summer colors to your closet may give you more options when styling. Pop of color is always a good idea when putting together a summer look.

Dress
Dresses during hot, summer days are an essential in any wardrobe. Material matters. Fabrics like linen and cotton are specially in demand. Breathable and natural materials make you feel cooler. Mini, midi, maxi- all options are in, it all depends on your preferences and look your are going for.

Elevated accessories
What makes a summer look more elevated? Fun summer accessories like scarves, belts, and sunglasses. Head coverings play a big role during summer. For every day errands you might want to opt for a cap. However when it comes to weekend getaway or vacation consider getting a visor or a straw hat.
Note from the founder: I love using scarves as a head covering. Different patterns add color and fun twist to a summer look.
F
Footwear
Espedrilles or sandals? The choice is yours. Although, when choosing summer shoes, you need to think about comfort. Bet on quality, practicality, and don’t be afraid to experiment with summer tones like silver and gold for an extra elevated look.

H
Hair
A simple and quick hair care routine during summer is the best routine. Nonetheless, choosing the right products for hot days is very important. Opting for products that do not weigh your hair is crucial. Also, an extra protection form UV rays is a plus. Dry shampoos are also a hit, they reduce oils and allow you to skip a wash day.

A more elevated look can be achieved by pairing leggings with an oversized button down shirt, flats, and chic sunglasses.
