If you’re anything like me, you absolutely LOVE the summer! Long nights, higher temperatures, and spending all day outside. What’s not to love?! But another reason I think it’s the best is because of the summer fashion! Wearing less and going out more is the epitome of summer, I think.
NOW is the perfect time to start shopping for all your summer fashion. School is almost up and so many of us are planning vacations, myself included. I think that the best way to find summer is to look for light and bright colors. Include some backless, low cut, and mini options and you’ll be set to mix and match with items you already have at home for any time you have a date night, brunch with the girls, or a family outing.
1. Ines Wrap Halter Neck Crop Top
Omg! So when I saw this top on Meshki’s website I knew I had to have it! It an literally can pair with anything and everything you already have in your closet. I opted for the orange color because bight colors are my fav, but literally any of the four color choices they have are great. If you have a smaller chest I recommend sizing down because it does run a bit big.
2. Kirra Raw Hem Longline Boyfriend Shorts
Another Meshki favorite! I always struggle to find shorts that complement my figure but still look cute. I first ordered the denim pair then went back and ordered the black one! I’m 5’9 and they come down to about mid thigh which is not to long or to short. You can easily dress these down for a beach day or up with heels for a dinner later on. Oh and they are at a great price!
3. Cream Co Ord Floral Jacquard Ruched Bardot Crop Top
This top might seem a little simple but it literally pairs so well with anything high waisted. It only comes in one color but you can never go wrong with white for the summer time! I suggest sizing up if you are planning to wear a bra with the top.
4. Bow Polka- Dot Top
Okay I use to shop Mango all the time when I lived in the city and they have such great options for everybody. This crop top is part of their new collection and is great to wear on those days where you want to look cute but do not want to put much effort into your outfit.
5. White Puff Sleeve Tie Back Crop Top
This is another great classic option for my conservative girls out there! It covers the décolletage area but when you turn around you get a bit of a backless action going on!
6. Blue Floral Frill Belted Shorts
These shorts are TO DIE FOR! I have literally never seen anything like them, anywhere. These are perfect for a cute daytime date with either friends or your partner. Pair with a simple white bodysuit and lace up sandals and you’re good for the rest of the day!
7. Printed Satin Top with Rhinestones
This is another top I have never seen before! Cowl neck tops have been the IT piece for the past year or so and I hope they never go out of style! This is more of a casual look, so I think the best way to wear it would be with some skinny jeans and white sneakers or heels if thats the vibe you’re going for.
8. Dress with Straps and Contrasting Tulle Trims
Another unique piece I have never seen before! This green color is everything and the silhouette of the dress is gorgeous enough to flatter any figure. I would throw this on with some white Air Force Ones and call it a day.
9. Stunning Mini Dress White
I picked up this pretty little number for my vacation next month! It’s great if you want to get dressed up but still be a bit tone down. The detailing at the collar adds a little something extra so it is not just “a simple white dress”. Definitely worth taking a look at!
10. Flamingo Dress Cobalt Blue
Another BB favorite! This screams summer vacation to me! It comes in the dark blue color and an orange shade. The ribbed material of the dress is perfect to make your body looked snatched!
11. New Rules Suit Pants Cream
If you couldn’t already tell by my other blog posts, then you know wouldn’t know that I am OBSESSED with trousers. I have so many pairs and this pair is another great option to have in your closet. Wear them to work in the morning then go out for dinner later. You will get your use out of these pants during any season!
12. Red Tory Two Piece Set
LOVE! That is all I have to say about this set. I have been a fan of JLUXLABEL for YEARS now! They never disappoint. I ordered this set for my vacation as well and with a variety of colors to choose from you are sure to find one that fits your style. Wear it for dinner with heels or sandals and a straw hat for a day look.
13. Femme Luxe Sequin Mini Skirt with Knot Detail in White
This is great for a night time celebration. The sequin adds a little a little glamour to your look that you can easily pair with anything you already have on hand.
