Summer Essentials for Your Wardrobe

Basic White Tops

Whether you’re looking for a new tee or a cute top to pair with shorts, there are tons of great options when shopping in Gainesville. Consider heading to Gainesville’s best shopping destination, Celebration Pointe, where you’ll find a range of apparel at shops like Palmetto Moon and Tommy Hilfiger. In addition to cool white tops, go for lighter, more breathable fabrics to keep you cool all summer long. For men, try a slim-fit stretch polo that exudes iconic style and goes with nearly everything. For women, smocked eyelet tops are trending now. They’re comfortable and easy to style with jeans or shorts.

Bottoms

Bottoms like shorts, pants, and skirts are always a good option, especially when purchased in breathable fabrics like cotton, nylon, polyester, rayon, linen, and others. Whether shopping for men or women, choose your length and dress them up or down depending on the occasion. 

Dresses

Ah, the summer dress. Tiered, flowy dresses are popular right now, and they’re perfect for a summer wedding or brunch with friends. Check out classic options from Tommy Hilfiger or smocked floral finds from Palmetto Moon. When in doubt, go for a dress in your favorite summer hue and you’ll be set for a day or night out.

Summer’s Best Accessories

Nothing says summer quite like the accessories you pair with your favorite warm-weather outfits. Hats and sunglasses add style and make the hot weather bearable, and jewelry pieces tie it all together.  

Hats

A great summer hat is essential for protecting your face and head from the sun while also adding a stylish touch to your look. Choose a style you love, whether it be trucker hats, snapbacks, Panama hats, wide-brimmed beach hats or visors. Check out Tommy and Palmetto Moon where you’re sure to find a style or two you can’t live without. 

Jewelry & Watches

Prefer dainty and delicate pieces or big and bold statement jewelry? The right accessories can really take your outfit up a notch. Choose one style or mix and match for a fun vibe. Whether it’s beautiful pieces of women’s jewelry like elegant bracelets and signature necklaces, or any number of styles from rugged to sleek for men, adding a little summertime sparkle to your look just got more fun. 

Sunglasses

Love changing up your look? Do it easily with a pair of sunglasses. The right look paired with your face shape can make you feel your best. Choose from aviator looks, bold celebrity-style shades, surfer styles, and more with popular brands like Costa Del Mar, Knockaround, Blenders and Tommy, and start enjoying your time out in the sun.
