Build Your Perfect Summer Wardrobe With These 7 Essentials

by Aaron Kok  /   June 17, 2017

Perhaps you’re in the middle of the year and your wardrobe just doesn’t fill you with sartorial inspiration any more. Or maybe you’re looking to expand your closet’s offerings with pieces that are chic, affordable and appropriate for our tropical weather.

Whatever the case is, there’s no better time than now to get into the shopping spirit. Our perennial summer heatwave leaves little inspiration sometimes, but panic not! With these affordable staples, you’ll soon be able to look like you’ve got a live-in personal stylist at home!

Build Your Perfect Summer Wardrobe With These 7 Essentials
1. The Go-Everywhere Shirt.

The go-everywhere shirt is going to do exactly what it’s called – go everywhere with you!

Find a tunic top in a versatile print (such as florals or stripes), and you can work it in a myriad of ways. Headed to the office? Tuck it into a skirt. Want a weekend look? Wear it buttoned up with white jeans and sandals. Need to throw something on for the cinema? It’ll do the trick.

One shirt, three ways. What more could you want!

Shirt, $89.90, from Zara.

2. The Kimono Dress.

Want to go to Japan but can’t afford the tickets now? Bring Japan to you in the form of a silky kimono robe dress. Seriously speaking though, this kimono frock packs a lot of punch for its price tag.

Wear it on its own, or layer it over a ruffled blouse for a mod-Victoriana look!

Dress, $119, from Zara.

3. The Denim Midi.

It’s a wardrobe must-have for every woman, regardless of your age or lifestyle! This versatile piece works with just about everything in your closet, and we’re willing to bet on it.

If you’re headed to the office, play it like Altuzarra and throw it together with a sharp-shouldered blazer and your highest stilettos. But once you’re out the office doors, slip into a t-shirt and sneakers and rock your off-duty look with charm!

Skirt, $76.90, from Topshop.

4. The Minimalist Statement Earring.

You’ll want a pair of earrings that says “look at me” without overpowering your entire look, and the easiest way to achieve this is to get an oversized pair of drop earrings.

Avoid anything too exaggerated and stick to a minimalist, classic shape. It’ll be the best investment you make all season.

Earrings, $14, from Pomelo.

5. The Easy Elegance Sandal.

With the weather taking a turn for the highs, you’d be wise to leave all your close-toed shoes at home. Sweaty feet and leather pumps are an odour-bomb just waiting to go off, so slip into a pair of gladiator sandals instead.

Bonus points if you can find one that’s not brown, or in a dressier fabric such as satin or velvet.

Sandals, $46.90, from Dorothy Perkins.

6. The One-Piece Wonder.
image

What’s a summer without a one-piece suit? Choose one in a simple print, because – and here’s a stylist’s tip – you could wear it beyond the pool deck.

Just throw on some wide-legged pants or a skirt and keep a cotton jacket on hand, and voila, you’ve gone from sipping Bellinis by the pool to the cool respite of Orchard Road.

Swimsuit, $55.90, from Mango.

7. The "Farrah Fawcett" Jeans.
image

For when you need to look a little dressier, but you don’t want to wiggle into skinny pants or a tight dress, consider the wide-legged jeans as your next best option.

You can dress it up with a statement top and heels, and the shape will help lengthen your legs and slim your hips down.

Jeans, $59, from Warehouse.
