles are the foundation of summer outfits – easy to style, feminine, and chic. High-waisted shorts are both comfortable and flattering – they beautifully highlight the waist and visually elongate the legs, making them ideal for everyday wear, summer outings, or evening gatherings.
Light maxi or midi dresses are a perfect choice for hot days, but also for evening strolls around the city or by the sea. An oversized linen shirt pairs perfectly with them – it's a versatile piece you can wear as a beach cover-up or tie up as a top with a skirt or shorts.
For me, linen pieces are among the best and most essential items for hot weather – whether it's dresses or trousers. Linen is very breathable, elegant, cool, and comfortable. If 100% linen feels too rough for you, go for blends with a lower linen content – they’ll be softer and wrinkle less. Another great choice is a satin skirt – perfect for evenings but equally suitable for everyday wear in the city or even to work. It’s elegant, yet still very comfortable.
FOOTWEAR
When it comes to footwear, I would definitely go for pieces that are not only stylish but also comfortable. Leather sandals or slides have a timeless look and are easy to pair with any summer outfit. For everyday wear, espadrilles, canvas sneakers, or the currently very popular mesh ballerinas are a perfect choice – they give your look a relaxed, summery vibe. For evenings or special occasions, I recommend minimalist heels that elevate the outfit and add a touch of sophistication.
ACCESSORIES
Essential summer accessories definitely include sunglasses – not only do they perfectly complement your outfit, but they also protect your eyes from the sun. A canvas or woven straw bag is another must-have – practical, lightweight, and adding that perfect summer vibe to your look. When it comes to jewelry, feel free to go for gold accessories for a more elegant style, but if you want something more playful, I recommend shell jewelry, colorful beads, floral motifs, or bold hair clips. Don’t be afraid to experiment a little and give your outfit a unique character.
