It happens every spring. One minute you’re still wearing your “I give up” winter hoodie, and the next your phone’s like, “Only 72 days until summer!” Meanwhile, your closet looks like it’s still mourning daylight savings time. Suddenly, you’re questioning everything: Where are my sandals? Do I even own a tank top that fits? And why did I buy three pairs of boots in February but not one summer dress?

If summer always catches you off guard, you’re not alone. But here’s the good news: you’ve still got time. Not a lot—but enough. Enough to scroll, save, and shop a few things before the good sizes disappear and we’re all stuck panic-ordering last-minute swimsuits again.

So before your summer calendar fills up with BBQs, trips, and hot days that call for more than just sweatpants and vibes—here’s what to add to cart now.

Grab our free Spring-to-Summer Wardrobe Essentials Checklist and find out which staples you’re missing (and which ones it’s time to let go of).
