I don’t know about you, but I’m ready for sunny days, pool parties, and barbecues. Warmer months are upon us, and it’s time to bust out the swimsuits, tank tops, and summer dresses. As someone who regularly hibernates through winter in sweatpants and a t-shirt, I’m glad it’s finally time to switch out of that mode for summer.
The older I get, the more I’m willing to get out of my comfort zone and wear things that make a statement. Because life’s too short, right? So here are a few pieces I’ve stumbled upon from Revolve in my quest to upgrade my summer wardrobe.

A Bold Button-Down
Who doesn’t love a bold statement piece? Crafted with a blend of linen and silk, this playful top combines sophistication with a touch of whimsy. The fabric is semi-sheer, so you may want to add a nude underlayer if you’re not too keen on things showing through. But whether paired with your favorite jeans for a casual brunch or dressed up with a skirt for an evening event, the options are endless to create a fun and flirty look.

A Breezy Brunch Dress
They say that clothes make the woman, and the Alex Pleated Cut Out Dress is the perfect example. I'm a fan of the flirty midriff slits that show just enough skin, and the pop of sophistication the button cuffs bring. Pair it with hoops and some killer heels, and it's the ultimate dress for occasions like a romantic dinner date or a fancy cocktail party.

A Glamorous Maxi Dress
The Tova Lame Dress is a total summer stunner. It’s nearly impossible not to show confidence (and skin) in this plunging neckline, criss-cross back straps, and thigh-high side slit. And I can’t get enough of the aqua blue–it definitely adds a pop of color to any wardrobe. It’s a timeless piece that embodies glamor and opulence. Be prepared to turn heads.

A Double-Duty Swim Coverup
The Landis Open Stitch Midi Dress by L'Academie is a summer must-have. Why? Because it doubles as a swim coverup and a sexy statement piece for hot summer nights. Made to be intentionally sheer, this piece provides an opportunity to show off your best swimwear (or lingerie, depending on your taste) and was designed to flatter your natural curves with fabric that clings in just the right places. The keyhole in front is a nice touch as well, which makes for easier dressing for this pull-on style. If you're tired of the shirt-style swim coverup and want an option that transitions well from beach or pool to lunch or brunch, look no further.

A Versatile Midi Skirt
Summer is the time to embrace color, and the Green Thea skirt from Tularosa (available in shades of lilac and soft yellow) is a versatile and sustainable way to do that. Made with 100% organic cotton in Portugal, this pull-on midi skirt is lightweight and pairs well with a variety of tops to make it suitable for everything from a beach day to dinner to even more formal occasions, like weddings and showers. The elastic waistband means you'll have some wiggle room if you're in between sizes, too. Paired with some strappy heels and a crop top, this piece lends some romantic softness to an outfit with its pastel colorways and jersey-style fabric. Or, if you don't want to think about what to pair this with, there is top available as well to make it a matching set.

A Statement Swimsuit
Embrace the Barbiecore trend this summer with the Jojo one piece swimsuit from Lovers & Friends. With a knotted accent in front and a small cutout, this suit shows some skin, but not everything. You can also pair it with high-waisted jeans for a fitted crop top look, leaving the lower portion of the suit unseen. Who doesn't love a swimsuit that passes as a bodysuit? I also like that the cut of this particular swimsuit is fairly modest, but the low back cutout allows for plenty of full-back sun exposure in the areas a traditional bikini would not.
