It is very easy to treat summer as an excuse to wear the same few t-shirts on rotation...but with a few additions to that rotation you can really ramp up your style. Choose lightweight fabrics, such as linen and organic cotton, or go for options with more stretch and moisture-wicking properties.
Most of all: go for a button-down shirt to elevate your look! Not only are they more sophisticated than simple t-shirts, they are often more breathable and versatile, as well as being perfect for layering!

9. Grooming Kit
Round out your look with a good grooming routine, and be sure to carry all your grooming essentials with you when traveling!

10. Books
Not so much a wardrobe essential...but a must-have for summer is a good collection of books! Leave space in your bag for a book or two, because you’re sure to find yourself with some downtime sooner or later. In fact, reading on the beach is far more stylish than scrolling endlessly on your phone, so it could be considered a wardrobe essential after all.
