What's great about summer is that you can have a completely new wardrobe to welcome the warmer weather! The aim however, is to stay cool in the heat. So think less layers, and more flowy, light material! (Sorry for the different sized pictures :/ ) 
Here are my top 10 fashion essentials this summer:

Cover ups - graphic tees, tank tops, kimonos, crop tops... the options are endless Perfect to throw on over your bikini when you're in a hurry or when you do not wish to show too much skin (:

Can be transformed into a cover up, or just a simple, breezy dress to wear either at a night beach party or when you're out and about (:

A more elegant and sophisticated version of the sundress in my opinion. Just as flowy, but enables you to cover up more leg and could be an emergency solution when you have an unplanned fancy dinner night out!

To me, rompers always scream summer as they are so lightweight! They have a greater mobility than a dress, but are equally as trendy (:

Ditch those jeans for shorts! It'll keep you cooler! Don't just go for plain old denim shorts though, experiment with different types of prints to switch up your look!

Easy to take on and off for those moments when you want to just sink your feet in the warm sand or dip your toes in the ocean. Those are also great for walking around and keeping your feet cool! From plain to embellished, the designs are limitless.

Trade your heels for wedges this summer! Wedges give you more support so you can walk around longer without having sore feet after a long day.

Everyone needs a hat to shade themselves from the Sun's blazing rays. What better way to do it than a large oversized floppy one!

Of course, you can't forget those chic sunglasses to protect your eyes! There are lots of designs to choose from, but be sure to get one with high UV protection!

Finally, a bag to store ALL your items. Tote bags are great because they are bigger and can fill more things and be extra prepared
