All the Proof You Need That Your Summer Closet Is Complete With Just 10 Items

This piece can transition from the house to a feel-good summer walk. While the details should speak to your personal style, it should be loose, breezy, and comfortable enough to nap in.

Personally, I'm all about a tiered silhouette like this. I know I'd want to wear this Lemlem Eshe Cascade Dress ($325) every day.

The sheer factor is up to you — you can choose one in linen or a gauzy material if you like to show a slip of lingerie while you're lounging around the house. I absolutely recommend choosing one in white so it goes with everything.

I love that The Frankie Shop Long Sleeve Wrap Blouse in White ($77) has a deep-V neckline, so I can show off some layered necklaces if I choose to.

I've been thinking of biker shorts as my second skin. I'll wear them with swim tops to soak up some rays outside, with proper skin protection, of course, or I'll wear them underneath an oversize graphic tee with my slippers as I glide into the kitchen.

I encourage you to pick up the Everlane The Perform Bike Short ($38) with its matching Weekend Tank Bra ($22) for style moments just like this.

This is pretty much my go-to footwear for every social-distancing walk I take. I like to extend these up to 45 minutes, so socks and supportive trainers are necessary. I know that technically these are two separate items, but think of them as a reasonable combination that you might as well style to your liking.

Your Nike game will certainly be strong with the Nike Air Force 1 '07 Sneaker ($90) and Nike Everyday Cushion Crew Sock 6-Pack ($20).

Lately, this is the style of tee I'm living in. I really like the '80s feel of a shirt with a strong shoulder, and it makes my most basic outfits look just a little more of the moment. My favorite way to wear this relaxed top is with boy shorts and a headband during an episode of Netflix-and-chill.

I really like the idea of purchasing this silhouette in a bodysuit form (so I can pull on a pair of jeans quickly, if need be), and the C Edition Eliza Body ($90) has exactly the vibe I'm going for.

Perhaps the trendiest item on this list is the loungewear set, which makes me feel cute simply because it's an easy outfit that flows. Ribbed iterations are definitely all the rage, but I also like the idea of something fresh and colorful in a standard jersey cotton.

Colors like lime and lemon yellow make a day in the house feel a little more festive. I also like that you can rework the Zelie For She Vibrant Sundown Tunic ($42) and Zelie For She Vibrant Sundown Pant ($49) as separates over a swimsuit later.

While it's always hard for me to choose between a baseball cap and a bucket hat, nine times out of 10, I want to take a selfie in the bucket hat. These just feel more beachy — especially with sunglasses — and I pretty much always want to pretend that my toes are in the sand.

After getting my white bucket hat dirty one too many times, I highly suggest investing in another friendly neutral: denim. The Intentionally Blank Saylor Denim Bucket Hat ($65) is perfect.

I'm the first girl to keep all her bags in fair rotation (I love the $12 Amazon purchases just as much as the designer investments I've made and cherished for a long time). But lately, I've been wanting to keep my pouches close, especially as I navigate having to step out with a mask and gloves when running errands. That means a crossbody with a sturdy, functional strap or a waist bag I can sling over my shoulder.

If you're looking for a bag that fits the bill and you're in the mood to keep your purchase summer-centric, the AAKS Bika Rouge Bag ($146) is certainly a stylish option.

While I rotate between my chicer slides and my trusty Tevas with velcro, a strap around the heel is definitely more supportive for a longer walk. It all depends on where I'm going, but it pays to have a neutral pair that works with anything.

The & Other Stories Diagonal Slingback Leather Sandals ($79) are the perfect meet-in-the-middle combination of luxe and functional.

For me, this comes in the form of a silk bandana, hands down. Why? Because let's be honest, most of the time I'm working from the bedroom and my hair is unkempt. Having one of these on my bedside table at the ready solves that problem when I need to jump on a Zoom call. But if I'm feeling myself, I just might turn it into a top to rock with my biker shorts later on. Other recommendations include but aren't limited to gold hoops, pretty rings you can stare at while typing on your computer, headbands, and scrunchies.

I recently discovered Deseda and fell in love with the vibrant patterns the site has to offer. The Loving Hands Silk Scarf ($175) is specifically relevant to this moment in time, when I want to extend the message of world peace. Artist Michelle D'Urbano, who is based in Zambia, collaborated on this specific graphic.
