As the weather heats up your wardrobe shifts slightly. Some items are interchangable and can be worn during different seasons while others work best during the warmer months. When going shopping for your summer wardrobe keep these warm weather basics in mind.

SUMMER DRESS

Summer dresses are feminine dresses that come in pastels, floral prints or lace. They can be dressed up or dressed down and are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe. If you’re heading to work, add a blazer to it and if your going out for a night on the town, add a bit of glam with a pair of heels and glittery jewelry. Make your Summer dress work with your body so you can be your fun and flirtiest!

SHORTS

As the weather heats up, a pair of shorts perfect for cooling down. Whether they’re short shorts or knee length shorts, you can wear them rolled up, with a t-shirt or a simple tank top. They are a great way of showing off your legs.

BOYFRIEND JACKET

Every season the boyfriend jacket shows its head and this season isn’t any different. This is probably the most versatile piece to have in your wardrobe. It is great over almost everything: shorts, dresses, jeans and leggings. As a layering piece it will hide a multitude of flaws – using a dark jacket over a lighter color will trim off a couple of pounds making you look longer and leaner.

UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR

This look is sexy and fun. A cami, tank top or fitted blouse is the perfect piece to wear under your boyfriend jacket or alone. It allows you to layer and ensures that you are in style. You can even wear this alone but, if you are feeling too exposed feel free to play with chiffon and tulle as layering pieces.
