Lately, I’ve been trying to be more intentional about the pieces I add to my closet. So when it came time to refresh my summer wardrobe, I turned to stylist Liz Teich of The New York Stylist for her expert advice. Not only did she recommend seven staple, on-trend pieces to have on deck this season, but she did so while keeping versatility, comfort, and quality in mind.
From breathable pants to wedding guest essentials, Teich’s capsule wardrobe must-haves will make getting dressed an absolute breeze this season (in more ways than one). Below, shop styles at Amazon that correspond with this fashion expert’s summer-ready picks starting at just $12.

When she’s curating her capsule wardrobe, Teich often looks to the streets of New York City for inspiration, and this season, white skirts have reigned supreme. “I saw so many women wearing sweaters and sweatshirts with full white skirts this early spring, so I added a white dress with a full skirt into my wardrobe,” Teich says.
Try the trend by snagging this maxi dress from The Drop that reviewers call “the perfect summer house dress” while it’s 25 percent off.

If skirts aren’t your style, Teich recommends a wide-leg or loose pant in “either linen or a crisp cotton stripe” for summer. Not only are the breezy bottoms a “great addition to everyone's capsule,” according to the stylist, but there’s no shortage of silhouettes to choose from. Style a “dressier” wide-leg trouser for hot summer commutes to the office or throw on a more “casual” palazzo pant, like this on-sale option from Amazon, for a weekend trip to the beach.

An accessory Teich is adding to all of her clients’ wardrobes this season? Belts. “I'm shocked [by] how many people don't have one — it's the easiest way to accessorize, make an outfit, and… [emphasize] your waist for a flattering look.” If you already own your fair share of belts, Teich recommends refreshing your collection with a fun snakeskin print. This option from Amazon is available in sizes XS to large, and right now, you can grab it for just $12 with a coupon.

Speaking of accessories, tote bags have been all the rage among celebrities this year, and summer is the perfect time to hop on the bandwagon. Teich is especially a fan of intricate woven styles, like this on-sale option from Amazon. Available in 17 vibrant and neutral shades, this carryall bag has racked up hundreds of five-star ratings thanks to its “soft and buttery” feel and “roomy” yet “lightweight” design. Pack this tote full of essentials for a trip to the beach or bring it from work to happy hour.
Pretty Garden Backless Halter Dress

Of course, Teich couldn’t discuss summer fashion without mentioning her go-to wedding guest look. “If I were to go to a wedding this season, I'd probably reach for a midi or maxi low-back halter dress,” she says, emphasizing that the versatile style is fitting for both formal events and casual outings alike.
Take the style for a spin with this halter neck maxi dress that comes in 22 colors and patterns, including solid black and red floral. Reviewers appreciate that it’s lightweight enough to wear during “85-degree” summer weddings, and many call the halter style “super flattering.”

When it comes to wedding guest shoes, Teich prioritizes practicality. “There’s no need to suffer when there are comfortable options that are also stylish out there,” she says. She advises grabbing heeled platform sandals, like this lightweight pair from Amazon, for events and dressier occasions.
Available in sizes 6 to 11 and five neutral shades, these sandals are “easy to pack” and don’t require a break-in period, according to reviewers. One buyer even wore them while walking “eight miles a day” on vacation without any pain.

If you’re stuck on what to wear to the office this summer, Teich has some solutions. To capitalize on the “corp core” style that’s currently trending, she suggests dressing down the “corporate items in your closet” with casual staples like blouses or sneakers. These ’90s-esque Bermuda shorts serve as a buildable base for warm-weather office outfits. They’re available in 20 colors, including hot pink and classic white, so you might want to nab a few pairs.
