Slay your summer with these wardrobe staples.
Summer is right around the corner and temps are already rising—so, naturally, you’re also gonna wanna turn up the heat when it comes to your wardrobe. Whether you’re sticking around the City of Oaks this season, headed to the beach or gallivanting around the globe, these are the staples you should stock in your closet, according to local fashionistas. Alexa, play “Burnin’ Up” by the Jonas Brothers.
Maxi Dress • You can’t go wrong with a flowy maxi dress—period. “Throw it on and dress it up for a special event, or down with a pair of sandals,” suggests Charlotte’s owner Stephanie Sneeden. To boot, maxis are having a moment and abound in almost any color, pattern or style. NTM the accessory ops are endless—from jewelry (the more layers the better) to hats (go straw for major beach vibes) to shoes (sneakers, heels or flip-flops—oh, my!).
Shop the look: Charlotte’s: Marie Oliver Betti maxi dress, $398; Hunter Bell Jessica candy stripe dress, $465
Cuffed Denim • It’s still cuffing season (*wink, wink*). Uniquities Marketing Director Carly Romano says the trend is going to be, well, hot this season thanks to its flattering silhouette—think high waist and wide-leg cut. Plus, it’s a staple that can be worn for both casual and fancy occasions. Short girlies rejoice!
Shop the look: Uniquities: Trixie trouser jeans, $198; Dame jeans in Fortune Cookie, $258
Summer Heel • A sweet summer heel easily takes you from day to night, maintains Monkee’s of Raleigh Business Administration & Accounts Manager Johnna Dodd. Opt for one you’d actually want to wear all day—neutral toned and with just a slight heel that won’t destroy your foot by hour four. Bonus points for texture!
