12 Key Pieces You Can Build Your Whole Summer Look Around

Need we say more? Fortunately for you, we're in love enough with our denim that we'll sing this ultimate summer wardrobe essential's praises even though it's kind of self-explanatory. With few exceptions, our vintage jean shorts are rarely taken off from Memorial Day until Labor Day (and then some). We style it with t-shirts and silk tops; peel off all but a bodysuit when the sun is high; and layer knits and leather jackets when the sun is low. In short, when you find that perfect pair, come summer, buy twelve.
