From a little black dress to a fitted blazer, there are some itemss every woman needs in her wardrobe for year-round wear. But there are other women’s clothing essentials you’ll need specifically for summer. The Village Shop in Whitefish, MT, is here to explain four women’s clothing staples you should have in your summer wardrobe. 

4 Summer Women’s Clothing Staples 

1. Minimalist Sandals

In the heat of summer, wearing ventilated footwear will help you stay cool and comfortable. There are countless sandal styles to choose from, but a pair of minimalist, neutral-colored flats is an essential every woman should own. You can dress these up or down depending on the occasion and wear them with anything from shorts and a T-shirt to a cute sundress.

2. White Linen Dress

White is the ideal color for summer as it reflects light and heat, unlike darker colors, which absorb it. Similarly, linen is a breathable, light material that is perfect for hot days. A white linen dress can be worn anywhere from the office to a date with the right styling. Consider pairing it with colorful sandals and boho jewelry for a weekend with friends or flats, a blazer, and simple silver or gold jewelry for a day at work. 

3. Black One-Piece Swimsuit

Whether you love or hate swimsuit shopping, finding the perfect suit can boost your confidence and keep you comfortable for a day of sunbathing or swimming. A black one-piece is flattering for any body type. It’s also conservative enough to wear in public spaces, like beaches or hotel pools, without making you feel overly self-conscious. 

4. Sunglasses

Sunglasses can elevate an outfit from basic to fabulous, and glasses with UV protection also block the sun’s harmful rays, protecting your eyes and delicate undereye skin from damage. When shopping for sunglasses, pick a style that fits your face shape. For instance, square frames suit round faces, while a square face works well with cat-eye frames. Aviator and square frames complement heart-shaped faces well, while those with oval faces can wear just about any frame shape.
