Where to Shop for High Quality Summer Wardrobe Staples

MY TOP TEN!!!!! 

I don’t know about you guys, but I am so over paying for polyester clothing, especially to wear in the summer!!

I cannot stand feeling over heated– like it will ruin my mood lmao, so avoiding dressing in literal plastic is the best thing I can do to stay cool 😎

So where are we getting our high quality cotton & linen summer staple clothes?? I’ll start from least to most expensive. 

Okay first up, OLD NAVY!! Sometimes I forget about them, but they really do have some great quality basics in natural fibers for very affordable prices!! 

Don’t sleep on them, get to your local old navy girrrl

100% basic cotton tee for $10? YUP!
okay these pants are a linen and rayon blend, but $35 soo I'd make an exception!
100% cotton T-shirt dress to throw on.. also $10!!
100% cotton skirt... under $30!!

 

Next, Brandy Melville, which I know due to their “one-size” aka size 0-4, not everyone can shop here, which I don’t agree with :/!!

Buttt I do love my basics from them. They’re high quality, typically 100% cotton, & very affordable. 

Love their linen pants!!
Basic T
good quality boxer short
Basic boat neck top

 

Next, and possibly best of both worlds when it comes to quality and affordability… QUINCE!! I think their styles are a bittt mature looking (cause I’m a 28 year old teenager), but hey you’ll look classy & never age out of them!

I am particularly impressed with their cotton and linen basics. I mean those 100% linen shorts are $29.90!!!! *immediately adds to cart**

Affordable matching set!!
v obsessed with this if you have the silhouette for it
Looooove
cute top that could go with anything all summer

 

Next on the list… Abercrombie & Fitch of course!! I will say, I read all of the material details because some of their styles are cotton or linen blends, so some things are more worth your money than others!

Also, they have a ton of sales year round, so I try not to buy anything full price from them. 

Cutie dress for vaycay
more summer pants!
A&F has cute swim suits rn!!
This is my favorite basic white tee-- 100% cotton & $19!

 

A classic I keep coming back to time and time again… Madewell!! I find their pieces that are indeed 100% cotton and linen are worth the price!! They also tend to have a sales around the year!

Matching set alert!!
I just find this so cute!
Another matching set 🙂
Perfect white summer jean!

 

Aritzia is a great place to shop for basics! But again, I would just pay attention to the material make up to see if it’s worth the price tag!! I prefer to shop here in person, but they only have stores in big cities :/

Love this skort!
Perfect throw-on dress
Cute bubble dress
Great white cotton tops!

 

Everlane also carries very classic, high quality summer staple pieces!

Perfect cotton Midi skirt...No notes!!
Loving these linen cargo pants!
Pretty open back drop-waist dress!
Perfect Summer dress...with pockets!!

 

Anthro!! You all know her!!

These pants look so comfy!
Cotton blend, but so cute!
100% cotton short sleeve sweater

 

Dissh: bit of a more niche store. Australian brand serving high end looks in natural fibers… their stuff is giving high class!!

Personalllly on my wishlist
GORG!
Perfect throw on dress
so cute, yet effortless

 

Okay last, but not least, but certainly most expensive lol… Reformation!

Personally loveee reformation, but understand the price point is not ideal! They do focus highly on making quality 100% linen and cotton pieces though, so worth getting a few staples if you’re in the market. 

Love these linen capris... v on trend, yet classic!
Classic knit top, mostly cotton, under 70!
They really do have the prettiest summer dresses!!
& sets!

As always, happy shopping!! Be responsible out there lol
