How to get your wardrobe summer-ready
With summer on its way, it’s time to refresh your wardrobe. It’s the perfect excuse for tidying away all those winter clothes that you won’t wear for another year and make way for the fun colours and outfits that look perfect on a hot summer’s day. But if your wardrobe is looking a little light, you might need to give it a helping hand before spring is over.
So, before the sunny season arrives, here are our top tips for getting your wardrobe summer ready.
Refresh your summer basics
One important tip is to refresh your summer basics. Certain items, like linen shirts, lightweight trousers, and breathable tops, should always be in rotation when summer comes around. You might also want to consider midi dresses, jumpsuits, and sundresses. Paired with a blouse and your choice of shoe, they can easily transition from daytime wear to an evening outing.
These types of garments are the perfect base for many different outfits, and the choice of fabric is what makes them perfect for properly enjoying the summer sun. Of course, when you replace them, we recommend going for high-quality pieces, since they can be worn year after year, without deteriorating.
Incorporate seasonal trends
If your wardrobe already has enough staples, you might just need to incorporate a few seasonal trends. This can give you the feeling of a whole new look, without actually needing to replace much at all.
For instance, some popular trends this summer include nautical stripes, pastel colours, and flowing silhouettes.
Organise and declutter
Of course, you can’t just buy new pieces for your wardrobe without removing the older pieces. Preparing for the summer season is the perfect excuse to properly organise and declutter your wardrobe.
Straight off the bat, remove any items that either don’t fit or suit your style. They’ll take up excess space that you can use for things you’ll enjoy wearing instead.
Once you’ve cleared some room, you’ll want to organise your clothes in a way that makes picking an outfit a breeze. You can split your clothes by category or colour, which can make it really easy to get dressed on a busy morning.
Accessorise for the season
Want to bring your summer style to the next level? It’s all about accessories. Oversized sunglasses and wide-brimmed hats are perfect for combining form with function.
Plus, we cannot recommend comfortable footwear enough. If you’re going on holiday, a cute, comfortable sandal can be a lifesaver, while still adding an elegant touch to a variety of outfits. Alternatively, you can opt for espadrilles if you’re planning a city break.
