Some of our favourite wardrobe essentials include casually chic crop tops, vibrant midi-skirts, and breezy maxi dresses. Oh, and those uber-cool denim shorts and co-ord sets - how could we miss them? We have curated a list of 10 summer wardrobe essentials which we feel are a must-have to look like a fashionista in the scorching summer heat.

1. Casual Tops
As days get warmer, tank tops and crop tops make their way to the summer fashion essentials wardrobe. Honestly, we cannot go about the balmy days without them. They occupy no space and come in handy to pair with a lot of bottoms. From turtlenecks to halters, and more - they come in a variety of neck styles, you just name it.
2. Skirts
Skirts are something that instantly up your fashion game. They are easy to put on and also give you room to create your formal, artsy, or just a casual look with skirts of different lengths and fabrics - as per your mood. Keep it casually classic with straight fits or go overboard with tulle or organza numbers.
3. Denim Shorts
You can't deny the ease a pair of denim shorts bring to your closet. Whether you prefer cuffed, distressed, high-waisted, or vibrant colours, denim shorts are a key element of summer dressing.
4. Flared Dresses
Fit and flare dresses are a great highlight of the summer closet. As the name suggests, they are fitted at the waist and beyond that, the fabric flares out and away from the body, making it look chic and elegant.
5. Wide-Leg Pants
Wide-leg pants have become the new definition of casual dressing. Skinny-fit jeans have lost their charm among people and the wide-legged numbers are getting all the possible attention. Wide-leg chinos, wide-leg denim, as well as palazzo-style pants, are some of the options available for you. Style them with your favourite crop tops and voila.
6. Floral Prints
The next essential that we feel your summer wardrobe must have is florals. They are not the trend but a staple. Florals are happy prints and ooze out a lot of positivity and comfort, absolutely perfect for the weather. You can slip into a floral dress for a brunch date with girlfriends, or grab a floral tee for a day out and florals for beaches will forever be the go-to boho look. Let's just say floral prints and summers go hand in hand.
7. Jumpsuits
Don't worry, we are obviously not missing out on jumpsuits this summer season. The best part about jumpsuits is that you can easily dress them up or dress them down in no time. In order to make a no-drama fit party ready, all you need is chunky accessories like a statement neckpiece, big hoops, a stack of bracelets and bangles, and a pair of high heels and you are all set to steal the show. You can also take some inspiration from Rakul Preet Singh and pick a snazzy strapless number.
8. Co-Ord Sets
Co-ords are a summer favourite. This new-age clothing comes with unique crop tops with matching shorts, or skirts. You can also add a bralette underneath and layer it with an uber-cool blazer to jazz up the fashion outing. From monochrome styles like Sara Ali Khan to Alaya Furniturewalla's tie-dye print, there is a co-ord set for every occasion.
9. Shirt Dresses
Struggling to find the right piece of clothing which is in sync with the weather? The one-stop for all such fashion woes: a bunch of white dresses. From cotton midis to oversized fits - this summer stay cool, comfy and chic. Slaying such off-duty looks is a summer mood and who better than Janhvi Kapoor to give us that inspiration? The actress makes a chic case for a classic white shirt dress and we are bowled over by those effortless aesthetics.
10. Kurta Sets
Wardrobes seem incomplete without trendy ethnic wear. Easy breezy kurta sets in pastel, as well as vibrant hues with minimalistic design, is all we need to win the traditional game.
