Summer extras
Summer time! The summer season is from June 21 to September 21. When we think of summer we think of relaxing in the sun, watermelon and peaches, lemonade, barbecues and picnics, and long days of sizzling temperatures. 🍉 A time of the warmest weather and the tiniest clothes, summer may also be the easiest time to dress of the whole year! That’s because you don’t need to layer or wear much for the most part. The heat really is made more bearable with the correct clothing which makes you feel lighter and more breezy. Read on for the best extra accessories for your summer wardrobe. These are the top styles we recommend but you may or may not want to include all of them in your wardrobe. Use what best suits you and your unique style!
Summer extras essentials checklist:

Straw hat:
A straw hat can go with just about any summer outfit! Straw hats keep your head ventilated while protecting you from the sun’s harsh rays. They look really stylish whether you are going to a picnic, the beach, shopping, or having a lunch date! A straw hat is a summer wardrobe essential for sure. See more ways to wear hats here.
Shop straw hats at J.Crew, Anthropologie, and Nordstrom.
Lace bralette:
Lacy bralettes are incredibly useful in the warm months! Add a subtle hint of lace to your outfit with one of these gorgeous bras. Great in classic colors like black or white, you can layer a lace bralette under sheer tops, dresses, tailored blazers and vests!
Look for lace bralettes at Free People, Gap, and Victoria’s Secret.
Convertible strapless bra:
With all the lovely shoulder-baring tops you’re likely to be wearing all summer, you are going to want a convertible strapless bra! Find one that is comfortable (enough) to wear under strapless dresses, off-the-shoulder tops, tank tops and halter tops. If you have only one, get it in a nude color for maximum versatility. If you have two, get one in nude and one in black.
Find convertible strapless bras at Victoria’s Secret, Nordstrom, and Bloomingdale’s.
Bathing suit:
A great bathing suit is a summer necessity, of course! It is wise to have a versatile one that can go-anywhere, in a color such as white, black or navy. These neutral colors go with tons of other colorful summer clothes and accessories in your wardrobe! Make sure your swimsuit is well-fitting and flattering and choose either a one- or two-piece.
Get cute bathing suits at Loft, J.Crew, and Urban Outfitters.
