One of my favorite things about the changing seasons is how they inspire a wardrobe refresh – and summer is, without question, my favorite. There’s something about summer dressing that feels like a reset: lighter fabrics, flattering silhouettes, fewer layers, and pieces that make getting dressed feel effortless and fun.

Right now, I’m fully in warm-weather mode, gravitating toward elevated basics, breathable fabrics, bold pops of color, and statement accessories like big hats and sunnies. I’m especially loving cute woven bags and versatile pieces that work just as well for a day in the city as they do for a dreamy travel destination. Ahead, I’ve curated my ultimate summer wish list filled with pieces I can’t stop thinking about. Take a look, and if you’re feeling unsure about what to wear this season, I hope this gives you a little inspiration.

If you asked me which three essentials I’d prioritize this summer, these would be at the top of my list:

Jelly Flip-Flops

I can’t stop wearing my Christopher Esber jelly flip-flops. I picked up a pair last summer and fully plan on living in them again this season. The brand continues to release new styles and colors that feel perfect for summer, and I love how versatile they are. They can easily be dressed up or down – styled with a cute mini dress for dinner, or paired with linen pants and jeans for a more effortless daytime look. 

Matching Set

A great matching set is always worth the investment, especially during summer. I’m obsessed with a good linen set, like the Staud option I included on my list. Wear it in the city with simple flats and layered jewelry, or style it on vacation with a woven hat and flip-flops for an elevated resort feel. What I love most is the versatility, each piece can also be worn separately and styled with so many other staples already in your closet, making it a go-to all season long.

Woven Handbag

A woven or basket bag might just be the ultimate summer accessory. It adds the perfect texture and effortless feel to any outfit, whether you’re headed to the beach, brunch, or a day in the city. I love how seamlessly it pairs with both relaxed beachy looks and more elevated summer pieces. It’s timeless, chic, and one of those staples that instantly makes an outfit feel more seasonal and polished.
