With the warm weather now here and hotter weather on the horizon, it's the perfect time to do a closet refresh with a special focus on the staple pieces you are likely to wear the most. When doing my own refresh, I look to prioritize pieces that are effortless while still adding an elevated feel to my outfits. It's always a bonus if they are easy to mix and match, making for easy dressing in the morning.

This includes classic options like linen pants and white dresses as well as fashion-forward picks like sleek sandals and elegant shorts. Ahead, you'll find six key warm-weather essentials that I swear by as an editor with high standards along with visual outfit inspiration on how to style each piece.
