by HULA Marketing on May 12, 2025
As the sun shines brighter and the days grow longer, it’s time to revamp your wardrobe with HULA's Sun Kissed Collection. Whether you're hitting the beach, attending outdoor parties, or simply enjoying a sunny day in the city, having the right essentials can elevate your look and keep you comfortable. Here’s a guide to the must-have items for a cool girl summer.
Must-have Dresses
Dresses are a summer staple that effortlessly blend style and comfort, and for 2025, butter yellow is the must-have color. Opt for lightweight fabrics like cotton or linen for breathability, ensuring you stay cool. Embrace this vibrant color to brighten your wardrobe and elevate your summer style.
Alternatively, opting for neutral colors like beige and grey can create a timeless summer look.
Matching Sets
Matching sets are a go-to for effortless summer style. From coordinated tops and shorts to chic pants, these ensembles make getting dressed a breeze. Look for neutral colours that can be mixed and matched with other pieces in your wardrobe. They provide a polished yet relaxed vibe, perfect for brunch with friends or a day out.
Lightweight Layering Jackets
Even in summer, a lightweight jacket is essential for those cooler evenings, and layering can take your style to the next level. The classic denim jacket remains a staple, while a collared dress shirt can act as a stylish outer layer. Opt for a slightly oversized collared shirt to create a relaxed look, pairing it with a lightweight bomber or an oversized blazer for added warmth. This combination not only provides structure but also adds depth to your outfit, allowing for a polished yet casual look.
Bags
A stylish tote bag can complete any summer outfit. Textured bags, such as woven, intrecciato, or raffia, are perfect for adding a touch of charm to your look. These bags not only enhance your style but also provide ample space for your essentials.
Shoes
When it comes to summer footwear, versatility is key. Slides and sandals are a must for easy slip-on comfort, while trendy espadrilles add a touch of elegance.
Accessories
Accessories can transform any look, and summer is the perfect time to experiment. Statement earrings, layered necklaces, and colorful bracelets can add personality to your outfits. Don’t shy away from fun hair accessories like headbands or scrunchies to keep your hair stylishly in place during hot days. Remember, less is more—choose a few standout pieces to elevate your look.
Sunglasses
No summer outfit is complete without the perfect pair of sunglasses, especially those with bold frames and a pop of color. These statement pieces not only protect your eyes but also enhance your style. Opt for oversized frames or geometric shapes that draw attention and add an edgy flair.
This summer, embrace your cool girl status by curating a collection of stylish essentials that reflect your personality. With the right dresses, shoes, bags, sets, jackets, accessories, and sunglasses, you’ll be ready to tackle any summer adventure in style. So, get out there, soak up the sun, and showcase your unique fashion sense all season long!
