Having a comfortable and flattering pair of denim shorts is essential for the summer months, and the Agolde Vintage Shorts are one of my favorites. With their perfect length and flattering fit, they’re sure to become a go to in your wardrobe as well. The faded blue wash and uncut hem give them a vintage look that’s both on trend and timeless. Because of this, they are a perfect addition to your May wardrobe.

Essential Spring Dresses
Crocheted Sleeveless Midi Dress + Navy Linen Minidress
Summer is the perfect time to update your wardrobe with essential dresses that are both comfortable and stylish. A beige crocheted midi dress is a versatile choice that can be dressed up or down. Additionally, crochet is a trend that never goes out of style. A linen mini dress is also a must have for the warmer months, as linen will keep you cool while looking chic. The navy color is particularly flattering and will add a touch of sophistication to your May wardrobe.
May Swim Essentials
Navy Hunza G Swimsuit + Navy Sarong + Varley Beige Swimsuit
With summer just around the corner, it’s time to start thinking about swimwear essentials. A classy one piece swimsuit is a timeless choice that will never go out of style, and the Navy Hunza G Swimsuit and Varley Beige Swimsuit are two of my favorites. These swimsuits are not only flattering but also perfect for summer beach vacations and Memorial Day celebrations. To complete your beach look, don’t forget to add a chic sarong to your collection. It’s the perfect cover up for lounging in the sand or grabbing lunch by the shore.
May Accessories
Baseball Cap + Convertible Crossbody Bag + Anine Bing Navy Sunglasses
Summer is the perfect time to refresh your accessories, adding the perfect finishing touch to any outfit. From a classic pair of sunglasses to a chic baseball hat and a classy handbag, there are so many options to choose from. One of my favorite accessories for May is the JW Anderson Denim Ball Cap because it’s high quality and versatile, perfect for wearing to the beach or a Memorial Day BBQ. For a versatile handbag that can be worn with any outfit, I recommend this cream crossbody bag. Also, a classic pair of black sunglasses are a must have for any summer wardrobe.
Sunscreen and Makeup Essentials
Kopari Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF 30 + LAWLESS Forget the Filler Lip Plumper
May is the perfect time to refresh your sunscreen and makeup essentials, and there are two products that I absolutely love. The Sun Shield Soft Glow Daily Face SPF by Kopari is my go to face sunscreen for summer because it moisturizes without leaving any sticky residue. Also, for a summer ready makeup look, I can’t live without this Lip Plumper by LAWLESS. This is because it always makes my lips look glossy and plump, perfect for a day at the beach or a summer night out.
