Update your basics and accessories
When it comes time to replace some of your basics, rather than picking out your tried and true colors and styles, why not try something new? If you need to buy new shorts, for instance, “try faded denim this summer – the lighter the better” explains Dourjé. He also explains that for men to look updated this season, make sure your shorts hit just above the knee, “and if they have belt loops, absolutely wear a belt.” While sneakers are great for any season, Dourjé suggests that if you normally wear them, “less is more, guys – canvas shoes are light on your feet, keep you cool, and look great right now.” For women, Dourjé suggests mules. Not only are they easy to style up or down, “they’ve been around for years – ask your mom, your grandmother, or even your great grandmother – they likely have had a pair!”
