What I’ll Be Wearing this Summer

Baby tees

An essential that I believe everyone should have in their wardrobe, as they are versatile and essentially go with everything, is the perfect baby tee. It's just what you need this summer! As it’s getting hotter you may not have the energy to get up and put together a full outfit so having some staple baby tees in your summer wardrobe will come in handy.

For a couple of months now baby tees have been the number one trending topic as the reemergence of the early 2000s has popped up on the scene along with the low rise jeans trend. Baby tees have become a very popular clothing item for today's teens as it is seen everywhere from Tiktok, to Instagram, and Pinterest. They have become an essential part of the wardrobe and most definitely will become a part of mine, too, this summer.

Now, the types of baby tees that I will be wearing this summer vary from all types. Whether it's a plain, basic baby tee that is versatile and goes with any type of outfit or one that has a cool, fun, and funky graphic. It all depends on my mood and what I’m up for this summer. There isn’t a specific place that I purchase these from, however, some brands that I think make the best baby tees are Brandy Melville, With Jean, Realisation Par, and lastly Depop. If you're looking for unique baby tees I suggest going to Depop. Some of my favorite Depop sellers for these are @melimayystudios, @ramabyrachel, and lastly, @romanticblue.

Jean shorts

For spring, fall, and winter, jeans are the perfect staple. However, since the temperatures are rising it’s time to check those jeans and wear something with less coverage, therefore jean shorts. Now I know for many finding the perfect jean short is a hassle, believe me, I have been through it but I am here to put you on to the perfect jean short that has worked best for me and may also work for you as well.

Just like a flowy dress or a comfortable sandal, denim shorts are a summer essential that everyone needs in their wardrobe. And just like jeans, there are many different options available to attain the perfect denim short best fit for you.

For jean shorts I would recommend light colored wash denim since light colored clothing reflects light and dark colors absorb it. And since we are all trying to stay as cool as possible, wearing a light denim wash or color is the best way to go during this summer. Now possibly the best type of short to wear during the summer are boyshorts, as they are very comfortable and don't suffocate you! Additionally, cutoff shorts, which popularized in the 80s, are also great and can be either diy’d or thrifted depending on your preference. My favorite type of short is the knee length short, whether it's straight denim or a longline short, these to me are great for those who may not like wearing shorts and want more coverage when it comes to showing off your legs. Since it is hotter in temperature these different variations of shorts can be a lifesaver to the scorching heat.

Anything cropped such as jean shorts is the best way to stay cool while also looking stylish and pairing it with a cute oversized tee, baby tee, or a flowy blouse or dress shirt. This versatile clothing item is great for pulling an outfit together effortlessly while trying to keep cool and not overdo anything on a hot summer day.

Flowy dress shirts/Blouses

During summer it's always nice to have a flowy shirt, especially if you are out on a sunny hot day and want to be kept cool as the air is able to flow over your skin during those hot days.

Additionally, it can also serve as a great layering piece if you don't like to show that much skin during the summer time. Wearing loose fitted clothing is your best bet to keeping cool in the summer.

When wearing dress shirts during the summer it is best to keep or attain pale colors, as well as boulder patterns and prints that look great when dressed down. They can basically carry your summer look paired with anything from jeans, shorts, and even cute bikinis, if you like. This can also include oversized blouses which give room to breath as well as look good in as the overall trend of loose and baggy fit clothing is the trend of the season.

Fun floral prints

It's bright out and because of this we need some fun prints to match the sunny mood. Whether that's in tops or bottoms, floral prints are a huge staple and will never go out of style. In current fashion the hibiscus print has been very popular, however if you are not into trends then a perfect floral print can be anything ranging from sunflowers to dandelions, it’s all up to you.

Now when it comes to florals this season it is worth mentioning that the print has been seen being worn more with other prints that you may believe clash in some way however the clashing is good. The floral print is a wardrobe staple that can be worn in many different variations from blouses to flowy dresses in 70s inspired cuts. The floral print is great for those looking to make a statement with their outfit as it sets the tone for an outfit and pops out with its different bright colors and designs.This print is a major staple during the summer and it's best you have it in your wardrobe during this season.

Mini skirts

Summer is a great time to bring out the mini skirt. Over the past month or so I have spent countless hours scrolling through Depop and Poshmark searching for the perfect mini skirt that is specifically either mid rise or low rise with a short hemline that isn't too short nor revealing. There are many variations of skirts from pleated skirts, printed skirts,denim skirts, asymmetrical skirts, and the classic black mini skirt.There are a wide variety of different skirts and many different arrangements of ways you can incorporate skirts into your summer wardrobe.

Furthermore, the mini skirt has been making its return to the mainstream for the past year now with the help of the preppy look trend and the early 2000s trend. As this decade makes its return to mainstream media again you can be sure to see nostalgic pieces such as the mini skirt make its way back into our lives and our wardrobes. It's hard not to jump on this trend as mini skirts are all the craze right now and are being sold almost everywhere from retail to thrift shops.

For inspiration, you can wear a mini skirt with just about anything from knitwear to oversized blouses, dress srts, and even cute baby tees. Whatever your heart desires I am sure a mini skirt will make your fit look put together and almost effortless.

Loafers/ Sneakers

For the summer I like to have a staple shoe that can go with all of my fits regardless of anything. For me it’s been either my Converse Chuck 70s or my Reebok off white Club C 85 vintage shoes. However, you can wear many different types of shoes that go with any summer fit.

Sneakers are a great clothing piece to have in your wardrobe, especially for the summer time as it blends an outfit together and because they are very comfortable. Sneakers are versatile and despite whatever you are wearing, the shoes on your feet will complement it perfectly. As of recent, sneakers have become a huge staple in the fashion scene and practically seen everywhere, even in formal attire. While sneakers may be the best type of shoe to pair with almost anything, loafers are also the new shoe this summer.

Loafers: I know everyone is obsessed over this style of shoe as am I and I believe it's a great piece to have in your wardrobe as they are cute but also comfortable. Honestly, for me, loafers have been my go to flats as they are classic style just like Converse and the Reebok’s. Loafers are a great shoe to elevate your fit and look put together while simultaneously wearing something casual. Take Tyler the Creator for instance, lately he has been seen wearing penny loafers with pleated trousers and wool sweaters. The outfit is simple but with the pair of loafers it makes the outfit look more clean and put together as from a sneaker that would make an outfit look more casual and laid back.
