7 Summer Essentials Everyone Should Own

Every now and then a brand comes along that’s so impressive, it’s hard to believe. Season after season, year after year, Spanx continues to design some of the best, most well-priced and size-inclusive pieces in the marketplace. Spanx was always a go-to brand for me, ever since my days as a Nordstrom Stylist. Fast forward to now, and everybody’s still wearing something by Spanx. In particular, pants and denim, as well as newer styles like the dress I’m wearing above. It just keeps getting better and better!

For many of us, Spanx is a household name when it comes to shapewear. I don’t know about you, but it’s hard to imagine getting dressed without a piece or two! However, Spanx has evolved into a lifestyle brand with several collections you’ll see below. And, I love their powerful mission statement: “We think forward, and give back. We believe women can do anything. And together, we believe we will make the world a better place … one butt at a time!”

Today’s post is about some of my favorite Spanx pieces that are perfect any time of year. The newest drop includes new summer essentials, like this maxi dress and these new cargo pants. The stretch twill pants are super flattering and slimming, same with the jeans. Of course, they’re ideal for everyday life, and they come in all sizes. In particular, the AirEssentials Collection can be worn on casual days when you want to look stylish yet feel comfortable — and it’s also great for travel. These are essentials for all wardrobes, and I know you’ll love them as much as I do!

#1 New cotton poplin

You’ll love these new pieces from Spanx. The side tie dress fits nicely, and it’s available in a striped pattern, as well as in black and white. I highly recommend this one. I also found this new oversized button front shirt, and it’s available in several colors here. The quality is amazing, and and these are pieces you’ll wear all season long.
