Red Lip Society

The official start of Summer is next week! I don’t know about you, but living in the southern part of the USA, due to the humidity, it can be hard to want to wear anything other than a tank-top and athletic shorts. But here at The Red Lip Society, that is not the look we are going for…..even when we are melting in Nashville.

I’ve compiled a list of pieces for you that will help you as you are building your capsule wardrobe. Many of the pieces I am linking to are neutral colored pieces because it is easier to pull together different looks when your staple pieces will go with most anything.

Click the links below to shop! (All the links are for Amazon since Prime Day is this weekend.)

Depending on where you live, you may never need a denim jacket (comes in five different washes), but it is always good to have a one in your wardrobe just incase you encounter a cool evening.

Breathable fabric is essential during summer and nothing breathes quite like linen. Linen pants are a great addition and, dare I say, a necessity. I own this pair of linen shorts and I love them! They fit great.

Speaking of shorts, here is another pair from a brand that I have had great experiences with on Amazon. You need to own a pair that are more tailored. Athleisure wear is not for every occasion.

This linen shirt is actually a cover-up, but I wear it all the time and have shared it before on my Instagram and on the LikeToKnow.it app. If you are looking for one that is a little more structured, this one is a great option. (Don’t judge this last one by how they have styled it on the page. You will feminize it up a bit.) I love this blue and white striped shirt!

I went for a walk last week here in Nashville and I thought I was going to have to call my husband to come get me. It was that HUMID out! There are just some days down here in the South that sleeves just won’t do. Grab yourself a sleeveless shirt. Here is another great option. This shouldn’t be something you would wear to the gym, but should be a more structured item.

Jumpers (or rompers depending on where you are from) are a nice easy option for when it’s hot as long as they are breathable. This one has great reviews! Here is a sleeveless linen one that would be a great option on those triple digit days.

On days where we can stand to wear denim, jeans like these white high-rise tappered jeans or these white high-rise straight legged jeans will always be in style.

A good t-shirt. This isn’t a shirt you wear to the gym. The t-shirt you are looking for would be great with tailored shorts or paired with a pair of white jeans like the ones linked above. Again, this is a more structured and quality item. Here is another option.

You need good light-weight blazer. It can be thrown over a plain tee or sleeveless top to instantly up the level of your outfit. I have this one in white and I know I have linked it before, but I still love it!

Long flowy dresses! How would we get through summer without you! This eyelet maxi is beautiful and comes in several different colors that could be considered a neutral in your wardrobe. Here is an A-line maxi with a ruffled hem that would be another great option.

These are just a few items to help you be ready for any occasion that summer may throw at you. Don’t forget that this weekend is Prime Day over on Amazon as well as Father’s Day weekend here in the US. In case you missed it, I compiled a list of possible gifts for the Dad in your life here.

Be sure to drop by RLS next Friday as we discuss shoes for summer! Thanks for stopping by! XOXO – Scarlett
