FOUND: 3 Summer Essentials You Can’t Live Without

The No.1 summer essential I can’t live without is this fabulous pair of denim shorts by Pistola. My favorite aspect is that the legs are designed a little bit wider, making them super flattering and comfortable. I love the edgy distressing and the wash is right on point. I wear a size 24 and they fit true to size.

Have you tried the second-skin bodysuits from Quince? I have always been a Skims lover but believe me when I say they have some competition here. They’re made with smooth high-quality material, they compress in all the right places and they have a fabulous price point. They come in several neutral colors and I wear a size XS for size reference.

Next on my list of summer essentials I can’t live without are these amazing slide sandals by Sam Edelman. They’ve been selling like crazy and I honestly think they are the perfect summer shoe! The neutral shade goes with everything and some colors are even on sale right now. I love the padded footbed for maximum comfort and these are a great alternative to heels without going too casual. I find they run slightly big so size down 1/2 a size – I’m wearing an size 7.

I wanted to share this incredibly soft button-down shirt with you all because it makes the perfect third layer in a summer outfit like this one. This shirt is the perfect solution when it’s too warm for a jacket but not warm enough for just a tank. It comes in tons of colors ( I also own it in white) and I like to style it tied up at my waist for an easy casual look. I wear an XS and it fits true to size.

In this look, I dressed up the Pistola shorts by swapping my flats for a pair of gold strappy heels from Sarah Flint. These beauties are called the “Perfect Sandal” and it’s easy to see why. They’re the ideal heel height to make your legs look miles long but you don’t have to sacrifice comfort thanks to the padded footbed and ergonomic design. I love wearing gold in my shoes and accessories and it’s a major bonus that metallics are trending hard in 2024.

As I said above, I dressed up my shorts by swapping my button-down shirt for an elegant white blazer from Alice & Olivia. Adding a jacket is my favorite style tip, no matter what you’re wearing and a white oversized blazer is a summer must-have. This one in particular has the ideal oversized fit and it’s currently on sale for almost $200 off, so this is a great time to snap one up. I wear a size 2 in this gorgeous third layer and it fits true to size.
