I always like to have some beautiful wardrobe pieces on hand for the summer that look great every year since it’s such a short season. This is why I think it makes sense to purchase things that are timeless and always in style. Below are six summer essentials I wear on repeat each year that are also perfect for warm-weather travel. Keep scrolling to see and shop some of my favorite picks!

1. Sundresses
A light, easy sundress is a summer wardrobe staple. The perfect sundress provides you the comfort, ease, and versatility you need for summer; you can dress it up or dress it down and wear it for nearly any occasion, from the beach to dinner and everywhere in between.
The dress shown here is on sale from Amazon for $46.99! My daughter Rachel and I both have it!

3. Sunnies
A designer pair of sunglasses (or multiple!) are a must-have, especially living in California. I love edgy-classic styles like these luxury cat eye frames and retro aviators.

4. Packable Straw Hats
A stylish way to complete any summer outfit. And the best part? They are packable! I wear them on rotation in a few different styles and always bring them with me when I travel.

5. Solid Swimsuits
I love the look of solid swimwear, especially when it has some pretty style details! The most important thing about any swimsuit is finding one that flatters your figure so pay attention to the cut and fit.
This summer, I’ve been living in these gorgeous swimsuits by CAMI AND JAX, a line of luxury swimwear based in LA and loved by lots of celebs including Kate Hudson and Jennifer Lopez. They are beautifully constructed, double-lined and super-flattering.

6. Classic Slide Sandals
I’ve been loving and wearing this sandal style for years and they go with almost everything in my summer wardrobe. They are easy, timeless, and chic.
I have the Saint Laurent ones in taupe and gold, and prefer them to the Hermes Oran slides because of the fit. They are also perfect for travel and easily fit in a carry-on bag so I think worth the splurge!
I also love the cult favorites shown below like these Birkenstocks (ordered for myself and included in the NSale) and Sam Edelman slides which give you the look for less (also on sale right now!).
