Lately, my mind’s been wandering straight to thoughts of picnics in the sun, afternoons in beer gardens and the summer dresses I’ll be wearing for this re-entry into society. I’m not alone, as I’m still seeing memes about the intense level of outfit planning needed for the season ahead. One excellent tweet I saw compared the level of decision-making for when restrictions are lifted to working out what to wear for a year-six disco.
Now that summer is here, I’ve been plotting the few pieces I’m going to be adding to my wardrobe. Below, I’ve listed the 17 items that I think are welcome additions to any wardrobe in summer 2021 and that make for a perfect capsule with a mix of basics and statement pieces.
I have included a blend of summer staples such as tank tops, basket bags and high-waisted jeans, which form the building blocks of any successful summer wardrobe. Of course, you can’t talk about summer without mentioning dresses, and for 2021, I’m loving joyful bright-pink dresses, simple white, flowing dresses and even a black dress with cut-outs for after-dark events. When it comes to sandal trends, there is one style that is a front runner so far this year and will be perfect for walking thousands of steps: leather fisherman sandals. We can thank The Row for this one.
Keep scrolling for the 17 items that I think make the perfect capsule for summer 2021.
