Fashion is one of the greatest forms of self-expression that we engage in on a daily basis. It gives us the chance to showcase who we are to others and feel more confident in who we are.
If you’re someone who wants to look and feel good in the coming months, you’re going to need to stock your closet with some summer wardrobe essentials that will make you feel both trendy and unique. Here, we’re going to talk about what some of these awesome outfits are, so read on to boost your style and confidence.
Strappy Sandals
Sandals are a summer essential. There’s no other way to go out without your feet getting hot, sweaty, and uncomfortable. Luckily, sandals come in many different colors and styles, so you don’t need to worry about finding something that matches the rest of your wardrobe.
Sandals featuring a lot of straps are extremely en vogue right now. You’ll want something that covers most of your foot with thin straps. Lots of people also like to get strappy shoes that have a flower or square adornment on the top of the foot to be more eye-catching and unique.
You also might like to get sandal wedges for events where you want to look less casual. These comfortable shoes have high platforms that pad your feet for maximum comfort. They also make you taller and more elegant, which is a plus for women who want to appear more authoritative at professional functions this summer.
Delightful Dresses
What would summer be without adorable dresses? Nothing. That’s why you’re going to want to invest in some of the best sundresses on the market.
The best summer dresses either are cut right above or right below the knee. Polka dots are extremely cute when used on these dresses. Yellow’s a great color to wear because it’s sunny, bright, and gives off positive vibes. Pair your yellow dress with some pastel-blue sandals and a matching hat for a complementary color scheme that’s sure to turn heads.
Maxi dresses- those that go down to your ankles- are also super trendy this summer. This is especially the case for those with cut-out backs that show a bit of skin. Cut-out maxi dresses are perfect for the nights that you want to look beautiful on first dates or when you’re off partying with the girls.
Superb Shorts
Don’t feel like wearing a dress every day? That’s totally fair. You’re going to want to pair a classic tee with some shorts that make you look casually cute.
High-waisted shorts are one of your best options here. You can tuck a loose-fitting unicolor bluse into high-waisted denim to make yourself look like a walking daydream. You also can pair this outfit with a long necklace (think stomach-length) to draw together the look.
Pastel shorts are also a great twist on classic denim. You can get pink, blue, and yellow denim in light shades and pair them with complementary pastel blouses. Pastels also look good when paired with black, so try out these different options and see which you prefer.
Rad Rompers
Rompers are one-piece outfits that have a shirt and attached shorts, and while this may sound like the adult equivalent of a onesie, they’re actually awesome. Wearing a romper is similar to wearing a dress in that they’re a single garment that covers your whole body, but they give you a freedom of movement that dresses don’t. This makes them perfect for picnics, events where you’ll be walking a lot, and, of course, clubbing.
You can also put a little belt around your waist to make your romper look as awesome as possible. Thin plastic or thick elastic straps bring a bit of spice to your romper look. Strap the belt more loosely around your waist for a casual look or tighten it to accentuate your curves.
Cool Cardigans
Taylor Swift didn’t create the ‘cardigan’ trend, but she definitely helped to shine a new light on these cute garments and bring the trend back into our lives. Thanks, Taylor!
While summer is a time for long days and short clothes, it can get a little chilly when the sun starts to set. That’s where cardigans come in. You can carry them around in your purse (or tied around your waist) until day turns to dusk. You don’t need to worry about wearing something too hot and overheating during the day, but the option will still be there for later.
Long cardigans look great if you’re wearing short shorts. They give you a sophisticated yet casual look, so invest in something that goes down to your thighs and wear it with your favorite tiny shorts.
Amazing Accessories
Of course, no outfit would be complete without some accessories that tie everything together. First, you’ll want to get some shades that make you scream, ‘I love these circle sunglasses by Goodr‘! There are tons of sunglasses varieties here with lenses in multiple colors, so you can choose the perfect one to match with the rest of you outfit and keep your eyes protected.
You’ll also going to need a scrunchie to keep your hair back. These expressive hair accessories are coming back in 2021 as a super popular way to spice up any outfit. Since tying back long hair in a fun and stylish way is essential for hot summer days, you need to invest in a multicolored or patterned scrunchie.
Finally, no outfit would be complete without jewelry. Try wearing some big bangle bracelets on one wrist and a single earring on the other side of your body. Asymmetry is in this year, as are charm bracelets that showcase your initials, birthstone, and charms that represent your favorite hobbies.
