15 Must-Have Styles To Elevate Any Summer Outfit

15 Must-Have Styles To Elevate Any Summer Outfit

7

These days, elevation is everything. Special details and accents that boost pieces from just basic to truly effortless allow them to truly earn their place within your wardrobe. As summer nears, that’s on the brain as we add to our shopping carts—and keep an eye on the lookout for you, too.

Where summer style is concerned, subtle and not-so-subtle details can bring an otherwise simple piece a whole new identity. Cinq à Sept, French Connection, Banana Republic, and more brands have launched dresses, shirts, and smooth knitwear with accents ranging from patterned open knits to delicate embroidery. Meanwhile, on the accessories front, you can boot your footwear wardrobe with a burst of color a la Christian Louboutin—or bring it a dash of carefree glamour, as seen in Lele Sadoughi’s sculptural pearls, John Hardy’s sleek connecting cuffs, and more.

Below, discover 15 styles to keep an eye on to elevate any outfit this summer.
