Summer has officially commenced with a hot and sunny Memorial Day Weekend. Now that we are approaching warmer days and nights, let's be honest: who wants to wear anything heavy, complex and difficult to put on? One of summer's highlights is in throwing on a light, airy summer dress and calling it a day (or night). The ability to look and feel your best with a summer glow in an adorable and light-fabric outfit is a must! We put together a list of your Summer Wardrobe Essentials, but before you head out to purchase these must-haves at full-priced retail value, check out Greene Street's selection ;)

lace-up sandals
Duh! Every brand from Dr. Scholl's to Steve Madden has a version of these summer '16 must-have sandals. Not only can these transform your look into that of a summer Greek Goddess, but they're super light and simple. You can wear them at the market running errands, to the beach or on a date night. Their versatility is their best aspect next to their leg-slimming abilities. Lace-Ups are officially this summer's go-to shoe.
off-the-shoulder top or dress
Easy-peasy-summer-breezy. The off-the-shoulder style can be worn in oh-so-many ways and yet the simplicity of it is sort of timeless. It was a big trend in the 90's and now we are seeing its revival. Throw an off-the-shoulder top on with some denim cutoffs and a pair of those lace-up sandals and you're SET. Opt for an off-the-shoulder shift dress for a romantic, flirty look that's perfect for summer.
bohemian romper
It's impossible to not see these everywhere. A cotton romper is one thing, but a flowy, embroidered, romantic romper is a whole other story. When packing for vacation at a close-by beach or even at the Caribbean- a romper is an essential for summer. From bathingsuit cover-up to an outfit in ONE garment, every woman needs (at least) one for summer!
wrap skirts
Easy to get into and out of, dress up or dress down, but hands-down the best part about a wrap skirt is that it always fits. Sometimes you feel bloated or uninterested in squeezing into any material at all (pants? forget it), but with a wrap skirt you can always adjust the material to fit how you feel. Pair it with white tennis shoes or sandals, heels or flats and you've got yourself a really easy, go-to summer essential.
