8 Classic and Timeless Summer Styles You Can Start Shopping for Now

For those of you who have a classic and timeless style yet struggle with dressing for summer, you are about to be thrilled. I know how you feel, summer is when certain brands lean into trendier colors and patterns and it seems like finding anti-trend, elevated picks to wear during the warmer months can be difficult. After last summer being the summer of quiet luxury there have never been more examples and easy outfit formulas to copy when dressing for summer while keeping a classy, polished vibe.

While scrolling through my Instagram feed, saving simple but elevated outfit combinations to copy when I needed to look fabulous in a time crunch (which, let's be real - is almost a daily occurrence), and noticed 8 hero items that kept coming up over and over. Rather than keep these 8 items to myself I wanted to share with you the 8 items that will be the backbone of my summer wardrobe.

You can thank me later, keep scrolling to see which 8 summer items I’m eyeing for an elevated look.

Relaxed Button-Down Shirt

The seasonless staple especially comes in handy in the warmer months. Tuck yours into jeans or jean shorts, as a swim coverup, or anything in between.

White Jeans

Make the switch from darker washes as soon as summer hits.

Breezy Midi Dress

The one-piece outfit simply never fails.

Simple Bodysuit

Tanks are great and all, but I love how bodysuits ensure the perfect clean tuck.

Linen Pants

When you want to be realxed, but still polished.

Black One Piece

The swimsuit choice that screams "classic, chic."

Oval Sunglasses

Simple, chic, and goes with everything? It's a yes from me.

Striped Sweater

Throw this over a dress or tank top and shorts combo to elevate any lowkey summer look.
