Mom-Approved Summer Staples<\/p>\n

Since becoming a mom, I don’t get much rest on summer vacation, and to be honest, I wouldn’t have it any other way. Between having active kids who are up for anything and those guilt-inducing Instagram reels reminding me I only have eighteen summers with them, I aim to fill those two months with as much fun as possible. Since I need to be ready to move in the heat and humidity, I aim to dress in lightweight clothes like linen tops<\/a> and pants<\/a>, sweat-wicking dresses<\/a>, and comfortable sneakers<\/a> to keep me light on my feet.<\/p>\n

Those hot-weather staples were recently put to the test on an inaugural summer road trip to Disney World<\/a>. After taking 20,000 steps per day in the Florida heat, I can confidently say these are my new ride-or-die essentials for the summer. Keep scrolling to shop the mom-approved summer fashion that I count on in the heat.\u00a0<\/p>\n

I bought this mini dress<\/a> specifically to wear at Magic Kingdom, but I would also wear it to the playground or a graduation party. The fabric is buttery-smooth and flattering in the midsection. I also love that the high neck gives my sensitive decolletage a little protection from the sun. It has a flattering fit with an A-line skirt that isn’t too short, and it holds up well in the wash. To boot, I wore it on a 90-degree day, but stayed surprisingly cool and comfy.<\/p>\n

If you haven’t treated your feet to the truly cloud-like feel of the Adidas Cloudfoam Running Shoe<\/a> yet, you’ll have to take my word for it. They’re so lightweight and comfortable that there’s no breaking-in required. I trekked a total of 60,000 steps across three Disney parks in these shoes and my feet were completely ach- and blister-free. They’re on rare sale right now, so it’s a great time to snag a pair.<\/p>\n

This quilted Vera Bradley bag<\/a> is large enough to hold small essentials that you’ll want within reach, and it comes in a variety of beautiful colors and patterns to give any outfit extra pizzazz. The zipper closure, interior card slip pockets, and key loop keep your items organized.<\/p>\n

Breezy palazzo pants like this linen pair are my favorite warm-weather pants. I love to throw on a matching cropped tank or oversized blouse<\/a> for an easy and chic casual ‘fit. These come in dozens of colors and are under $25 a piece, so it’s worth buying a couple of pairs to wear throughout the season.<\/p>\n

To wear with coordinating linen pants, shorts, or a skirt, this linen tank top<\/a> is another fashion staple I’d stock up on. It’s currently half off and comes in an inclusive size range. Although it’s priced low, a shopper said<\/a> it’s of\u00a0 “great quality” and “super comfy for everyday wear.”<\/p>\n

When in doubt, I throw on a Free People top like this pretty eyelet tee<\/a>. The open embroidery is sure to feel airy and light in the heat, and the puff sleeves add a charming touch that also feels a bit dressy. I’d pair it with white jeans<\/a> for a monochromatic moment or wide-leg pants to keep it casual yet elegant.<\/p>\n

Gingham is trending for summer, and the classic print is particularly pretty in an easter-egg pastel option on these pants<\/a>. They have hidden side pockets and a relaxed fit, and a customer loved<\/a> that the waistband is “stretchy and not tight.” The best part? They’re under $20 right now.<\/p>\n

Wearing flat sandals on walks can sometimes lead to aching feet, but that’s not the case with the Tory Burch Mini Miller Jelly Sandals<\/a>. I’ve worn this pair for the past three summers, and they’re still going strong. Their glam hardware and sleek design looks so polished, but they’ve never hurt my feet\u2014even on a long walk.
