When summer rolls around, I immediately become more fun, carefree, and charismatic—especially when it comes to my style. I'll always love my classics and elevated basics, but when the sun is out, the sky is blazing blue, and the days are long, I love to lean into pieces that exude main character energy. I'm talking about styles that ooze confidence, charisma, and radiance. Because why not?!
If you, too, want to live your summer with main character energy, then I have just the right statement pieces to wear that are as joyful as they are chic. Think bold prints, vibrant colors, and striking silhouettes that will incite all the compliments and—most importantly—make you feel great. Keep scrolling for the gorgeous feel-good pieces to add to your wardrobe this summer.
