Whitney Port Names Her Top 5 Essentials For Looking Cute This Summer

Olivia Palermo must be cowering in her cubicle right about now--Whitney Port's clothing line, Whitney Eve, is on a serious hot streak. Did you catch her here in our Glamour offices on last night's episode of The City? Or her fabulous "Nice Price" feature in our June issue? Just in case you can't get enough of the MTV starlet, we've asked her to name her top five essentials for looking chic this summer (which officially arrives this weekend, ladies!).

1. "This season I can't live without a great pair of shorts," Whitney tells us. "Shorts are so versatile; pair them with heels and a blazer for a night out, or wear them with a comfortable pair of ballet flats. Either way, you will look chic and can wear them tons of different ways. I have a great pair of shorts in the Whitney Eve collection that I wear all the time." She's wearing them in the photo above--cute, right? Score your own pair for $165 at whitneyeve.com.

2. "I also love stripes this season! You can pick up striped pieces anywhere from Intermix and Barneys to the Gap and American Apparel, so there is a broad price range. A striped tank top can be worn over a bathing suit on the way to the beach or with some accessories while shopping around the city. Stripes always give a clean and polished look." We're really feeling stripes this season, too! Shop a few of our favorites at every price point now:

3. "An army style jacket is a popular trend this spring," Whitney says, and we couldn't agree more! "Summer will officially be here this weekend, but with the weather always changing, it's smart to never leave home without a light jacket. This is a great way to add a touch of effortless style to your look and these jackets also range in price; from Rag & Bone to Theory or J Crew, you can pick one up at any price point."

4. "Bold accessories. Anything from bright nail polish to statement jewelry will instantly liven up a simple white t-shirt and jeans. Bright nails are fun and are an easy way to be daring. Experiment with green and neon colors which are perfect for warm weather months."



5. "Every girl need a great flirty dress in nude or watercolor tones that they can wear out at night or to work all summer long. You can always pair it with different accessories to create a new look every time. Some of my favorites are from my collection; the Cut-Out Waist Dress looks fantastic with a light summer tan." Get your hands on Whitney's pick for $195 at whitneyeve.com.
