6 Fashionable Basics for Summer: What Should Be in a Summer Wardrobe

Each season brings fresh new accents. Some pieces become true cornerstones of a summer wardrobe. At Joy-pup, we’ve gathered six fashionable essentials for summer 2025 — they are versatile, comfortable, and perfectly suited for a variety of looks.

Oversized Shirt

This item has long been a classic, but it truly reveals its full potential in summer. The oversized shirt pairs well with shorts, skirts, jeans, and even looks trendy when worn over a swimsuit. Thanks to its loose fit and natural fabrics, it allows for excellent airflow and doesn’t restrict movement.

Linen Shorts

Linen shorts not only breathe and feel pleasant on the skin, but also look stylish. Choose neutral shades such as off-white, khaki, or caramel. Pair them with tops, cropped tanks, untucked shirts, and woven bags.

Slip Dress

This season, the slip dress has become a universal staple not only for parties but also for everyday wear. Combine it with a white T-shirt or a lightweight blazer for a polished look. Paired with heeled sandals, it transforms into an evening outfit; worn with sneakers and a denim jacket, it creates a casual, slightly effortless look.

Flat Sandals

Comfort and style come together in flat sandals, which have become an essential part of the summer wardrobe. They look especially striking with natural fabrics, emphasizing a sense of ease and harmony in the outfit. Thin straps, minimalist design, and neutral colors make this footwear easy to pair with anything — from dresses to trousers.

Woven Bag

Woven accessories are a signature of the summer wardrobe. A woven tote, crossbody, or basket-style bag adds a light and vacation-like vibe to your look. The most fashionable models are made of raffia, straw, bamboo, or rattan. Tip: choose a medium-sized bag so it’s convenient to carry both around the city and on holiday.

Sunglasses

Dark sunglasses in summer are not just protection from the sun but also a bold accent that can set the tone for your entire outfit. Even the simplest look instantly becomes stylish and memorable with the right pair of standout shades. This season’s trends include:

• Sunglasses with transparent colored frames (pink, mint, amber)
• 70s-style retro glasses
• Geometric shapes (hexagons, ovals, trapezoids)

Ideally, you should have at least one versatile pair and one more creative pair.
