Each year, when all the summer clothing items hit the floor at my favorite stores, I usually like to grab a few fresh clothing items to have for the summer! I tend to gravitate towards neutral pieces that are pretty casual, and that can mix and match easily with the rest of my wardrobe. I don’t like to spend a lot, so I am always looking for more affordable options.
This year, I snagged a couple tops + bottoms, along with a pair of sandals, and wanted to share them in case you are looking for some affordable summer staple items, too!
The picture below shows some of the clothing options you’ll see in my Top 5 list. Affordable shopping places like Target, Kohls, and Old Navy!

1. Oversized Pocket Tee

A simple basic tee is always a great staple to have in your wardrobe. I always tend to get basic colors like black, white or grey because they can easily be paired with several outfits in many different ways, whether casual or dressed up a bit. The material is so soft and comfy! It is over-sized so keep that in mind!
2. High Waisted Shorts

These shorts are SO comfortable! Casual and dressy. I love the tie on the front and the style is very forgiving! They’re also a nice length and you can never go wrong with black!
3. Everyday V-Neck Shirt

Here’s another super affordable basic tee! Only $8 and comes in a variety of other colors. The length is also nice because you can tie it, tuck it, or simply leave it down and it looks good in all ways.
4. Single Band Slide Sandals

Slide sandals are some of my favorite because they are so easy to slide right on. A neutral color goes with lots of different outfits and styles. I know these are going to be a go-to for completing my summer outfits!
5. Button-Up Cover Up

A cover-up is a must for the beach/pool! This material is so, SO soft. It will be easy to dry after a day in the water. It does run a tad big, which I love! I’ve also seen people wear this as a normal shirt, too! Definitely versatile and you can’t go wrong with white! White is such a good color for the summer, but it also comes in hunter green and black.
You can’t go wrong with these basic summer staples. What I like about the basic t-shirts is that they can be worn all year long.
If you’re like me, then maybe you don’t like to really buy clothes for yourself. I don’t like to spend alot but I do like to buy fresh pieces every couple seasons. As a stay at home mom, my wardrobe is full of leggings and t-shirts, so these casual kinds of clothes I get lots of use out of!
Hope you found yourself a deal to snag for the summer!

All very cute!
