With designers across the world turning away from trends in favour of staple pieces, there’s never been a better time to start building your forever wardrobe. While we all love trends, no wardrobe is complete without the essentials. They’re the items that you turn to in order to create almost every outfit. From a simple white t-shirt to the classic trench coat, below are the pieces that every Summer wardrobe requires.

Light Loungewear Set
Who says loungewear can’t be sophisticated? Tara Duffy looks amazing in her neutral set. In order to take your neutral look to a whole new level, play with different textures and shades of white as she does. Combining leather, silk, and cotton fabrics is a great way to add dimension to your tonal ensemble. It’s also important to consider the balance of pieces when styling a tonal look. If your look revolves around a relaxed loungewear set, pair it with a structured jacket to create a flattering silhouette.
Trench Coat
The ultimate Spring/Summer wardrobe essential. The classic trench, an outerwear icon, ready to be styled with everything from jeans and trainers to floral midi dresses. Versatile, practical, and lightweight to layer, the best trench coats are more than transitional heroes: they’ll see you through almost every situation.
Summer Dress
Occasionwear had no place in our wardrobes in 2020, however optimistic designers imagined the most incredible dresses ready for whenever rescheduled weddings and evening plans can take place again. They’re creating Summer dresses so good you might want to ditch pants forever.
Basket Bag
This Summers trending bag trend is a style that will never date. The effortless basket bag is this season’s fashion essential, especially for sunnier days. With an endless array of styles (from understated totes and clutches to ornate, patterned bags), there’s no sign that this trend is fading away anytime soon.
Light Denim
When it comes to Summer denim you definitely want to lighten up in terms of colour and fabrics. Try to get as close as you can get to white jeans without going full-on white, these light bleached denim jeans will be the perfect shade for your Summer wardrobe.
Tank Tops
Say goodbye to your traditional T-shirt, the trend this season is leaning towards tank tops. Combine it with timeless pieces such as denim, a blazer, or a well-cut suit to downplay its sportswear aesthetic for a more classic style.
