Unless otherwise specified, all sizes in this post are listed in women's.
1. A pair of bike shorts with handy-dandy pockets on the sides along with a teeny mesh panel to differentiate them from your other pairs. Is there such a thing as having too many pairs of bike shorts? Sorry, that was a stupid question.
2. A crochet crop top to keep things easy and breezy on hot summer days. Paired with a bandeau or cool bralette, you have the perfect sunny ensemble ready to go.
3. A leopard print wrapped one-piece suit whose tie is more than just for aesthetics — it helps you tailor the fit of the suit to your body ensuring you're comfortable and supported during your entire beach day.
4. A mesh T-shirt if the thought of wearing any solid fabric at all as long as the sun stays a-shining is simply unimaginable.
5. A pair of lightweight shorteralls so you can exercise your layering skills endlessly. Tees, tanks, and suits can get swapped in as an underlayer, while button-ups, wraps, and cardis can rotate as the top layer as needed.
6. A cropped pocket tee because is there anything better than the perfect basic white tee? This one can be layered as a base for a more complex fit or worn as-is for a chic minimalist look.
7. A ruched cover-up to complete your perfect beach ensemble with a pop of color. Let's make a pact to save dour colors for winter and rock bright tie-dye as much as possible this season.
8. A light tiered dress if the main adjective you want to use to describe your outfits in the next couple of months is "flowy." This cutie is gonna become a throw-on staple in the blink of an eye.
9. A ribbed one-shoulder midi dress that is a simple and elegant all-in-one outfit for days spent brunching and nights spent dancing.
10. A unique halter lace bralette with crossed straps and a keyhole cutout that is begging to be layered under flowy tops and dresses to bring some interesting texture and color to the table.
11. A scoop-neck bikini top you can mix and match endlessly to craft the perfect bikini set. You should go ahead and keep this in your bag at all times in case of any emergency pool party invites.
12. A pair of denim shorts with a staggering 4.8-star average rating thanks in part to its comfy-as-heck elastic back. If the main reason you don't reach for denim is the digging-in factor of the waistband, you may have just found your new summer go-to.
13. A chiffon wrap skirt I can already picture you wearing as you drink an iced coffee and go on a walk with friends. Am I...a psychic?
14. A low-stress exercise dress for anyone who's majorly tired or wearing the same sports bra and shorts combos to work out. This dress balances fashion and function perfectly, and isn't life all about balance?
15. A pair of high-waisted gauze shorts great for casual errands, lounging, or throwing on over a bathing suit on your way to the pool (fingers crossed it's that one).
16. And a matching top so you can be dressed in this heavenly, light fabric from head to toe. Who doesn't love a set?
17. A crocheted cover-up that you can obv rock over a bathing suit, but I think it's equally suited as a going out fit with the right layers underneath! Crochet is *in* and my knitwear-loving heart is happy.
18. A high-neck ribbed bra top whose long-line style allows it to easily double as a crop top for regular wear. We love a multipurpose garment!
19. A tied tee with a super cool circle cut-out in the back sure to garner you the coveted "Wait, where did you get that?" question from all of your friends.
20. A skort whose (duh) built-in shorts will instill in you the confidence to twist, leap, and kick wether you're wearing it for sporty reasons or in your everyday life. It also has pockets on the sides for holding your phone, little snackies, keys, or even tennis balls if you're on the court.
