Fashion has never been my thing. While, yes, I did go to fashion school, and my friends would say I have good style, my closet frustrates me most of the time. After a mini breakdown where I realized I no longer liked any of my summer clothes, I took myself shopping. I perused Zara, Aritzia and H&M, but the only fashions that caught my interest were from Mango.
I was able to completely revamp my summer wardrobe thanks to Mango at Nordstrom. With their trendy yet timeless and relatively affordable pieces, I feel like I’m set for years. Plus, I can now confidently enjoy what I’m wearing this summer. To help you feel the same about your summer closet, I’m sharing the 11 items I can’t wait to wear on repeat. Keep scrolling to discover your new favorite brand.
11 Mango Pieces That Refreshed my Summer Wardrobe
1. The Most Reliable Basic: I used to live in lace camisoles growing up. Mango’s version sophisticates the basic and brings it into adulthood with the ultra-soft ribbed bodice and stretchy lace straps. I wear this on its own, but it’s also great for layering.
2. Fashion-Forward Tee: The eye-catching, crinkly edges give this simple tee a major upgrade. Choosing this design over a basic T-shirt is an easy way to spice up jeans, shorts and everything in between.
3. New Age Peplum: Remember how peplum tops were so popular in the late 2000s? Well, they’re back! This delicate smocked design is incredibly flattering and helps minimize your midsection.
4. Seaside Dreams: If your goal is to enjoy a calming coastal summer, make sure this breezy casual button up is in your closet. It screams New England living for under $50.
5. Denim Days: No summer wardrobe is complete without reliable jean shorts. This pair features a playfully distressed hem for a vintage, lived-in effect.
6. You Mean Business: My dream is to never step foot in an office in the summertime. Until that becomes a reality, I’m wearing these elegant slim slacks to work since they look prim and proper yet feel like sweats.
7. Be Bold: I never considered wearing a denim top until I laid my eyes on this unique design. The denim-linen blend makes it lightweight enough for summer while the collared silhouette and flared hem prove that denim can be a little dressy.
8. Disco Time! In an effort to add more color to my closet, I bought this groovy printed mini skirt. Since this is a standout piece, the rest of your outfit can be simple — a white tank and sandals fully ties the look together.
9. Mom Shorts: Nothing beats comfortable pull-on shorts. This chambray pair looks like jeans but feels more like your cushiest workout shorts.
10. Best of the Best: Few brands make shorts quite like Mango. I ended up buying multiple styles because the fits are always true to size. These white denim shorts are a no-brainer purchase. I love the pleated front, a design element that’s unexpected for jeans.
11. Sundress Heaven: I’m a sucker for a red sundress. This one has a more modest top for those who like to keep their shoulders covered.
