@smythsistersStyle Notes: This year, there’s a huge focus on jersey basics—specifically the racer vest top. Whether layered under shirting or worn on its own, a crisp white style will prove incredibly versatile.

@theindiaeditStyle Notes: Not only are one-pieces extremely versatile, but you can also wear yours as a top with wide-leg trousers. It could be said that they’re the most comfortable swimwear option for the summer.

@sylviemus_Style Notes: Be they heeled or flat, minimalist strappy sandals will become your go-to shoes over the next few months. I pack both for holidays and find they’re the only shoes I need.
Although high, the addition of an ankle strap and multi-crossover straps makes them easier to wear.

@francescasaffariStyle Notes: Wide-leg trousers have never been more on-trend than they are this year, and, in lightweight fabrications, they’re perfect for the summer months. Yes, they’re breezy enough for even the highest of temperatures.

@raeannlangasStyle Notes: I think we can all agree that denim cutoffs are the most timeless short option you can buy. Slip yours on over your swimsuit or wear them with a silk shirt to instantly elevate.
Denim shorts in lighter washes will look more vintage than darer washes.

@allisonhoStyle Notes: Where you're using your white shirt for weekend brunching, after dark cocktails, or a poolside cover-up, there are plenty of ways to wear this ultimate versatile piece. Bored of your jeans? Your white shirt will break you out of that rut.

@javieraStyle Notes: A jacket for the cool evenings is a must, particularly if you’re staycationing. The problem is deciphering which is the most versatile. My vote, however, goes to the staple denim jacket.
Anine Bing denim jackets always prove popular in fashion circles.

@monikhStyle Notes: The slip skirt might have started out life as a trend, but over the past few seasons it has evolved to become a timeless staple in the wardrobes of those in the know. Plus, they come in very handy in the summer months—just add one of the above top suggestions and you’re sorted.

@_jessicaskyeStyle Notes: I could talk all day about the significance of basket bags in our summer wardrobe, but I’ll leave it to Jessica Sky to demonstrate just how chic they make everything you wear look.

@symphonyofsilkStyle Notes: Linen is to summer what wool is to winter: absolutely essential. Whether you choose shirts, dresses or trousers, when temperatures peak, you’ll be glad to have a linen staple to hand.

@tylynnnguyenStyle Notes: The appeal of slip dresses is evident from the get-go. Understated but still sexy, they make for the ideal summer date-night outfit option. That said, if you want to get even more wear put of yours, try styling them with flat sandals and an oversize shirt on top.

@styleidealistStyle Notes: Mini, midi, or maxi—whatever your dress preference may be, a white dress is the ultimate summer outfit saver, no matter what the occasion (save, perhaps, for a turn as a wedding guest).

@bubblyaquariusStyle Notes: Classic, timeless and chic—Breton stripes get a summer overhaul in the form of short-sleeve tees.
These will look great with ecru or beige denim.
This T-shirt is made from a slightly thicker fabric than standard tees, making it ideal for chillier summer days on home soil.
