Season after season we let ourselves be fooled by the clothes, prints and colors that are on trend, but what would we do without the basics? NOTHING. A perfect wardrobe is made up of versatile and combinable garments and accessories with which to create different looks. This includes having clothes that are a classic and that are distributed in parts of tops, bottoms, complete garments and accessories.
In autumn and winter we are clear that a white shirt, a jacket, jeans, boots and sweatshirts or sweaters must be nice or yes in our closet, and the same happens in summer. There are basic clothing and accessories that are key to having enough for all our outfits and that each season we must renew so that when combining we do not lack anything.
Although the list could be expanded considerably if we dive right in and choose the types of bags we "need", all the shoes, sandals and other essential footwear, costume jewelery … in reality, there are very few things you need to survive the summer . In fact, only 7. Don't you believe it? Keep reading.

Basic 3: 'little black dress'
Basic 3: 'little black dress'
Unique and irreplaceable garment all year round and also in summer. A black minidress is a classic that is good for everything and that is so ideal with high-heeled sandals than with sneakers or boots, as we see Rocío Osorno. There are as many styles as tastes: looser, narrower, with different necklines, fabrics … Feel free to wear it to go to work or to go out to dinner, and it looks just as good when we are already more tanned.

Basic 4: Denim Shorts
Basic 4: Denim Shorts
Shorts are also suitable for all styles, but if there is one type that is key every summer, it is denim shorts. This year, the 'jorts' type are especially worn, such as this one from Chiara with a high rise and with frayed hems, but also the paper bags, the longer and baggy shorts … They can be included in the more relaxed and informal look ( even to go to the beach) or in the most sumptuous playing with different top clothes and accessories. In this category you would also enter the denim miniskirts. We leave you more shorts ideas if you hate shorts.

Basic 5: pareo skirt
In this post we talk at length about pareo skirts and all their types , as well as the reasons why they are a timeless and irreplaceable basic for every summer. This midi pareo skirt by Alexandra Pereira is ideal for a very elegant look , like the one she proposes, but beware that with a top and sandals we would get a great look to go eat with friends at a beach bar for example. Its possibilities are endless and that is why we include them yes or yes in our selection.

Basic 6: A black bikini or swimsuit
The plain swimsuits and bikinis are also a success and give more play than it seems. In addition to being comfortable and safe both on those days when you look good, and on others when you are not convinced at all (it happens to all of us) , basic colored swimwear can also be used as a bodysuit or top , with blouses leaving it in sight and we can create different very cool looks with them.
We tell you why the black bikini is the most stylish and how it has to be so that you get the most out of your figure.

Basic 7: Comfortable Sandals
Basic 7: Comfortable Sandals
Whether flat, wedge or sensible heel, sandals are the most wearable and versatile footwear of the summer and that is why they should not be missing in a perfect wardrobe. Ideally, they should be in neutral colors (white, beige or black) so that we can combine them with everything and for all kinds of plans.
