The only 5 pieces you need to add to your summer wardrobe, mama

If there’s one summer rule I live by, it’s this: Outfits must be as comfortable (and cool) as possible. I love spending time outdoors and can’t wait to start outdoor dining, but I loathe being overheated or feeling like I have to be uncomfortable to look chic.

So, I’ve pared down what’s in my closet to only pieces I really love. This means breathable fabric and versatile pieces that I can mix and match with just about anything in my wardrobe—bye-bye decision fatigue.

Here’s what’s on constant rotation in my closet:

Everlane smock dress

Dresses are on constant rotation in my closet year-round, but especially in the warmer months. Made of 100% cotton and a flattering tiered midi bottom, it has a subtle sheen that makes it so easy to dress up. Or, if you’re like me, wear it with a pair of sneakers for a walk around the park. And, it has pockets!

Rothy’s the triple band sandal

This strappy sandal will be a staple this summer. The three bands gently support your foot without being too tight, and they can be placed in the washer (in cold water) on the delicate cycle. Just lay them out to dry in the sun.

Naturalizer white sneaker

If you prefer a closed-toe shoe, or know you’ll be chasing around kiddos this summer, this is my favorite sneaker. It holds up well, can be easily wiped down and looks chic with any outfit. The cloud-like contour cushion inside the shoe makes for ultimate comfort.
