1. Tank Top
Whether ribbed, simple, or in a muscle silhouette, the tank top is a true staple in any fashion person's wardrobe this summer to throw on and look chic.
2. White Shirt
The white button-down shirt has always been a classic and continues to enter the spotlight even more as a must-have this season.
3. Chain Necklace
In the jewelry realm, chain-link necklaces (either single or layered) are a go-to because they basically pair flawlessly with anything and can instantly elevate other basic pieces.
4. Relaxed Denim
If a fashion person is wearing jeans right now and in the summer months, it's likely a more relaxed, straight-leg cut, which has basically become a fresh classic.
5. Strappy Sandals
Featuring either multiple straps, T-straps, or one thick strap, strappy sandals (especially in a neutral hue) are a wardrobe hero to be dressed up or down.
6. Sweatshorts
Yes, joggers are also a staple, but sweatshorts are proving to be the backbone of summer wardrobes as a comfortable and cool item worn with a T-shirt, tank, blazer, whatever.
7. Tank Dress
The beauty of a tank dress is that it's chic and highly versatile either worn on its own or with statement accessories.
