This summer's hero fashion staple? A breezy dress you can throw on for anything.

It comes in 18 color options, so you might want to pick up more than one.

This cardi makes this list of must-haves because it’s the perfect boating companion, is great to drape over your work chair on a chilly day and will go with just about any pair of shorts you can rustle up. Another bonus is that this sweater is machine washable (because who has time for hanging their jumpers out to dry?), and has two big hand pockets at the front.

For comfy slides you'll neither break your ankle in nor sacrifice your style for, these sandals are the way to go.

Reviews say they do run narrow, however, so consider sizing up when ordering.

It doesn’t get much more versatile than a good slip skirt for summer, and this midi-length pick can easily be worn casually or dressed up.

This button-up do-it-all dress is a staple so good you can wear it from the office to the beach to brunch, and basically anywhere else.

Nothing beats a good pair of slide sandals for the warm-weather season and this is one that’s begging to be worn again and again. These slides have a super subtle, 0.5-inch heel, and the bit of elastic at the sides will keep them feeling flexible as you walk. Shoppers confirm they feel well-made and comfortable, too, as one reviewer writes, “They're comfortable, cute and well-made. They have a surprising amount of padding and support for flat slide sandals, and they don't rub or cause blisters. I like the metal accents around the edge of the shoes, I think it gives them a bit more visual interest and sets them apart from the plain brown sandals you can get elsewhere!”

Loose and flowy, this is a great pick for those days when your errands are unending and you just can't be bothered with getting dressed. The thing we really like about it, though, is that between its tiered detailing and body-skimming fit, it doesn't look like a shapeless, oversize sack. We can also never get enough pockets, which this dress has on both sides.

Create a casual, sporty ensemble with the tennis skirt of your dreams. It's got a little pair of shorts hidden beneath its pleats in case of a Marilyn-style gust of wind, not to mention the hidden working side pocket for your keys or lip balm. The fabric also boasts a bit of stretch for comfort.
