EFFORTLESS SUMMER – 6 LOOKS IM WEARING
I just came back to Barcelona from a few days of holiday in the Canary Islands, and I’m fully into the summer mood — even though in Barcelona we're not exactly there yet. But since I like to be ahead of everything all the time, I couldn’t help myself and started preparing the looks that will set the tone for the whole summer.
Questioning myself, I came to the conclusion that this summer must feel effortless in every sense. It should align with living in the moment and letting things breathe as they go—otherwise, I’ll lose my mind before the heat even starts.
So, for those who are as ready as I am to enjoy the warmer days, here are six different looks for summer that all revolve around the idea of looking effortlessly good, sexy, and put-together at the same time.
The main element in most of them is a basic item paired with statement pieces—a formula I’ve found infallible for achieving coherence in any look that also has an interesting twist. I broke down that concept more detailed in this post
It could be a leather bag, a thick belt, a scarf tied around the waist, white loafers, or even just the sleeves of a maxi dress.
I used to consume a lot of trends that looked amazing for a short period of time, but once summer ended and winter started, by the time the next summer came around, I no longer felt like wearing them. Now, I focus on pieces I know I’ll actually wear all summer long—not only because I’ve been developing my personal style and understanding myself better, but also thanks to the lessons I’ve learned from the mistakes I made in previous summers.
That said, I know the feeling of having a vision in mind but missing that one piece to bring it all together. I understand that sometimes it’s not that easy to complete the vibe when you’re missing a key piece in your wardrobe. I’m not pushing you to buy anything you don’t need, but if with the season changing you were already planning to add a few items to your closet, here are some pieces that could help you build these outfits. I found them online while doing some research, and I had to share them—I’m never gatekeeping this kind of information.
