7 Summer Investment Pieces Every Woman Should Own

Aside from your basic summer capsule wardrobe, there are a few investment pieces that should complete every woman’s fashion collection. There are a few reasons why you should splurge when it comes to your summer closet. The first is quality. A quality piece is something that you’ll never have to replace. You’ll be able to wear it time and time again. The second reason is because the investment pieces we’re going to be discussing are timeless and classic. This means they will never go out of style, and can be worn for years to come.

I’m sharing my 7 favorite summer investment pieces below, as well as a breakdown of each piece.

7 Investment Pieces for Summer that Every Woman Should Own

1. Sunglasses

First up is a quality pair of sunglasses. Most of us spend our summers living in our sunglasses so it would only make sense to splurge on an exceptional pair. Designer sunglasses often offer better UV protection, are made with higher quality lenses that reduce glare, are more durable, and are usually more scratch resistant.

2. Blazer

A great, designer blazer is a key investment piece. Blazers are such versatile pieces that can be worn with just about anything. They can be taken from morning to night, thrown over dresses and skirts, or paired with pants and shorts. A designer blazer will most likely have a better fit and won’t go out of style, which is why I’m including it as an essential summer investment piece.

3. Sandals

Like sunglasses, we also tend to live in our sandals throughout summer. Quality sandals are an investment that for me is worth the splurge. A prime pair of designer sandals can quite literally last you a lifetime, if taken care of properly. One of my favorite classic pairs from Saint Laurent is listed below.

4. Swimsuit

A swimsuit may not be the most obvious summer investment piece, but I’m including it because an excellent swimsuit can be a summer staple. If you find a classic and quality swimsuit, it can be worn not only to swim in, but also worn around the pool or beach under palazzo pants or cutoffs. Think wide brim hat and designer sandals.

5. Raffia Bag

To me, a raffia bag just exudes summer style. Designer raffia bags are durable, chic, and most will retain value, which makes them one of the 7 summer investment piece that every woman should own. Some of my current favorite splurge-worthy bags are listed below. Also, see my other blog post: Summer's Hottest Bag: The Loewe Basket Bag for more summer bag inspiration.
