Preparing is not always easy, especially in hot months. At least that’s my experience. The heat can be hard to put too much effort into. Thankfully, there are some important pieces this season that are not ready. We’ve narrowed down to eight items that can fit seamlessly in almost any closet.
My highly curated list below features a mix of classic yet trendy discoveries, including timeless linen pieces, elevated dresses, neat skirts, refined shorts and refined sandals. I’m particularly biased towards cute kitten sandals. Scroll to discover and shop through eight important pieces that are the secret sources of incredibly chic summer outfit rotations.
Smooth sandals
I often plan clothes around my shoes, but now my attention is paid to the simple yet sophisticated sandals, especially in the heels and strap-like shapes of kittens.
