When the heat wave hits and it’s 1000 degrees outside, style is often the first thing that goes out the window. Summer isn’t usually the preferred season for fashionistas, given how hard it is to flex your style game when you’re limited to a single layer of clothing. But I like the challenge!
In today’s video we go over 10 summer essentials that will keep you looking fresh even when the weather doesn’t follow suit.



Summer Essentials (with some of my fav brand recommendations):

1. The Neutral TShirt:

Uniqlo Supima Tee: http://bit.ly/32HLGle (my goto for basic tees that don’t break the bank)
Asket TShirt: https://apprl.com/al/4Oha/ (better quality, a little more expensive)
Asket Lightweight TShirt: https://apprl.com/al/4pph/ (a lighter version of their normal tshirt, perfect for when it’s really hot)
Everlane Heavyweight Tee: http://bit.ly/32I7LjR (a little thicker than the other ones, feels more “substantial”, I personally love the fit/fabric)

2. Chinos:

Uniqlo Slim Chino: http://bit.ly/2TTgQEQ (they also have regular and skinny fit)
Asket Chino: https://apprl.com/al/4ea8/ (best fit I’ve tried personally)
Everlane Air Chino: http://bit.ly/2O9M2y2 (super lightweight, with some stretch)
