Seven ways to add safari-inspired basics to your wardrobe

1. Look for a safari jacket

Show off your powerful side in a menswear-inspired piece like this classic jacket — it’s a true fashion icon. Look for tailored cuts with details like patch pockets and epaulettes. Dress it up with linens or dress it down with khakis and leather accessories.

2. Button up a shirt dress

Say hello to the go-to look of the season. This style is so easy to wear — just add a statement belt and strappy heels, and you’re ready to roll!

3. Slip on some cargo pants

There’s nothing more comfortable than easy, worn-in fabrics, especially when they’re loose and layered. Be on the hunt for muted earthy tones, slouchy shapes and drawstring details.

Beauty note | Choose a bronzer that's two or three shades darker than your skin. Use a firm rounded brush and apply bronzer to your forehead, cheeks, nose and chin. Keep the rest of your makeup soft and subtle.

5. Stock up on anything linen

If there’s one item that defines summer dressing, it’s a linen shirt. We love a fitted look for work and an oversized one for play. Let’s face it, everybody should have at least two!
