Spring is here and let's be honest, it feels like summer. That's a sign that you're just in time to get your closet ready for the season. Summer brings with it soaring temperatures and intense stickiness, which makes it your duty to choose your clothing wisely and stylishly this season. That's why, these seven essentials are perfect to not only keep your summer look current, but also keep you from breaking into a sweat.
1. Wide Legged Trousers
There's a reason why wide legged trousers are so incredibly trendy at the moment. They are generally lightweight and allow for ventilation. You know what that means, right? No sticky calves and chaffed thighs. Ditch your skinny jeans for these already.
2. Miniscule Sunglasses
While massive sunglasses that shade the entire face have been in for years, this summer they are getting switched up in favour of something smaller. Mini glasses that just about cover the eye area are the hottest thing this summer and if you want to take it one step further, try it in a tinted shade.
3. Coordinated Set
In all honesty, coordinated sets are the next best thing to wearing your pajamas outside. They come in many variations - with skirts, shorts and trousers and a no-brainer when you're looking aimlessly at your closet. We'd suggest an airy printed set to tackle the summer humidity.
4. Mules
They've been the 'It Shoe' trend since the year began and by the looks of it, mules are still going strong. Whether you pick them in a heeled variation for your evening wear or a flat version with your skirts, mules are also ideal for the season because they'll allow your feet to breathe easy.
5. Mini Backpack
We all know how efficient backpacks can be, especially when you're balancing a whole lot of goodies. This season, its functionality stays the same but gets a chic touch by going smaller. An ideal choice if you don't want to cramp down your style with a bulky bag.
6. Hoop Earrings
Along with hitting you with a wave of nostalgia, hoop earrings add depth and a gypsy-esque vibe to just about any outfit your pair them with. Plus, they are a clean-cut accessory that isn't too much, even if you're a fashion minimalist. Big or small, make the hoop your own this summer.
7. Bralette
This season, the crop top is about to get a little saucy with the more shapely bralette taking its place. With just the right amount of lace, ruffles and straps, this inner wear garment is a must-have to slip into on hot days and even under a light layer if you're heading to a concert.
Which of these are you going to add to your wardrobe?
