Your Ultimate Summer Guide To Weekend Wardrobe Essentials

We all love to have some statement pieces in our wardrobes that reflect the current season’s trends, however, the best thing about summer are the spontaneous picnics, drinks on the terrace, a day out with friends – and to make sure we always feel fabulous and comfortable, having some summer weekend wardrobe essentials always on hand will make sure you’re ready for anything. Keeping a basic summer wardrobe with key items that you can put together to keep you cool in warm weather or layer up if things turn grey will not only make your life easier but will ensure your look is always classic and on vibe. We take a look at some of the key summer wardrobe essentials that every woman should have to hand.

The white tee

A white t-shirt always looks fresh and reflects the heat, keeping you cool. It is a winner when paired with denim and goes with just about every other colour you could pick for your basic summer wardrobe.

Dressy shorts

If you’re heading out for a bottomless brunch and simply aren’t feeling that maxi dress or floaty trouser look, dressy shorts are a lifesaver and should absolutely hold a place in your basic summer wardrobe; they are classy, cool and look fabulous with heels and a blazer for a more formal occasion.

Color shorts can be dressed up or down but are beautifully feminine for a warm summer’s day. If you want to be bold this season then keep a playsuit as one of your summer wardrobe essentials; print playsuits will take you from day to evening, from beach to restaurant and could be paired with heels or trainers but will be a versatile addition to any look.

Denim jacket

A denim jacket looks great with maxi dresses, lacy mini dresses, playsuits and shorts and also with trousers in cooler weather. You can fling it in your bag and it will work as daywear or evening wear.

In essence, we love a denim jacket and are true believers in keeping one as part of your basic summer wardrobe. If you want to keep your classics on trend then this puff shoulder denim jacket gives just a hint of this season’s fashion whilst providing you with that enduring look.

Day dresses

You didn’t think that we’d forgotten the ultimate in summer wardrobe essentials, did you? A dress is comfortable, flattering, practical, easy to wear and will keep you cool when things hot up.

We have a whole range of dresses for women for every occasion, but as a versatile, wearable staple we love to keep on standby a mini dress, as well as something with a longer line like this midi red and blue dress, perfect with strappy sandals and paired with a jacket to dress it up.

Whatever your individual look, you can’t go wrong by having a core number of summer wardrobe essentials that you can turn to throughout the season
