We are counting the last minutes until the long-awaited start of summer and I have reviewed my summer wardrobe. Although there are no long-distance trips planned, summer in Lithuania promises to be not much cooler than in warm countries, so it's time to review your wardrobe. We have prepared a short must-have list, in which we have selected the basic clothes without which we cannot imagine our summer wardrobe:
Long linen dress
Completely non-binding, free, fluttering in the wind. A dress that you don't need to think about much, is perfect for leisure time, both by the sea or the lake. I can already see you walking along the beach, the wind blowing your dress, the sand tickling your feet and the sun lightly warming your face. Such a dress can be combined with sports shoes or sandals. You can boldly choose bright colors, because why not? Summer is for bright colors.
Wide pants
On a hot day, few people want to wear tight jeans, so wide linen pants become a great salvation! We recommend combining a tight or short blouse with trousers, this way you will highlight the waist, if you want to look official, combine it with a linen shirt. As for footwear, platforms or sneakers are perfect.
Elegant dress
When you have to spend hot days in the office, linen is the best solution, but not all linen models are suitable for office wear, we suggest that you have an elegant dress in your wardrobe - straight silhouette or fitted. This type of dress is perfect for both low heels and high heels. And let's not forget that summer is the season of holidays - christenings, weddings, birthdays, parties, etc. Therefore, having an elegant dress will be useful not only for the office, but also for holidays, so choose light and bright colors.
Linen shirt
A complete classic - a linen shirt for summer! Why linen? Just because linen is breathable, allows the skin to breathe and regulates body temperature, you will feel comfortable and look unique even on the hottest day. Light creasing of the shirt, especially in summer, gives charm and originality. Well, you can combine them with anything you want, jeans, pants, skirt, etc. If you don't like shirts, you can always choose an elegant linen blouse, which will also decorate your wardrobe and will be a great refreshment on a hot day.
Wool cardigan
After a long day in the sun, for evening walks, choose a light throw made of natural wool, which will envelop you in warmth and prevent you from getting cold even on those cool summer days. It goes well with both linen shirts and wide trousers! And we haven't mentioned yet that the cardigan will be able to move into the cold season wardrobe together and won't let you get cold there. Since wool is a natural material, it adapts to the temperature and can be suitable for both summer and winter. Two birds with one stone, right? 🙂
Extra tip
Combine the clothes of your summer wardrobe with each other, before buying a new garment, try to put together at least 5 combinations with the same garment, don't forget to match the color palette as well. This will make it easier to choose what to wear every morning and you won't have the headache of "I don't have anything to wear" when all the clothes match each other.
This is what a perfect summer wardrobe looks like, suitable for the crazy Lithuanian summer weather. By choosing natural materials like linen and wool, you will have a long-lasting garment that you will wear for more than one season, so we suggest that you don't follow trends and choose colors that are fashionable only this year, choose those colors and tones that suit you and make you happy. After all, clothes reveal our personality, values and often influence our mood, so let's be sustainable, high-quality and natural. Have a nice summer darlings and shop responsibly!
