It’s shopping season! Go pick out some cute basics to have in your closet and don’t forget about these summer staples.

 

Beach Sweaters

This is called a beach fleece and it’s from Aerie. It is beyond soft but not too soft that it makes you sweat. It’s great to throw on top of a bathing suit, or tuck into a pair of shorts!

 

Slip on Shoes

Vans always come out with such cute designs for the summer. My favorite right now are the flowers on the canvas!

 

Fashion Sunglasses

These trendy lenses are so cute and tiny! Fashion sunglasses aren’t the best at blocking out the sun, but they are great for keeping your Instagram feed aesthetically pleasing during the summer.

 

Wrap dresses

OMG!!! I love outfits that are easy to throw on, especially when it’s hot and I want to be lazy. Wrap dresses look great with tennis shoes, sandals, or even wedges to make it fancier. 

 

Matching sets

Clearly, I am all about easy outfits. Matching sets make early mornings so much easier. They’re nice to throw on and still look presentable. 

 

The best style tip I have for summer is to always dress in a way that matches your style. The worst fashion mistake people can make is buying things just because a friend or an influencer has it. Buy things that you want to wear and you feel comfortable in and you’ll be in for a stylish summer.
