In case you have no idea what the summer solstice is, you're not alone, so let us explain. Summer solstice, in layman's terms, is basically when the sun is at its highest position in the sky, meaning that on this particular day, the sun shines for longer, and the day will likely be hotter. This year, summer solstice falls on June 21, meaning you have plenty of time to prep for this seasonal occurrence—and by prep, we mean your wardrobe, of course.

Since this date falls in summer, your warm-weather wardrobe could probably use a few updates. Here, we identified seven items that you will be wishing you already had on hand by June 21. Because if you are going to survive the increasing temperatures, you're going to want to do it in style.

Go on to find out the seven items that will help prepare you for the quickly approaching summer solstice.

DELICATE CAMISOLE

By summer, you're going to be more than ready to ditch your T-shirts for a breezy camisole. This top style pairs well with everything from jeans to shorts to lightweight midi skirts.

STATEMENT SUNNIES

When it comes to sunglasses, the more of a statement they make, the better. These days, we are loving white frames, '90s-inspired shapes, and bold cat eyes.

BREEZY DRESS

We've said it once, and we'll say it again—you can never have too many summer dresses. At this time of the season, be sure you are investing in styles that breathe to help you beat the summer heat.

FISHERMAN BAG

Since you've probably exhausted all your straw basket bags by now, it's time to swap it out for a dainty fisherman one. We love this trend because it lends a unique aspect to your look and is typically affordable.

VERSATILE SWIMSUIT

One-piece swimsuits can serve more than one purpose if you just let them. From being an actual bathing suit to a bodysuit to a makeshift top, one-pieces are the most versatile item of the summer, and there's no denying it. 

FLORAL SLIDES

Why wear normal pool slides when you can wear slides with flowers on them? Name a more iconic summer sandal style. We'll wait.

DENIM SHORTS

Just like jeans, denim shorts are a staple item you can never have too many pairs of. However, this time around, try to find a pair with a unique detail like two-tone pockets or a raw waistband.
