Must-Have Pieces for Your Summer Wardrobe

If you’re still building up your summer wardrobe, our boutique shops and luxury fashion houses in the Oak Street District are here to help. Each season has a list of must-have pieces that you’ll want for your wardrobe. These go beyond the basics because they also vary each year as different trends emerge from top designers. This year, we’re seeing several trends emerge for those must-have pieces for your summer wardrobe.

White t-shirt. Simple and understated, the white t-shirt is a staple that you’ll want for this season. Pair it with almost anything, from black slacks to flowing, colorful skirts, and it even looks fabulous under a strappy sundress. You’ll want a few white t-shirts in your summer collection for quick, versatile outfits that showcase your personal style.

Strappy sandals. The basic, two-strap sandal is trending this year, so you’ll want several pairs in different colors for a flexible wardrobe. Piece together your outfit for the day, then choose the sandals in one of the primary colors to complete the look.

Denim shorts. The casual looks of summer demand a few pieces of denim, and this summer, we’re looking at denim shorts as the stand-out piece chosen by top designers. You’ll find that denim shorts are an essential piece for all your casual looks.

White pants. For a clean, bright summer look, white pants are a wardrobe staple this season. They pair with just about any color, so they let you mix and match your look with your favorite tops for a flattering and fun summer style.

Designer sunglasses. Of all the accessories of summer, sunglasses are one of the most important. They’re both practical and beautiful, and they come in so many designer styles that you’re always sure to find a pair to suit your look. Ask the expert fashion consultants in the Oak Street District’s boutique shops to help you choose the right designer sunglasses for your face shape.
