Summer is here, and that definitely means that you don’t have to wear as many layers. Have you put away all of your winter clothes? What does your summer closet look like? There are several things that everybody should keep in their closet as a year-round necessity. In other words: We want to help you maintain your closet in a cost efficient way. Here are some things that you should always have in your wardrobe.

1. Scarf: Most people think of winter and cold climates when they hear about scarves. However, did you know that they make light scarves for the spring and summer as well? These scarves (obviously) aren’t meant for warmth. They are meant to make a statement.
2. Sandals: This is conditional based on where you live. Here in Los Angeles – you can wear sandals year-round. If you live in an area where the season are particularly true to their names, you might be baffled as to why sandals should stay in your closet. Just remember, there are warm days in the winter and there are hot days in the fall at times. You’ll want to know that your sandals are within reach on those days, unless you love wearing snow boots in the sun.
3. Light Jacket: A light jacket is necessary year-round, adding a “just in case” feature to your closet. If you’re going out at night, there’s a great chance that it will be chilly if not cold. A jacket is also a good thing to keep in the car as well.
4. Bodycon Dress: This is short for “body-conscious”. This means that this dress will contour your body to hug your curves and make you look like the beautiful woman that you are.  You can wear this during the cold months with tights and a biker jacket, and you can wear this during the hot months without tights.
5. Skirts: Skirts can be interchanged throughout the seasons just as we’ve mentioned with the bodycon dress.
6. Button-down shirts: These can be made casual with jeans and flats in the cold months. These can also be made casual with shorts and gladiator sandals or wedges in the hot months.
7. Leggings: Leggings are universally used by women everywhere. Leggings should always be worn with a longer shirt. You can pair them with a sweater and boots in the cold months and pair them with a simple shirt and sandals in the hot months.
8. Jeans: Jeans are something that can always be worn at any time. You can dress them up and dress them down.
