Shirt dresses: Dresses that look like shirts are perfect for lazy summer days when you need to throw something on to pop down to the shops. These dresses vary in style from the casual, long t-shirt look, to a feminine, sleeveless look with a sweet collar and long skirt, or the classic boyfriend long-sleeved button down. Whichever style suites you best, shirtdresses are a go-to item that will make your outfit choices quick and easy this summer.

Chunky sandals: The intriguing ugly-pretty shoe trend continues this season with the uprising popularity of flat platform sandals with thick or chunky straps. Last year, Birkenstock sandals became exceedingly popular as the go-to summer comfort shoe, but now the effortless, relaxed appearance that women everywhere are being drawn to has evolved into sleek and chic with the chunky sandal. These shoes, though intimidating at first, can be worn with anything from dresses to denim shorts or boyfriend jeans. If you are into the trendy, fearless, hipster look, then these shoes are sure to be a summer favorite of yours.

The backpack purse: Even though school is out for the summer, backpacks are most definitely still in. A leather satchel-styled purse with attached backpack straps is a convenient and cute way to spice up any outfit. Varying in color and size, these bags are perfect for everyday use and they are a great item to have not only in the summer, but also all year-round!
