Or if you want to embrace this bold and colorful trend just like Xenia did in this IG post – opt for designs in bright pink, green, red, lilac, or even blue. Either one of these colors will look amazing and definitely on-trend. Zara has some great options you should check out if you are interested.

2- BASIC TOPS
A basic top/ t-shirt is a great wardrobe essential. Not only does it multiplies your outfit options but it also gives a crisp and effortless feel to any outfit.
These are all year-long items. However, during summer you absolutely need them.
When buying basics you should really pay attention to the quality of the items, don’t pick the cheaper options from stores known for their bad quality. Spend a little more and opt for Zara’s basics, they have amazing quality and prices.
-How to Buy Basics
If you want to initiate your basic top collection consider 2 aspects – color and style.
First, start by buying only black and white ones. Don’t overwhelm yourself with all the colors, these 2 colors are more than enough and definitely the ones you will use more.
When it comes to style opt for the classic ones that will be a timeless piece in your wardrobe, just like the one from Maria’s IG post. This is the best way of making sure your items are always fresh and not dated.
3- JEANS
Jeans are, just like basic tops, an all-year essential. No one can go wrong with a good pair of jeans. This is probably the most versatile item you could have in your closet.
When we think about jeans for summer the ones that immediately come up to our minds are definitely the iconic – Mom Jeans or Wide- Leg. We love both styles, especially when they are in a mid-light wash just like the ones featured in the beautiful Camille IG post – Definitely the most elegant and easy to style!

If you are an avid reader of our magazine you would know our obsession with blazers. In all truth, blazers are the favorite item of clothing of everyone in the fashion community. Not only is it a very versatile piece but also instantly elevates an outfit making it classier.
This is definitely the best outwear item you could get for summer, especially if you opt for a light or linen option just like the one worn in this stunning Alexandra photo.
-How to Style your Blazer
When wearing blazers you can opt for 2 styling techniques- either you want to use it to accentuate your silhouette by pairing it with a belt for a more hourglass shape. Or you can also leave it open for a more relaxed and effortless look. Either way, you will look amazing.
Another plus about blazers is for sure the fact that an item like this one will exponentially increase your outfit options. Especially if you opt for a black or neutral piece. Definitely a basic you should have in your closet!

6- TWO-PIECE SET
Another great item for this year’s summer capsule wardrobe is definitely a two-piece set. This is probably the easiest way of making an outfit look stylish and complete without having to think about it.
Plus it is also an amazing option for traveling since you could wear it on its own or mix-match with other pieces to expand your outfit options. 10/10 is an amazing summer outfit option that you cannot go wrong with.
We love this fun set featured in Sofia’s IG post, it not only looks great, as the best summer colors but it also combines the crochet trend. If you prefer a neutral option, don’t worry you will be able to make it even more versatile and easy to style, Zara has always some stunning options.

You could opt for a neutral piece but what is the fun of it? Summer screams bold colors that enhance your tan, don’t be boring, have fun with your clothes.
