Amazon Clothing Pieces We'd Wear for All Occasions

Summer is the time for fun in the sun and a laid back attitude. But that doesn't mean we can dress in shorts and a tee everywhere we go. Even though we may just want to sit poolside all day, there are still birthday parties, weddings, family reunions, and other events that we may need to put a bit of effort into our outfit of the day for. Enter this list we've gathered of essential clothing pieces that work for any occasion this summer.

I appreciate a good list of clothing recommendations, especially for summer, because I need to know what works best for different body types. If it works for everyone then it will probably work for me too and we love to see that. It's also a huge plus if the pieces will hold up for this season and possibly more. These are staple pieces with longevity and at affordable prices, which means you and I are on our way to creating our wardrobes full of items for every occasion.

We hope you find these products as awesome as we do. Just an FYI: We are a participant in the Amazon affiliate program, and may receive a share of sales from links on this page. Prices on Amazon fluctuate so anything mentioned below might change as soon we publish it!
