summer wardrobeDo you have a solid summer wardrobe to beat the heat?  Although summer officially started back in mid-June I feel like it had just begun for me.  I’ve been away to a winter place for a family vacation and just returned to the states last week -just in time for the LA heatwave! 

I personally don’t like the heat because it makes me feel tired, groggy, less productive and not motivated.

Every summer I have a set of clothes I wear on repeat to beat the heat.  When it comes to my summer wardrobe the less I wear the better. 

The first thing I did after returning home from vacation was cleaning out my closet in preparation for my summer wardrobe. I let go of some past seasons’ summer trends like the gladiator sandals – they are just outdated and really are a pain to put on.

From the minimal strappy sandals to beach-ready kaftans, these are my 5 must-have styles for summer.

BARELY THERE STRAPPY SANDALS

The best shoe investment I have ever purchased this year are these minimal leather strappy heels.  They are comfortable and very versatile. I can pair these heels with any items from my closet for day or night endlessly.

IT-BAG

I love to carry a no-fuss handbag in summer.  I love my crossbody bag because it is polished but not stuffy and can really tie a look together.  This season is all about the pearls.  If you want to play with this trend invest in a bag that is not so expensive and commit to wearing it for the duration of the summer. 

DENIM SHORTS

I live in denim shorts in the summertime.  They are comfortable and stylish.  ‘Nuff said!

SMOCKED DRESS

Smocked sundresses scream more summer than any other styles.  I get to parade my 10+ years tie-dye smocked every summer because this style is a classic! 

KAFTANS/CAFTANS

I didn’t start wearing kaftans until recently.  I find them very versatile and the best beach cover-up to hang out at the beach

  1. Hi Janise! I am not a fan of the heat either but living in LA and having a second home in Arizona I don’t have much choice in the summer but to grin and bear it!! I love all your choices! Denim shorts are a staple for me, especially in the AZ heat! Barbie xo 💕

      I know exactly what you mean. We have a second home in Vegas and it’s really really hot there just like Arizona 🙂
