Whether you’re flying away to a tropical island or spending some quality time at home this summer, there are some essentials you need to have ready. The season is all about layering light pieces, which is great for mixing and matching. You can do a lot with a little – just make sure you have the right clothes to work with. Here’s a rundown of the must-haves:
Melissa Odabash Louise Cheetah-Print Silk-Chiffon Kaftan: This amount of cheetah print on the average day might overwhelm, but not when you’re poolside. This way even when you’re totally covered up, you can get wild. On NET-A-PORTER for $665.
Levi’s Modern Rise Demi Curve Cropped Skinny Jeans: It’s easy to spend tons of money on jeans, but the best isn’t always the most expensive. At Levi’s for $68.
