Are you in the mood for a summer wardrobe revamp?
I have always been of the opinion that to dress well – and also in a way that is always interesting and varied – it is not necessary to have a vast wardrobe.
It is better to build up over time a “set” of basic garments and accessories that suit us, our style, our colors and our physicality, to be renewed and enriched each season with a few trendy elements.
So, for this summer, I’ve been looking around a bit, both on the streets and on trips and vacations, but also using tools such as Pinterest, to figure out what really makes our looks “summery,” and more importantly current.
What garments and accessories should we focus on in your summer wardrobe, then, to optimize our fashion “investment”?
A HAT
A great hat is versatile, adapts to various styles, and in the summer protects from the merciless sun and the damage it can cause to our skin.
With a very minimal investment it is possible to equip oneself with an incredibly versatile accessory that can be used at the beach, in leisure time, but also in the city.
There are hats of the most varied shapes, suitable for everyone.
But my favorite model is undoubtedly the Fedora, preferably ecru or otherwise light-colored, with the classic dark band.
You can find a beautiful selection of styles here.
A SEQUINED GARMENT
A sequined garment or accessory, preferably in neutral, muted colors or played out in stronger metallic hues, is a true staple of any self-respecting summer.
First of all because it “ties” beautifully with the quintessential summer accessory: a delicately tanned skin. But also with a whole range of summer fabrics, from white denim to light cotton, silk and raw linen.
The simplest garment in my opinion to go for is a simple top or a slightly more opaque top, because it can be easily downplayed-for example, over a pair of boyfriend jeans or under a blazer.
ADD A FLORAL PIECE TO YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE
This season, floral motifs are really everywhere: it’s all a flourish of “botanical” print garments, in the city as well as at the beach and even in the mountains.
Tip for those who, like me, struggle a bit with these kinds of patterns: try floral prints that are spaced out by lots of solids. Or opt for a floral bottom piece (shorts, flowing pants or even a skirt) paired with a solid-colored top. The effect will immediately be more trendy and modern!
The trendy floral garment of the moment is definitely the kimono! It adds a trendy touch to every summer wardrobe.

A PAIR OF STATEMENT EARRINGS
I personally love earrings and would buy them all the time!
This year (but in general in summer) they also go giant, optical beaded monochrome, tasseled and fringed, but also metallic effect and encrusted with rhinestones.
You can find a great selection here.
A SUMMER HANDBAG
I have already talked about it extensively in this post dedicated to straw and rattan bags.
But never before have the looks been enriched by bags made of unusual materials that certainly make “summer,” such as straw, raffia, rattan and more or less lived-in canvas woven with other decidedly natural materials.

A BOHO CHIC BLOUSE
A must-have of the summer, this garment is not only very decorative and goes well with even the most understated and minimal styles.
So, for example, a pair of jeans, blue or white, or a pair of shorts is enough to make the most of it.
Moreover, it does not require much effort to accessorize because it is often already richly endowed with its own embroidery, tassels and laces, making it a perfect garment to break up many outfits and create interesting contrasts.
Its color of choice is white, but some grays or fabrics on the somewhat faded and lived-in light blue and blue also offer interesting options.
Here you can find a lot of beautiful, trendy styles:
A NICE PAIR OF SANDALS
The choice here is truly endless, not least because on a beautiful, lightly tanned, well-groomed foot just about anything looks good. Find out more about the current trends in this blog article.
From the simplest flat models to those encrusted with rhinestones to gorgeous European style canvas wedges to the most elegant models, perhaps metallic effect, a nice pair of sandals is really able to elevate even the simplest of summer looks.

A GREAT SUMMER DRESS
Patterned dresses are an all-time summer classic, but this season they are really going crazy, especially in “botanical” prints (flowers first and foremost, but not only), but also in polka dots, geometric, folk, and ethnic prints.
The important thing is that they are made of fresh, super light fabrics.
I’ve curated a small, chic selection of lovely and lightweight summer dresses:
