Summertime is about sun, warmth, vacation, and relaxation. It’s also about surviving the heat without compromising your style. That’s where summer staples come in. When you’re updating your wardrobe for summer, remember that it’s important to have a few key pieces. Check out my top summer staples from Lafayette 148 and get ready to take on the summer heat with me!
Linen
Linen is one of the most classic warm-weather fabrics. It’s light, airy, and breathable, so it’s perfect for the hottest summer days. Especially if you like staying cool but don’t always want to wear shorts or skirts, a linen maxi or linen pants are the way to go. Love this lightweight linen dress from Lafayette 148. It’s so versatile and can go with pretty much anything in your closet.
Espadrille Slides
Espadrilles are timeless shoe, but they have fallen under the radar over the past few seasons. I couldn’t be happier that they’ve made a comeback this year! Espadrilles are the perfect summer staple shoe because they’re made of light canvas that lets your feet breathe, instead of swelter in the summer heat. Grab a pair and you’ll be wearing them just as much, if not more than your classic summer sandals. These metallic ones are so comfy and are a neutral in my eye!
Light Statement Jacket
If you’re reading this and it’s 90 degrees where you are, a light jacket might sound crazy. When it comes to staples though, it’s important to have pieces that prepare your wardrobe for any situation. Chilly summer nights and cool nights by the beach are a part of summer. So, a light statement jacket (like this fun printed one) is a must-have when it comes to both style and weather preparedness!
Happy Friday!
