Add some sunshine to your wardrobe with our top picks for summer style essentials.
Summer wedges
Wedges are back with a vengeance this summer, so if you splurged last summer, you are in luck. Add a bit of height to your frame without putting your tootsies through trials and tribulations. From neutrals to neons, they come in any color and with a wide range of embellishments. Cork, wood and even tribal print soles are popular right now, so mix and match to your heart’s content. Check out these flirty wedges by Madden Girl (#1).
High-waisted shorts
This classic look is making a big comeback. Ultra-feminine and ultra-sexy, high-waisted shorts are hotter than hot this summer. Teamed with a casual tank and some comfy flip flops during the day, or spiced up with some chunky platform sandals and a lace blouse for a night on the town, this style is as fabulous as it is versatile. Sizzle! Get that hourglass figure you love with this pair of polka dot high-waisted shorts from J. Crew (#2).
Neon handbag
If it’s blindingly bright, it’s bang on trend this season. Neons are all the rage and they are making an appearance in everything from dresses and skinny jeans to kitten heels. You can resurrect some of your old school standbys from the eighties or take a peek at the new edgy colors that are walking the catwalks right now. Lime green, aqua, yellow, bright orange and hot pink are springing up in all the designer collections. Want to add a blast of bold color to any ensemble? Take a peek at these dynamic neon handbags from Kate Spade (#3).
Wayfarer sunglasses
Are you a beach bunny? Get down with the latest sunglasses trend with a hip pair of wayfarers. These classic frames are stylish and spot-on sexy.

Miniskirts
Say goodbye to midi and hello to mini! Miniskirts are more popular than ever. Whether you like short and tight or flared and ruffled, this season is all about showing some skin.

For added style points, add some clashing prints to your ensemble. Matchy-matchy is out this season, so be fearless and have fun. Discover a world of bold colored jeans at Gap (#6).
Flirty tunic dress
Have fun in the sun with a flirty tunic dress. No matter what your body type, you can rock this fashion all summer long. Tribal and floral prints are big, as are bold stripes and edgy geometric patterns. We’re head over heels for this trendsetting tunic at BCBG (#7).
