Though your closet might be filled with items that you have purchased probably since the day you were born, you might be ignoring which are the most wanted summer fashion essentials that someone should include in their wardrobe, sooo save some space for them or get rid of what does not fit you anymore…. No matter the trend, no matter in which of the six continents you live in, these items below are the ones to get you started for a totally up to date summer fashion look. The right clothes are not always the ones in fashion, but they might as well be the basics you’re ignoring at the back of your closet. Love them or hate them you must own them!

1. THE WHITE T-SHIRT

It might not be one of the most fashionable item, but we can find 101 ways to style it especially for the summer season. Your humble white T-shirt, graphic or plain, oversized or not can be your best friend from the early hours until a late-night drink with the girls…Style it with a floral skirt and your favourite all-stars for a chill out coffee in the morning, with an off white culotte for a nice walk in the city, with ¨dad¨ pants, a checked blazer, and your loving white sneakers or with a pair of office pants and some heels (if you are Candice Swanepoel!!).

2. DENIM SHORTS

We know you have been working out all winter like crazy and the time has come for you to show off your killer legs so denim shorts sound like the perfect choice for you to shine! If there is an ¨it¨ item for this summer and every summer since this world was created, it is denim shorts. And if you have already bought your white T-shirt (the one we just advised you to) this is the time to use it. The ¨Fashion Board¨ has voted and this season’s must have item is the bermuda jean shorts ending just above the knee. For the cooler summer nights, you can pair it with a hoodie for a more relaxed and cosier outfit.

3. WHITE SHIRT

Another versatile item that every woman must have under her procession. For this simple white shirt there are numerous styling options like with jeans, a pantsuit or a full skirt for day or night and for cold or warm seasons! So, watch out girls as this endless fashion piece is once again on the frontline of seasonal style trends. This time you will find it with puffy oversized sleeves, cut outs or off shoulder proving that a white shirt is anything but boring! Audrey Hepburn and Marlene Dietrich were wearing it so you will definitely be wearing it too.

4. BALLET SHOES

This chic and timeless piece has been coming in and out of fashion for many years now. It is the most ideal summer footwear that can be easily worn with a midi skirt, jeans, pants or a dress during any time of the day. Though they are considered to be the black sheep of the ballet family it can not be denied that this Parisian shoe style (thanks to Chanel of course) is always an influencer´s loving item. After all Alexa Chung herself supports that ballets are back in business for good..

5. THE MAXI DRESS

And last but not least:The Maxi Dress!

From bold hues, tropical prints to monochromatic and minimal ones , maxi dresses can elevate your style with zero effort! So if you have not yet added them to your shopping basket pls do so and you will be compensated!Pair them with sandals or with a pair of boots if you dare…
