Summer Hacks To Simplify Your Wardrobe

WORDS BY: Krystie Baker, Founder KRYSTIES Boutique

As the owner of KRYSTIES, my love for fashion has always been about more than just selling clothes - it’s about empowering women to feel confident and beautiful in their own skin. With summer upon us, I want to share three hacks of mine to get the most out of your summer wardrobe. 

1. Start with a Colour Palette

Choose a cohesive colour palette that reflects your summer vibes. If you’re a neutral girl, stick to the hues you love but don’t be afraid to branch out with some colours here and there - it is summer after all! But whatever summer hues are calling you - try to choose pieces that you can easily mix and match together. This way, you may only have 15 core items in your summer wardrobe but you have endless outfit possibilities.

2. Make sure to include Versatile Basics

Invest in high-quality basics that can be dressed up or down throughout summer. Material plays an important role here too so try and stick to cottons, linens and cool fabrics.
Key pieces might include:

Classic T-shirt:
You’ll rotate these all summer long.  A classic white tee will pair with denim shorts, a linen skirt or a thousand other possibilities. If there’s one staple item to have in your warm-weather-wardrobe, a high-quality, crisp T-shirt is it.

Lightweight Pants:
Even though it’s warm out, sometimes you just don’t feel like wearing a skirt or shorts. So when the occasion calls, it’s good to have a breathable pant option. Think linen culottes or 3/4 cotton trousers.

Easy-Breezy Dress:
It’s a summer’s evening and you’re on your way to a friend’s place for a barbeque and you’re in need of something cool but still dressy. Enter: an Easy-Breezy dress.

3. Incorporate Statement Pieces

Make sure to add a few standout items for those special occasions. For most of us, the lead up to Christmas means a packed social calendar so it’s important to have a few statement pieces you love. A beautiful blouse is the perfect statement piece to own; by simply swapping out the bottoms and accessories, you can reinvent your look and wear it again without feeling like it’s overdone.

At KRYSTIES, our staff are always ready to help you find that perfect piece.
