Any self proclaimed cozy girl will tell you that the laid back look isn’t a trend but a lifestyle. Cozy gear transcends from the Zoom meeting to the streets and everywhere in between. Every fit has to have comfort at the forefront, down to the socks. Just because summer is here and the temperatures are rising, that doesn’t mean the cozy vibes stop. Although this summer is a little different with the ongoing pandemic, we all need cozy gear for those essential outings. Here, we break down 5 must-have cozy girl essentials to get you through this summer.

1 | COMFY SHORTS

Basketball shorts, sweat shorts, or any shorts that have an elasticized waistband to move with us. Make sure you search through the mens section to find some hidden gems. Jean shorts, who?

2 | BUCKET HATS

Bucket hats provide some much needed protection from the sun with an overall retro vibe. More affordable brands to luxury brands offer bucket hats to fit all budgets. Throw on a bucket hat to switch up your look.

3 | OVERSIZED TEES

Wear them as a dress or throw them over some shorts and boom, you have a whole look. Rummage through bae’s closet, go thrifting or search through the men’s section for some fire options.

4 | BIKER SHORTS

This should be a no brainer. You can opt for simple black ones or add a pop of color to your look through bold prints or bright hues. Pair your biker shorts with an oversized tee or a crop top for a variety of looks.

5 | TOTE BAGS

Tote bags are the most versatile and functional accessory for summer. Carry your essentials all while being hands-free. They can also serve as a shopping bag to carry your small grocery store pick ups.
