ESSENTIALS | SUMMER WARDROBE ESSENTIALS


The weather has been wonderful earlier this week. That got me really excited for actual warm, summer weather. This post is very long overdue. In my post that I mentioned earlier this week , I already talked about me not feeling very inspired lately. However, I recently found my mojo back. I bought some clothes, and now feel very inspired to create lots of content again. This post is one of those seasonal posts that always come and make an appearance.

I am very late with this season’s wardrobe essentials post, but I am very excited to finally share my concrete wardrobe style essentials with you. Now that I waited this long, and basically made a curated list of this season’s wardrobe essentials.


Because I have quite a minimal style, that I like to stick to, I usually have a few items that come back every year. So this is no different.

Graphic Tee’s


The first essential in my 2017 summer wardrobe essentials post are graphic tees. I always mention graphic tees in my essential posts, as I feel like they are so easy to style. Graphic tees are really easy to dress up with a leather skirt or a fancy midi skirt (like I wore in this outfit). Or dress it down and add a leather jacket to your outfit.

I feel like a lot of high street stores are doing graphic tees lately. H&M and MissGuided probably do my favourite graphic tees. H&M do really good band tees and MissGuided do some really cool band inspired graphic tees. I recently got myself this Girl Gang tee by Boohoo, which is really cute too!

Striped tops


If I don’t mention stripes in at least one summer wardrobe essentials post, am I really alive? I don’t know. Stripes are such an essential in my wardrobe. I can’t live without anything striped in my wardrobe. Whether I am talking about striped shirts or striped tees. I love both. This season I have been loving the striped back bow shirts. I wore one in this outfit post. It makes the whole outfit a bit more special and looks very cute too.

ZARA, Mango and H&M usually do my absolute favourite striped tops and shirts. If you are looking for a basic striped tee, then keep reading because those are mentioned in my ‘The basics’ section.

Patterns



Who would have thought that I would add patterns into my wardrobe? And do I see some colour in this essentials post too? Who am I? What is going on? I am never one to really wear patterns, but I am sold. We already know that I love stripes. But I love prints and patterns. Dots, stars, even the flower print is a big love for me. I already owned a few things patterned, such as the dot blouse by H&M Trend. I have had this blouse for about four years now. But there are a few other items that I recently got my hands on, such as this star printed dress is by Boohoo and this gorgeous flower print dress by H&M.

Wide Leg trousers/Culottes


There's always that one type of clothing item that I am always trying to get to work. And now I think I finally found a way to work the wide leg trousers with my length, or the lack of it. I definitely have been loving wide leg trousers lately, and I find that I finally found the style that looks good on me. I guess these are still kind of culottes too, but I also would like to mention a pair of flared trousers from Topshop. I might actually do a whole post on 'how to style wide leg trousers/culottes' soon, if that would be something that you're interested in.

Anyway, I am a big lover of black, so at this moment I only really own quite a few pairs of black wide leg trousers. The ones I currently own are from ZARA, Primark and Topshop. I would also really like to get my hands on a pair of white wide leg trousers, as I think that this colour would be great for the summer time. So while I'm still on the hunt for a pair of white wide leg trousers, and these ASOS ones are high on the current wishlist!

The Basics

I love my basics. Especially during the summer. I divided my 'the basics' selection into two seperate sections.

Denim Shorts


I love denim shorts during the summer. They're such a classic, easy to throw on pair of bottoms during the summer time. Denim shorts, black denim shorts, ripped denim shorts, you name them, I love them. Denim shorts always look so effortless. They are such an easy item to style. I usually get mine in stores such as H&M, ZARA, Mango, Bershka and Stradivarius. 

Basic tee’s


Just as much as I love throwing on denim shorts on during the summer, I love wearing basic tee's during the summer season. It's easy to throw on, and can be dressed down so easily. I honestly don't think I have to explain why basics are such an wardrobe essential, as I assume that everyone loves basics and has them in their wardrobe. The basics are needed to start up your wardrobe. My 'basic tee's' collection consists of white, black and grey t-shirts.

  1. I love this! Also - hello from America! - I'm visiting a bunch of countries in Europe (Belgium, Germany, maybe the Netherlands?) this summer and it's comforting to see that Europeans wear denim shorts as well. I was worried that I would really stand out as a tourist if I wore denim.
