Habiba ElGaniny Summer brings with it capricious yet joyful vibes, starting from natural beach waves to tanned skin and naturally blushed cheeks. But it can bring challenges alongside. A warm, humid morning can shift our focus from planning an outfit and making an effort to just trying to survive the 40°C outside, so instead we go for something comfy that’ll just pass the day. So here are wardrobe essentials that will help you look effortlessly chic and won’t heat up. We’ve got your back, ladies. We can’t let that weather get the best of us.
1- Capri Pants
They are a timeless gift handed to us by Sonja de Lennart. Introduced in the 1950s, they have remained a fashion staple ever since—and for good reason. They can give completely different vibes depending on how you style them. You can pair them with a fitted tank, a tailored blazer, or a cropped top for a contemporary edge. When it comes to capri pants, it always feels like a model off-duty pick, effortlessly chic and comfy, what else do we need?
2- Polka Dot
They’ve found their way back to us from the 19th century. Polka dots on anything can literally change its whole concept. Those perfect black dots can add so much tenderness and style to any item whether it’s dresses, tops, skirts even shorts it immediately gives the vibes of vintage, and personally, it always reminds me of Marilyn Monroe.
3- Floral Sets
Floral clothing items always give me that sense of light femininity and divine nature aligned. That’s exactly what we need for summer. The thing about floral items is how they can just fit any occasion, whether you’re going to have a bright brunch with friends all the way to a romantic date late at night.
4- Corset Tops
Corset tops are coming back fiercely this season. They add the exact spice you need to the outfit. They can give the vibes of both Maddy Perez and Cassie Howard from Euphoria, depending on your mood and how you style them. The choice is entirely yours.
5- Ballerinas
Ballerinas coming back this season feels like a fresh breeze on a summer morning. It feels like fashion is giving us the exact throwback we need. It’s giving delicacy and somehow French vibes, and when it comes to fashion, who doesn’t want to get inspos from the French. Sandals are comfy, sneakers are always practical, heels, well, no need for words but ballerinas are always feminine, delicate and give tenderness and elegance to any outfit.
6- Crochet Mesh Tops
They’re the kind of tops that can fit perfectly, starting from a beach cover-up all the way to casual hangouts. They’ll give you that Tinker Bell fairy vibes styled with skirts. Or if you’re looking for something to fit a maximalist, free-spirit, and kinda rebellious mood, you can always style them with jeans, jorts or shorts. Trust me they won’t complain.
