Five Fabulous Summer Buys That Will Last Forever

Not all summer trends go out of fashion. If you're looking for something you can wear this and every July and August then check out these ageless summer buys.

Every summer new trends appear on the catwalk but some garments appear year in year out which makes them an investment purchase capable of lasting a lifetime.

At Her.ie HQ we adore anything that has an ageless quality and that is why we are bringing you our top five summer buys that will never go out of fashion.

1. Daisy Duke Shorts

Denim shorts make an appearance every summer without fail. They have firmly earned their place in the hall of summer style. Perfect for the beach or the bar, Daisy Duke shorts belong in every woman’s wardrobe. Dark and light denim options are available. We would team either with a loose top and cowboy boots or flip-flops for that “I didn’t make too much of an effort but I still look great” look.

2. Wedges

Wedges are the ultimate summer high heel. With an array of styles and colours, you are guaranteed to get a wedge that suits your style. The best thing about the wedge is that most of them have a platform that goes from the toe to the heel which means they aren’t necessarily as high as they look. It’s a win win for everyone!

3. Long Skirts

Skirts of any kind are great for the warmer months but long floaty ones have to be our preferred option. They truly go with anything from bikinis to vest tops to jumpers. And that’s without even mentioning their versatility with regards to footwear. Biker boots, flip-flops and heels are all compatible. It’s like a dream come true.

4. Sandals

Every wardrobe ought to have a good pair of sandals for the summer. While flip-flops are not everyone’s cup of tea, sandals have more variety and come without the thing that goes between your toes! You can get comfy everyday ones and sparkly ones for a fancy dinner or a night out.

5. White jeans

No longer a fashion faux pas, the white jean has made a major comeback in recent years. With everyone from Amanda Seyfried to Eva Longoria wearing them, they are a style investment worth undertaking. Dress yours up with a coloured blouse and heels, or dress down with a t-shirt and brogues.

Do you have a favourite piece of summer clothing that you whip out every year? Her.ie wants to know what it is and how you wear it.
