The Summer Fit Kit

Summer 2025 isn’t for the faint of heart. It's humid, hectic, and somehow every single event wants to be outdoors. That means your fits need to not only look good, but function like a dream. The goal? To slay without sweating through your personality.

Enter: The Summer Fit Kit—your definitive checklist for showing up fresh, unbothered, and dangerously well-dressed, no matter what chaos the sun (or your group chat) throws at you.

 Statement Shades 

Futuristic shields. Color-tinted lenses. Frames chunkier than your AirPods case. If your shades aren’t giving “Bella Hadid on holiday” are you even outside correctly? This year’s sunglasses are an attitude. They’re your shield from UV rays and unsolicited conversations.

The Bag That Actually Does It All

You’re not switching bags for every vibe shift this summer, you just need to find the one. Something cute and functional. Look for a mid-sized shoulder bag or crossbody that’s spontaneous but also fits a book, lip gloss, emergency gum, and maybe your dignity.

Textured leather? Yes. Nylon with silver hardware? Absolutely. And if it has a secret inside pocket for your sneaky link’s bracelet? Even better.

The Stylish, Sweat-Proof, Walkable Shoe

This isn’t the season for cute-but-cursed shoes. You want style with mileage, your feet should not be crying at 3 PM just because you chose style over comfort. We can and will have both. Think chunky ‘dad’ sneakers like the New Balance 550s or a little more minimalistic like the Adidas Sambas or Campus 00s, it could even be a pair of comfortable, color-blocking platform sandals or just plain old flats.

Statement Jewellery 

You’re not stacking five necklaces just to take them off in a public bathroom later. This summer, it’s about wearable art—pieces that elevate without overpowering. Dainty chains, chunky silver rings, colourful beads that feel like a thrift-store jackpot.

You want someone to ask “Where’d you get that?” and for you to respond with “Oh this? It’s vintage,” even if it’s not. That’s the energy.

The MVP White Tank or Tee

You know the one. The ride-or-die tank that just goes with everything. Cargo pants, maxi or mini skirts, low-rise jeans or even dress pants if the occasion calls for such. You need something that works for whatever setting. It’s the universal cheat code for a good outfit, especially when it’s ribbed, cropped, or has the perfect slightly-see-through moment.

Once you find your holy grail white top, buy two. One for the streets. One for when the streets betray you with BBQ sauce.

A Light-But-Lingering Perfume 

We’re not talking about your signature scent here. Save the expensive stuff for date night. This is your casual, fresh, maybe-even-keep-it-in-your-bag type of perfume. A citrusy mist but not too sweet, because you know the bugs are outside just as much as you are this summer. A floral spritzer. Something breezy that makes you feel like the main character, even if you’re just running errands or waiting in line for overpriced iced coffee.

It doesn’t need to be a designer bottle—sometimes it’s the drugstore or supermarket find that hits hardest. Just make sure it’s light enough to reapply without overpowering the group chat’s noses. Sweat who? We smell like summer and self-worth.

Waterproof Sunscreen (Because Burns Aren’t a Vibe)

Listen. You can have the best fit in the city, but if your nose is peeling and your shoulders look like grilled chicken, none of it matters. Sunscreen is the most essential accessory of the season. Non-negotiable.

Go for a waterproof formula that can hold up through sweat, sea spray, and whatever you end up doing after brunch. Spray, stick, gel—whatever works. The point is to not come home looking like someone’s roasted Sunday dinner. Protect your skin, protect your legacy.

To sum it all up;

The Summer Fit Kit isn’t about chasing trends—it’s about building a wardrobe that works. You should feel cute, comfortable, and slightly dangerous at all times. Pick your essentials with intention, throw them on like you didn’t overthink it, and step out like you own the heat.

Summer’s short. Make the fit count.
