With the warm weather now here and hotter weather on the horizon, it's the perfect time to do a closet refresh with a special focus on the staple pieces you are likely to wear the most. When doing my own refresh, I look to prioritize pieces that are effortless while still adding an elevated feel to my outfits. It's always a bonus if they are easy to mix and match, making for easy dressing in the morning.
Right now, my focus is on spring and summer essentials that fit the bill. This includes classic options like linen pants and white dresses as well as fashion-forward picks like sleek sandals and elegant shorts. Ahead, you'll find six key warm-weather essentials that I swear by as an editor with high standards along with visual outfit inspiration on how to style each piece.
