White washed denim
White washed denim is an absolute classic and classics never go out of style. As a general rule, lighter clothes are in style during the warmer months and darker clothes are in style during the colder months. Regardless of the fit you choose (skinny, slim, or regular, to name a few), these pairs of white washed denim will be the cornerstone of your summer wardrobe. From the wide Nordstrom selection, we love the Ripped High Waist Crop Slim Boyfriend Jeans by MADEWELL. In MADEWELL’s signature fit this pair features small rips at the knee and a slim but relax shape, or the Makai Ripped Cutoff Denim Shorts by FREE PEOPLE for a more casual and fun look.

Whether you go with this whisper cotton t-shirt by MADEWELL or this white crop top from the ever-so-loved FREE PEOPLE, white is the epitome of a neutral and can be worn with absolutely everything.Â
3. Silk Blouse
Instagram has spoken, silk shirts and tops are summer’s hottest trend. Silk as as comfortable as it is lustrous, giving a classy and elegant look to your outfit. We love the white Pintuck Sleeveless Silk Blouse, featuring ruffles and neat pintuck for a sophisticated vibe. Or this black Short Sleeve Silk Blouse by CLUB MONACO, with delicate pleats shaping the blouse to hug your curves in the right place.
4. Dark Denim
This leads into our next summer wardrobe essential; dark denim. Dark long jeans, like the Sheri Rivet Side Slit Slim Ankle Jeans look great at night with high heels and a sophisticated top for an upscale casual look. Dark denim shorts, like the High Waist Denim Shorts by Madewell, are a classic staple of the summer wardrobe, giving you countless options for matching tops and shoes. To soften the darkness of the denim and give a nice contrast, throw on a white shirt and white shoes.
