As far as my wardrobe goes, I'm a lot more fun in the summer. In the winter, I wear a lot of neutrals and sweaters, whereas during the summer, I fill my wardrobe with color, pretty prints, and lots of trends. But that's not to say that I don't also shop for basics when it's warm out—I just try to keep them interesting.

For this fun (keyword) shopping roundup, I found 32 pieces that are versatile enough to pass as basics but that are also low-key trendy, including a linen blazer, a pair of balloon jeans, and a bright-colored button-down, among other items.

I don't know about you, but I'm currently feeling an urge to shop that I haven't felt in a while. As making plans has become a thing again, I've started thinking about outfits to wear to places besides the grocery store and for mirror selfies. So with that, scroll to shop the low-key trendy basics that I'd wear out in the world all summer long.

 

A blazer is a basic, but in linen, it is not.

Balloon jeans are the definition of low-key trendy.

I fully expect this to sell out soon.

Say hello to your most comfortable summer dress.

I think this cool seersucker top might be my next purchase.

I can think of so many ways to wear this easy shirt.

Sandals in a saturated hue? About it. 

The days of uncomfortable bustiers are over.

The perfect balance between trendy and timeless. 

These fit so well—I tell everyone to buy them.

If you're brave enough to wear jeans in the summer, they might as well be as cool as these.

You should probably prepare yourself for these to be sold out everywhere soon.

I'd consider swapping bike shorts for this.

All of your other white T-shirts are about to get jealous.

Details like the vibrant orange hue take this basic to trend territory.
