In today’s post I will be talking about my Spring/Summer fashion essentials. I used to do these every new season, but completely forgot about doing one in October last year, because I was so caught up in uni! I noticed that because I didn’t know what I wanted to own in winter, that I just felt a little bit uninspired when it came to outfits. I sincerely think that it has to do with the fact that I just didn’t do one of these Autumn/Winter essentials posts, so I’m back with an essentials post!

So in today’s post I basically talk about all the things that I want to be wearing during the Spring/Summer season, that I like, and already own and some items that I might just have to get myself a few more items of.


The Sleeveless Blazer

Sleeveless blazers have been around for a year now, and I wasn’t sure that I really liked them. I made up my mind, and I absolutely love them, especially during the warmer months when you can wear them as a coat-like something over a cute outfit or even over a dress. I currently own this black one from SheIn, a khaki one from Primark and I ordered a pinstriped one from Stradivarius. Besides those three I am also planning on getting myself a white one, but I just haven’t stumbled across one just yet.

Culottes

Culottes. Some people love them some people hate them. I personally love them, and I am looking to expand. I am lacking in the culottes section of my wardrobe as you might be able to tell. I currently only own these black culottes from Primark, but I would love to get myself another pair of black culottes, a pair of white culottes and maybe a pair of grey and/or pinstriped culottes. But finding the perfect pair can be very hard. I have been looking around a bit and noticed that Missguided, ASOS and Boohoo do some really lovely culottes, so check those out if you’re looking to buy a pair of culottes like me!

Graphic Tee’s

Whenever I see someone walk around with a really cool graphic tee, I’m just like yes, I need that in my life. I barely own any good graphic tee’s, so this year I am hoping to build myself a bit of a collection. It kind of depends on what kind of tee you would like to go for. I see lots of people wearing these Adidas or these Fila t-shirts lately. If you're not into those kinds of t-shirts you could go for a tee with text on it such as this one from Urban Outfitters. 

Something I absolutely love when it comes to graphic tee’s are band or movie tees. I just can’t seem to find the perfect one. I was having a little look through eBay the other week and found the perfect YEEZUS tee, that I have been wanting for absolute ages, but other than that, I haven’t been that lucky. Most people who do wear band tees usually tell me to go into a vintage store and try to find them there there.

So a few tips I am going to share with you when looking for graphic tees are: 
1. If you’re on the hunt for the perfect band tee, go vintage/thrift shopping, that’s probably where you’ll find the perfect one!
2. Another one is to go and browse in the H&M Mens section, they do some band tees and sometimes have some tees with 

Smart Trousers
Smart trousers are my go to pair of pants whenever I don’t know what to wear. Normally you’d go for jeans, but I tend to go for smart trousers instead. I already own a black pair, a white pair and a grey pair of smart trousers, which I think are the essentials in every girls’ wardrobe. I am looking to expand, so I plan on buying myself a pair of pinstriped trousers. I spotted a few on Mango and ZARA already, if you’re interested in buying pinstriped trousers too. I’d say for any kind of smart trouser buy them at H&M, Mango or ZARA as they usually make my perfect kind of smart trouser.

Cami tops
I feel like I mention this item and the next item in nearly every Spring Summer wardrobe essentials post. Cami tops are great. I love them for when it’s really hot out and kind of don’t want to wear clothes. I love how they are flowy and can be dressed up or dressed down. I already own quite a few of these tops but I seem to have lost all of my black ones, so I will be repurchasing a black one, and I kinda feel like I should own a khaki one too. I usually get my cami tops at Topshop, Primark and sometimes Zara.

The basics

This is another one of those items that I will always include into my wardrobe essentials posts. It’s kind of cliché but it’s definitely true. We all need our basic tees. I usually get mine at H&M and Zara. I love wearing white tees during the spring and summer time. However I also feel like we all should invest in some other colours like grey, black, khaki and of course: a striped version. Because we all know that if I’m not wearing black and white combined, I will be wearing something stripey.
