Summer weather has sort of arrived here in New York and as I transitioned my closet over a few weeks ago I realized how many things I can’t wait to pull out this summer as social plans get more into full swing. 

The last two years I have done a really popular post about Things in My Closet I’ll Be Wearing this Spring and Things in My Closet I Can’t Wait to Wear This Fall and today I am updating my Things I’ll be Wearing this Summer. It’s been fully refreshed with some of my latest looks, last year’s favorites and a few items I have picked up for the season ahead, too.

And, as always, don’t miss shopping My Closet – I try to keep it as up to date as possible and is broken down by category with sizing guidance as well. 

Things I’ll Be Wearing This Summer

I have done my best to link everything below so if you don’t see a link for an item it means it is no longer available.

And, as most of you know by now, my wardrobe is a mix of investment pieces and affordable finds. A lot of the pieces below you’ve likely seen before because I wear the same pieces season after season, year after year. It’s why I invest in pieces that I won’t tire of, will hold up with lots of wear and be timeless. 

Without further delay, let’s get into the things I’ll be wearing this summer.

This easy, breezy Reformation set. It has to be styled carefully otherwise it reads as pajamas but I love how cute it is. Wearing size 8.

This showstopper of a Tanya Taylor dress (wearing size 8). Size up for sure.
