Let’s be real here, it’s HOT outside! When I was trying to figure out what to talk about this week, I realized that there are still a lot of people searching for those summer basics that they didn’t get around to purchasing in Spring. Whether you thought you could brave the heat with your current wardrobe and realized you needed something more, or thought you were just too late in the game to shop summer – you’re still in a good place to get those great seasonal pieces that will carry you into Fall at a steep discount!
Look no further for answers on how to build a minimalist wardrobe for summer.
I’ve compiled a list of 10 must-have wardrobe essentials for your summer checklist that feel versatile, seasonally relevant and easy to wear again and again (so you can wear it next year, too).
Each piece has been selected from JCREW’s massive summer sale.
