If, like me, all you bought over the course of the past two years were basics, and you're ready to spice things up a bit, now is the perfect time to do so. Loungewear purchases are decreasing as people are buying more things to wear out in the world.
Since you probably have enough basics, I put together a handy list of 38 fun, trendy summer items to wear with all of those white T-shirts, jeans, slip skirts, shorts, button-downs, and simple sneakers. These pieces are guaranteed to bring color, personality, and compliments to your summer outfits, and there are options for every budget. Accessories, cool tops, miniskirts, shoes, and more abound, so let's get to it before the exceptionally fun pieces sell out, shall we?
