Summer Style Secrets Every Woman Needs to Know
1. Opt for breathable fabrics
Linen and cotton are two fabrics that are made for summer! Lightweight, breathable and moisture-wicking linen and cotton are your best bet for staying cool. Think chambray, seersucker and lace or eyelet. Another great option is silk. Silk is lightweight and it has body temperature-controlling properties, plus it just feels cool to the touch. With silk, beware of sweat. Sweat can stain silk, so consider what your outdoor activities are before wearing silk. All three of these fabrics are natural, which is what makes them breathable.
Another fabric to consider wearing in the summer is cashmere. Yes, cashmere! Though we mostly think of cashmere as a cold-weather material, cashmere is natural, it’s breathable and it has the same body temperature control properties as silk. Think of cashmere tank tops and short sleeve tees as summer wardrobe options.
2. Accessorize with bold prints
To truly make a statement with your summer wardrobe, accessorizing is key. And what better way to do so than with bold prints? Adding a patterned bag or scarf to a simple outfit can immediately elevate your look and add a touch of personality.
If you are new to bold prints, start with small prints and work your way up to bigger and bolder patterns. But most importantly, wear your print with confidence and have fun with it!
If you're like me, and you're already a fan of wearing bold prints as the base of your outfit, don't be afraid to mix and match prints, just be sure to match at least one color in your mixed prints for a cohesive look.

3. Choose versatile pieces
When it comes to building a summer wardrobe that can take you from the office to after-work drinks and even weekend getaways, versatility is key. You want pieces that can be dressed up or down and paired with different accessories to create a variety of looks. Think classic basics like a white t-shirt, a denim jacket, or a midi skirt. These items can be worn in countless ways, making them the perfect foundation for your summer wardrobe.
But versatility doesn't mean sacrificing style. Look for pieces that have unique details or interesting textures to add some personality to your outfits. A simple dress with ruched sleeves or a linen jumpsuit with a tie-waist can easily transition from day to night with the right accessories.
Choosing versatile pieces also means investing in quality items that will last beyond just one season. Opt for fabrics like cotton, linen, and silk that are breathable and durable. And don't be afraid to mix and match these pieces with trendier items to keep your wardrobe fresh and up-to-date.
4. Embrace the power of white
White is a quintessential summer color that can elevate any outfit. It's clean, crisp, and can be worn in a variety of ways, from head-to-toe white ensembles to simple white accent pieces. Embracing the power of white means being confident enough to wear it without fear of stains or looking too plain. Luckily, white pieces are easier to keep clean than you might think.
Investing in quality white items, like a white cotton or linen blouse, can elevate your summer wardrobe. These versatile pieces can be dressed up or down and paired with everything from denim shorts to a sleek pencil skirt. Don't be afraid to try a white sundress or even white pants — they can be surprisingly flattering if you find a pair that fits well.

Of course, wearing white does come with some risks. Make sure to avoid wearing white on days when you'll be around children or in messy environments. And always carry a stain-removing pen or wipes just in case.
5. Invest in comfortable footwear
Pairing your outfits with comfortable footwear is another essential step. After all, walking around in painful shoes can quickly ruin a perfectly lovely day out.
But comfortable footwear doesn't have to mean sacrificing style. Opt for sandals with soft, cushioned soles or chic sneakers that provide the support your feet need. There are plenty of stylish options out there that won't leave you with blisters or aching arches by the end of the day.
Plus, comfortable shoes can actually elevate your overall look. A pair of sleek sneakers can add a fashionable edge to a casual outfit, while a pair of elegant sandals can complement a more formal ensemble.
