The fantastic editors over at She Finds, the go-to site for online finds, have put together a list for Shop Therapy of what they think are this summer’s essential pieces.
1. A maxi dress
The vibrant, flowy look demands flat sandals, so with a no-heels policy, there truly is no option that’s more comfortable.

2. Nude flat sandals
They’ll go with everything in your summer wardrobe, and they’re comfortable to boot.

3. Little black jersey dress
These versatile dresses are easy to wear and effortless to accessorize for day or evening.

4. Sunglasses with personality
Oversized, aviator, ‘80s-style or embellished, find a pair of shades you really love – with any luck, they’ll be by your side for the rest of the season.

5. A summery tote
With its hobo shape (or lack thereof), you can stuff almost anything into American Apparel’s Cotton Canvas Tote.

6. Built-in bra tanks
We like to wear as few layers as possible in the summer – these tanks, like this thick-strapped one – can serve as outerwear and underwear for small- to medium-busted women.

7. Cheap, bright jewelry
Nothing says summer like a colorful, playful bauble you got for less than $30.

8. A straw clutch
Straw is so much more appealing than leather for a summertime going-out bag.

9. A not-quite-one-piece
With more coverage than a bikini but less than a one-piece, various forms of these cutout swimsuits have been showing up at all kinds of high-end and mass-market retailers.

10. A summer hat
With the sun beating down, don’t leave it to your SPF to protect your face and scalp –a cool hat will keep you burn and wrinkle-free through September.
