The warmest season of the year is right around the corner - can your wardrobe take the heat? While summertime fashion should be light, carefree and fun, there are staple items that are seasonal must haves for every fashionista. Here are the 9 essentials you'll need to Step In Style for Summer.
- Summer Shades - Sunglasses are the ultimate summer accessory but finding the perfect pair to complement your signature style can be a daunting task. Save time and energy by visiting a specialty boutique like Solstice where you can try on the latest styles by various designers all under one roof. Let a sales rep hip you to the latest trends and help you find the best frames to fit your face shape.
- Classic White Dress - Nothing screams summertime quite like a crisp, white sundress. Not only is it an effortless outfit, but it can be mixed and matched so easily with all of your favorite accessories. Throw on a sunhat or top it with a blazer for an instant style shift.
- Super-Size Tote - Ideal for work, play or travel, the over-size tote is a trend sure to outlast all others. If you're looking to turn heads with a fabulous designer bag with out the fabulous designer price tag, take note! Forget about knockoffs and go with a retailer like Baghaus, which specializes in quality “designer inspired” bags that will leave you wallet in tact. You can even afford to grab a few in vibrant, playful summer colors with the money you'll save.
- Eco-Friendly Jewelry - Stylish and fun "eco-friendly jewelry" is an easy and conscious way to spice up your wardrobe this summer. Not sure where to begin? Enter Batucada. Not only will you look stunning in this breathtaking jewelry, but you'll be doing the planet a favor too.
- Diva Sun Hat - The wide brim sun hat is a summer essential for obvious reasons. No, not because you love the “who's that girl” mystique when you step on the scene (okay, we admit that's the main reason) - but the extra added bonus is good old fashioned protection from harmful UV rays. So put your diva sun hat on, protect yourself and stay effortlessly fabulous!
- Playful Pumps - Girls just wanna have fun, and a bright, vibrant pair of playful pumps will get the party started this summer. Kick and ordinary outfit into overdrive immediately. While color is the main ingredient for extra added drama, floral patterns are also great for raising the fun-o-meter. Pre-requisite? Confidence, of course.
- Super Cute Tees - Every fashionista knows the power of a quality form-fitting tee, and apparently the team over at Akademiks do too. Their latest line features super cute, quality made tees in a variety of vibrant, summer colors. Yes, the classic American tee-shirt is a year-around wardrobe essential, but summer is definitely the time to “up” your super tee game.
- Classy Clutch - The ultimate party girl accessory, a bold colored clutch bag is ideal for summer nights on the town. Dress it down with jeans and a cute blouse, or jazz it up in a cocktail dress and strappy sandals. Either way, efforteless elegance is the name of the game with a stylish underarm bag.
- Backless Bra - Perfect for sporting those backless and low back summer pieces, the Breakthrough Backless Bra from Maidenform is simply brilliant. No need to worry about slippage - this bra is expertly crafted with silicone on the wire channeling. Conforms to your natural body shape, so your secret for support is revealed only if you confess it.
