5 Summer Wardrobe Basics Every Woman Should Own

While we all love trends, no wardrobe is complete without the essential summer basics. They’re the items that you turn to in order to create almost every outfit. So, if you want to up your style game this sunny season, you need to know what they are.

5 Summer Wardrobe Basics Every Woman Should Own

1. White T-shirt

The white T-shirt may not be the most exciting piece of clothing, but it is one of the most versatile. The simple summer style can partner with nearly everything and look great. So, whether you’re rocking black pants, a patterned skirt, maxi dress or jeans, you can never go wrong with this staple piece.

Pro tip: replace your white t-shirt every season because they tend to yellow and stain over time. I’m wearing an unexpected and updated cropped, boxy cut ($30) that I absolutely love!

2. Denim Jacket

Although you don’t need a lot of outerwear in summer, a denim jacket is essential. Perfect for mornings and evenings, and for cold restaurants, the classic design will keep you feeling warm even when the temperature starts to drop. When wearing with your jeans, opt for one shade lighter or darker. Mine is by Mott & Bow ($125).

3. Updated Jeans

While skinny jeans are undoubtedly a winter essential, boyfriend or mom jean is a summer staple. Casual, comfy, and oh-so-cool, these relaxed pants project the perfect vibe for the sunny season. Just remember to opt for summery shades of blue instead of dark, wintery black. I’m obsessed with these by Mott & Bow ($118).

4. White Pumps

While you could wear flip flops and sandals all summer long, white pumps make a much more sophisticated choice. Pair them with everything from your jeans to a maxi dress or midi skirt and shirt for a look that’s simultaneously relaxed and luxurious. I’m wearing the Sarah Flint PERFECT PUMP (85mm) in white calf.

5. Chic Sunglasses

There’s no better way to finish off a stylish summer outfit than with some sleek shades. While there are plenty of styles to try, none will ever beat the ideal pair for your face shape. So, whether you rock a classic pair of aviators or look chic in a cat-eye design, embrace your personal version of the perfect sunglasses with pride. My sunnies are from Eye-Bobs ($129) and can be ordered with ‘reader lenses’. Code: TRULYMEGAN10 saves 10% off at checkout.
