The Top 10 Things You Need In Your Closet For Summer
/Hi everyone! Now that spring has sprung and summer is just a few months away—it’s time to update your wardrobe! We asked our PJW Fashion Expert Susan Feldman, founder of In The Groove, to give us her top 10 clothing items for Spring/Summer 2021.
Here’s what she chose for us…
1. White Jeans
White jeans are my go-to bottom for spring and summer. They are easy to dress up or
down. I love this pair from J. Crew because they have a little stretch to them and provide the perfect fit!
In my opinion, you can never have too many white tees. I love this one from Everlane because it’s a little oversized which makes it feel updated, but still classic. This tee goes with everything!
These slide sandals are comfortable and neutral, so they also pair well with any outfit. Plus, you can dress them up or down (wear with jeans, a sundress, etc.). This one is also very on trend for this season with the knotted leather straps, but classic enough that it won’t go out of style.
After spending 2020 inside wearing sweatpants and pajamas, it’s time to (safely) celebrate! Why not sport some color? This Peasant Blouse comes in four fun colorful prints, and is flattering on any body type.
I love a great straw hat! Something a little bigger and a little more dramatic than a traditional panama is perfect. You’ve been in the house for over a year so put on this hat and strut a little. P.S. This hat is packable too!!!
I am always on the go during the summer, so I find it helpful to carry a bag that can fit a lot. This one from Rothy’s fits the bill. It is light and super easy to clean!
Post-pandemic, I’m adding as much color into my wardrobe as I can. I love all of the sun dresses that come out in the spring and summer. Each one is prettier than the next. Find one you love, pair with a slide sandal, and you’ve got a cute outfit.
Wedges are easier to walk in than a stiletto or narrow heel—plus you can dress these up or down depending on the occasion. This shoe will take you anywhere you want to go: brunch, a birthday party, a romantic date, you name it.
9. Caftan
A caftan like this one from Athropologie is the perfect piece to throw over a swimsuit or even a pair of jeans. Dress it up with a necklace or a hat, and you will be summer ready!
10. Lip Gloss
Last but not least, lip gloss! I love lipgloss, and it’s the perfect finishing touch on your spring or summer outfit. This tinted oil from the new clean beauty line Merit is just right. It gives you a hint of color, without taking attention away from your look.
