"Today marks the unofficial start of summer, dolls, which means it&amp;#x27;s time to do some reconnaissance in your closet to make sure you&amp;#x27;re dressed for the fabulous season of fun ahead. Check out our top 8 essentials for a super-chic summer--and let us know how many of &amp;#x27;em you already have!--after the jump. #1: Versatile shorts: I live in my denim cutoffs from June &amp;#x27;till September; Whitney Port swears by a cuffed pair from her own collection. Find some neutral shorts that can be dressed up or down, and they&amp;#x27;ll be your best basic all summer long: #2: Comfy flip flops: You don&amp;#x27;t have to wear &amp;#x27;em everywhere this summer (outdoor weddings are still sacred!), but there&amp;#x27;s no better choice for the beach, pool, and running errands when it&amp;#x27;s hot out: #3 A Little White Dress: You&amp;#x27;ll come to rely on this summer staple as much as you do your LBD in the winter--dress it up with statement jewelry and heels for al fresco fiesta, wear it with a cardigan and flats for weekend brunch: #4 Sexy wedges: The easiest way to add inches without teetering around on stilettos? Wedges! An espadrille or a pair made with a cork or wooden sole look especially summery: #5 A perfect-fit swimsuit: We promise, there&amp;#x27;s one out there that&amp;#x27;s ideal for your shape! Check out our fabulous guide to help you find one you love, then rock it with confidence all summer long: Sign up for Glamour.com&amp;amp;#8217;s Style Tips of the Week and Beauty Tip of the Day newsletters! #6 A great schlepper tote: During the carefree summer months, you never know where a weekend afternoon may take you. Be prepared with sunscreen, a hat, an extra clean white T-shirt--and stash it all in a cute straw or neutral tote that goes with everything in your wardrobe: #7 Cotton tees in every color: Tissue-thin cotton T-shirts can be layered one on top of another, worn under cardigans for cool summer nights, over swimsuits as a cover-up, or with jeans and flats for a no-thinking-required casual outfit. Find an affordable one you really love (Banana Republic&amp;#x27;s tees are my personal fave), then scoop it up in every color it comes in: #8 White jeans: They&amp;#x27;ve really become a year-round staple, but if you&amp;#x27;re a stickler for old school rules, today marks your official okay to wear &amp;#x27;em.
