FIVE EASY PIECES THAT WILL CARRY YOUR SUMMER WARDROBE FROM BEACH TO BARBECUE
Summer weekends are almost here, and if your summer wardrobe needs a refresh, the good news is you only need a handful of easy, hard-working pieces.
Think long lunches, beach mornings, cricket on the telly and barbecues that run well past sunset.
SHEIN has been championing relaxed, sporty dressing this season with its game-day style edit, built around oversized tees, relaxed denim, matching sets, lightweight layers and bold block colours.
Those same pieces, first pitched at footy fans during finals, are just as handy once the weather warms up.
Why Sporty Dressing Works When It Heats Up
Comfort is everything when the mercury climbs, and sporty, relaxed pieces are made to move with you.
They also mix and match easily, so a few basics can create plenty of different outfits.
Here are the five pieces worth building your summer around.
1. The Oversized Tee
An oversized tee is the ultimate no-effort piece.
Wear it with denim shorts for the beach, half-tuck it into a midi skirt for lunch, or throw it over your swimmers.
Breathable cotton will help you stay cool on the hottest days.
2. Relaxed Denim
Relaxed denim is a comfortable alternative to skin-tight styles when it is hot and sticky.
Shorts are perfect for daytime, while a looser jean works well for cooler evenings.
3. The Matching Set
A matching set is the easiest shortcut to looking put together.
Wear the pieces as a pair for an instant outfit, or split them up and style each one with other basics.
4. Lightweight Layers
Summer evenings can cool down quickly, especially near the water.
A light shirt, cardigan or zip jacket is easy to pop in your bag and pull on when the sea breeze kicks in.
5. A Pop Of Bold Colour
Block colours are an easy way to make simple pieces feel fresh and fun.
If you usually reach for neutrals, start small with a bright tee, scarf or bag.
How To Build Your Summer Wardrobe On A Budget
The beauty of a pared-back summer wardrobe is that you can get plenty of wear from just a few pieces.
SHEIN's range of relaxed, sporty basics is available online at au.shein.com.
Before you add anything to your cart, check your wardrobe first: you may already own a few of these five pieces.
Then fill the gaps, and you will be set for every sunny weekend between now and autumn.
