The weather is warm and the restrictions are lessening… which means summer vacation is on! Whether your vacation includes a tropical getaway, a trip to the lake, or laying out by the pool, there are some summer essentials that you *need*. And these items will upgrade your summer style and your vacay Instagram posts. Luckily, you don’t have to spend a boatload of money to get a solid summer uniform. Here are 3 things to buy for the perfect summer look:
1. SLIDE SANDALS
Lulus Time to Chill Tan and Rose Gold Slide Sandals ($18)
Nothing beats a good pair of slides. Not only are slides super trendy right now, they’re also incredibly convenient. They’re easy to slide on (get it?) when you’re on your way out the door to grab a snow cone or running errands. And you can slip them on when you’re still wet from coming out of the pool. But slides don’t have to be ugly (see above)—there are some really cute slides out there that can be dressy enough for a dinner date!
2. FLOWY MAXI DRESS
Lulus Lovely Invitation Light Blue Print Sleeveless Button-Front Dress ($35, down from $68)
Honestly, flowy maxi dresses are a lifesaver when the heat is blistering. Quickly pop on a maxi dress so you don’t have layers clinging to your skin; flowy dresses offer a breeze to cool you off (and you can cover up the fact you haven’t shaved). Plus, maxi dresses instantly make you look fancy and fashionable—even when you feel like a melting witch. In the summer season, we’re always on the lookout for good maxi dresses, and Lulus has some of the best deals on the best dresses, including this sleeveless button-front dress.
3. STRAW HAT
Lulus Feelin’ It Beige Woven Boater Hat ($24)
No outfit is complete without summer accessories. Straw hats and woven bags just scream warm weather while looking incredibly stylish. If you don’t have a woven boater hat like this, trust me, you *need* one. Fashion and function come together in this iconic silhouette to shield you from harsh UV rays and take your look to the next level. From jeans to dresses to swimsuits, a straw hat matches everything. (This floppy straw hat is a cheaper option if you don’t vibe with the boater style.)
