On any given day, you will probably find me in a dress. This is why I love investing in dresses that are easy to thrown on and go. This could not be any more true in the summer wherein the heat makes dressing up on most days extra challenging. I like to put on a dress and a pair of sandals to look polished by putting a little effort into the look. This look that I got for you today showcases my quintessential summer look that also incorporates five of my must-have pieces for summer.

This is by no means a shopping guide of sorts, but I have listed down my favorite pieces to rotate into my wardrobe for summer. I've listed some of the reasons why I consider them a must-have and a few other recommendations that you can add to your shopping list too:

Floral Sundress

A sundress is number one on my list of must-have summer pieces. Even though I tend to wear florals all year round, there is an emphasis for floral dresses that are light and breezy in the summer. Feminine floral prints and dresses that are made of light chiffon materials are my ultimate go-to for summer. Plus, floral is a classic pattern so it never goes out of trend and you can wear it for next season or anytime of the year.

Wedge Sandals

Slides and strappy sandals are the most comfortable choice of footwear for summer. But if you want a more dressed up summer outfit, a pair of wedges can give you that without compromising on comfort as well.

Light Denim Jacket

A light denim or a chambray jacket is my ideal layering piece for summer or anytime of the year. The best thing about layering chambray over your sundresses is the ability to transition your look from day to night. Plus, it gives a more polished touch to your sundress.

Crossbody Bag

A crossbody bag is my go-to bag for casual looks on weekends and in the summer. It is perfect for outfits that you can put on and go. There are also different styles to choose from so you can choose according to your desired style.

Cool Sunglasses

I love statement sunglasses for summer and that is why I added it to this list. It adds that "cool chic" vibe to an outfit; plus, sunglasses are important to protect your eyesight from the heat while you're out and about. It does not hurt if it adds a style statement to your outfit.
