I love the summer and being out in the sun, but this heatwave has been giving extra and it is just too hot! On those too hot to handle days, it’s a good idea to have everyday summer style essentials that make getting dressed easy.
An Easy Everyday Summer Dress
Think something you can literally just throw on and go! For me that was the Skims Soft Lounge Long Slip Dress (which I own in black and white, and found a similar one from Few Moda for under $50). And yes, you read that right, was. I still love that dress but the AYR The Everywhere dress in Beach Glass Stripe has been my more recent favorite go-to summer dress. UPDATE: It looks like my AYR dress is no longer available, however, I also love this one!
Nude Flip Flops
The TKEES Lily Nudes flip flops have been one of my best buys this year. They go with everything, since they match your skin, and look more chic than your typical flip flops. The brand also has lots of other sandals that give a more elevated vibe, while still being a good simple yet versatile sandal.
Go-To Tote Bag
One brand that I love and am a long time fan of is Clare V. Getting to partner with them through the ShopMy affiliate network, was literal goals for me. Of the bags they’ve gifted me, their Sandy Tote makes not only the best beach bag, but honestly I use it far more often than I believed I would.
A Pair of Sunglasses
Sunglasses are a given, especially when the sun is shining bright! I tend to hoard them, and love a good designer pair. That said, I always have a pair from AIRE on hand. I have two that I love, the Monoceros in Vintage Tort & Sky Blue Tint and the Whirlpool Sunglasses in Black & Tan Tint. The latter pair are a fan favorite for those who are already familiar with the brand.
SPF
Aside from those I cannot recommend a good sunscreen. Not style or fashion related, I know, but no summer look should see the light of day without one. I really love the brand Vacation for it’s vintage inspired branding. Plus, it smells so good that I even bought the candle version!
