What do I need in my summer wardrobe?

Despite having an amazing back catalogue of summer wear I find that each year I tend to circulate through the new things and few favourite. I've looked through all the ideas on Pinterest etc.

Yesterday I wore (for the weekly four hour trip to the supermarket) A midi tube skirt, strip t, sandals, denim jacket and x body back with chain and ray bans.

I am thinking this year I will get

2x trousers (culottes and other)
1x skirt
1or 2 dress
3 plain t shirts
1 stripe t shirt
2 vest
2 x sandals
1 x bag
1x sunglasses
1x belt

Is this overkill? Do in need more. I have a denim jacket which I love for summer. Have I missed anything essential? This is for day to day in the UK. Also. how much would you budget for my collection?

Good underwear and sandals, nice scarf or cardi for chills, realy good sun screen, nice rich foot cream, nice hair mask.

I would get more dresses because I love them, straw bag?

Depends what you already have, I guess?

A lot of those look like basics to me –do you not already have 3 t shirts and a belt?

Not trying to be facetious, just confused about what you're looking for...

Every year I seem to buy far too many sandals but I love sandals & there should be good designer sales this yr

tontie · 18/04/2020 11:15

As @ladybee28 says I don't tend to shop for a list unless it's a specific item more just add to what I have or see what I like. I wouldn't specifically buy 3 t-shirt's for summer but I understand some like to shop that way. What about a shirt or blouse?

I normally just buy as I need but end up buying too much and things get worn once and forgotten about. So was trying to create a more capsule wardrobe by spending more on a few key items.

Defo need a blouse or top and a straw bag. Thanks!

I just want to be able to throw on whatever I have and look effortlessly put together and well groomed- Another post corona dream!!

Go through what you have and see if you can it together outfits you like/inspired by Pinterest before you shop for more
