Kick your summer wardrobe into high gear before tweed and faux fur start taking over the racks. The fashion experts at Twigs recommend these five easy pieces to recaffeinate your mid-summer closet and keep you looking cool as temperatures skyrocket.
1. White Denim: Wear them cute and cropped, slip on an easy boyfriend style, or rock a pair of skinnies with a long, loose top. Pair white jeans with flat sandals for running after the kids or crank ‘em up with chunky wedges that will make your legs look extra long and lovely. Sure, they are prone to grass and gelato stains, but no big deal. They’re a breath of fresh air and, heck, they’re just jeans.
2. Bold Pops of Color: SHAZAM! Nothing says you’ve arrived like a bold, saturated pop of color… or two, or three. Show-stopping brights like poppy, coral and taxicab yellow will boost your mood and make other people smile, so wrap a hot pink scarf around your neck or toss on a cheery top in a punchy print.
3. Long, Flowy Skirts & Dresses: Picture yourself in a long, flowy dress, sipping a mojito at a W Hotel rooftop pool. Ahhh, we so deserve this. Seriously, a 70’s inspired maxi-dress has an easy elegance and versatility that’s perfect right now. Keep it airy and simple with a pair of flat, unfussy t-strap sandals for a pool party or Fourth of July barbecue, or add platforms and jewelry for a garden wedding.
4. Turquoise Jewelry; It’s hydrated copper and aluminum phosphate and it sure is pretty. Turquoise has been used as a form of adornment for thousands of years, so it’s a safe investment. Plus, it’s hotter than ever this summer and it looks sexy on sun-kissed skin. Another summer jewelry trend? Think gold, as in gold bangles, gold cuffs and gold links.
5. Crossbody bags: Not just for the safety conscious. Crossbody bags give you the freedom to hold a venti iced latte in one hand and a sparkler in the other. They have a no-fuss vibe that’s easy, laidback and stylish, just like summer should be.