14. Pour Moi Fuller Bust Belted Swimsuit in Black & White Animal Print
This one piece is beyond cute! I am normally not a fan of these type of swimsuits but the belt accent makes it perfect if you are going to be hanging pool side this summer.
15. Recycled Polyester Cropped Blazer
OMG was so surprised when I first caught a glimpse of this blazer. It reminds me so much of the Jacquemus Baci T-Shirt but for way less. It is a bit more dark for the summer but you can easily pair it with a white skirt or jeans and you’d look great!
16. Matching Blazer in Yellow
Another of my summer favorites! Yellow and blazers. Any pair of denim shorts will look great with this, especially on those days were it is a bit chilly and you do not want to wear something so heavy.
17. Mini Skirt with Knot Wrap Detail
I literally ordered this the minute I saw it! Mini skirts are making such a comeback this year and this is perfect to add to your wardrobe. It is casual and simple enough to wear with a plain t-shirt or on a night out with some stiletto heels.
18. Dory Linen Dress
Now Reformation has some amazing quality clothes even though they are on the more simple and casual side. This Dory dress comes in two shades and can be worn for a day out or as a wedding guest outfit. This will be part of your collection for many years guaranteed.
19. Adonis Sheer Cover Up
Matte Collection has the best affordable yet cute looking swim attire! I first ordered from them two years ago and became easily hooked. This cover up is something so unique and great to wear on vacation with your girlfriends over a black or brown bikini.
20. Taryn One Piece
This is another swim piece from the label that I plan on wearing for my vacation! The tie at the wast accentuates your waist and the low cut opening at the front takes a basic one piece to the next level!
21. Trendsetter Cotton Pocketed Babydoll Dress
If you do not own a babydoll dress, then what are you doing! These are literally the best for the summer time. The flare of the dress itself makes you feel comfortable all day long yet super cute. Perfect outfit for a day time excursion.
22. Krisha Cotton High Rise Gingham Pants
Love at first sight! I love anything gingham to be honest and these pants are giving me major Dorthy vibes. In a good way haha. Having a good pair of abstract bottoms in your closet is essential and these are perfect of everyone! Oh and they come in black and white gingham too!
23. National Mid Rise Distressed Skinny
You’re probably thinking, “Clarity, jeans? For the Summer?” And the answer is yes! Occasionally I think it is perfectly okay to wear jeans during the warmer months. The distress on these is enough to not make you feel to constricted and with the acid wash look going on it can be styled up or down.
24. Slinky Square Neck Spaghetti Strap Bodysuit
Square neck bodysuits literally are great for any girl! They give great exposure to your décolletage area and with so many colors to choose from, you are able to pick up a ton of them.
25. French Riviera Short Set
This is a three piece set that is sold separately, unfortunately, but honestly it is worth picking up! Whether you get the complete set or not, you can easily pair each item with something you already have on hand.
26. Runaway Girl Denim Overall
I am literally wearing this exact pair as I finish up this post lol. I ordered these last year after waiting a few weeks to get my hands on them! Overalls may seem a bit cliche to some but they are so cool, trust me! Wear with a cute crop top some sandals and everyone will be looking at you, for good reason!
27. Brighton Halterneck Playsuit
Zimmerman is another great brand for the summer time. Easily one of my favorite brands when I used to work in luxury. The quality is unmatched and you KNOW that this piece will last longer than you would think.
28. Off The Shoulder Ruched Shirt
Another of my favorite contemporary brands! Wang makes some great pieces and his pieces are always so popular among my friends. This top is awesome for a more business casual look or if you do not want to show as much skin.
29. Biker Shorts
Would the list even be complete without mentioning biker shorts? Probably not haha! Brandy has some of the best bikers I have ever tried, next to the SKIMS ones. At an affordable price you can pick up as many colors as you like and use them to work out or with an oversized t-shirt.
30. Avoca White top
Will crotchet ever not be a summer essential? I’ll make that answer easy and say no haha! I love this for a topical vacation, with your hair pinned up in a high pony or braid and you are good to go.
Happy shopping babes! Be sure to let me know if you loved any of the pieces on the list. I can’t wait to wear mine!
