Summer Essentials: Part 1 – Clothing

In every season, there are some wardrobe basics that can make getting dressed faster and easier, especially on those days when you just don’t have the time.  The right wardrobe basics not only have great style and a flattering fit, but are in a neutral color to work effortlessly with the rest of your wardrobe and accessories.  Now that it’s officially summer, see below for my Summer Essentials wardrobe picks.  

Dresses:

looks great belted or accessorized, dressed up or dressed down…

L to R: HELMUT Helmut Lang, Banjo & Matilda, Mango

Love the dress in the summer for the simplicity of throwing on one piece of clothing.

Tanks:

great worn alone, layered or under a lightweight jacket…

L to R: T by Alexander Wang (classic tank), T by Alexander Wang (muscle jersey), Vince (drape hem)

Obsessed with these tanks.  Love them, because they are not clingy and do not ride up (my pet peeve with tanks!).

Jackets:

moto-inspired or a classic blazer…

L to R: Mango, Karl Lagerfeld, Zara

Jeans:

a flattering fit does it all…
