What do you love most about summer? Is it the outdoor BBQ parties? The bikini-clad babes? The ultra-luxe, wild escapes you've saved up all year for? Wherever you're disporting yourself in the heat this year, you're going to need to look your very best. That's why we've taken all of your summer wardrobe essentials and found an instant upgrade for each of them on the world's easiest shopping site: Amazon. And to truly look your best this summer, work on what's under your summer outfits by mastering the workouts that will get you a six-pack by Independence Day.

1 The Madras Shorts

Vintage 1946 Indian Patch Short

$95; buy now at amazon.com

For a dose of Cape Cod, try these. A classic. The wash makes the fabric feel already broken-in. And if you these don't pique your interest, maybe one of the 35 best pairs of shorts for summer will.

2 The Cotton/Linen Blazer

Scotch & Soda Cotton/Linen Blazer in Navy

$245; buy now at amazon.com

Linen has gotten a bad rap in recent seasons (wrinkles). This version, blended with super soft cotton, mitigates those pesky wrinkles—and makes it a perfect warm weather choice.

3 The Sunglasses

4 The Swim Short

Original Penguin is one of the cooler lines around. This number is slightly shorter and trimmer—plus the '80s athletic vibe is right on trend.

5 The No-Show Socks

This offering may appear to be basic, but if you are going sockless, stock up on these. Not only are they crafted from premium cotton, their design keeps them firmly in place, perfect for the 30 pairs of slip-ons you'll be wearing with your summer outfits.

6 The Moccasins

Is it time for the moccasin to come back? Yes. This souped-up driving loafer sports a rubber sole to give it endurance. Be sure you're wearing these when you're behind the wheel.

7 The Varsity Bomber Jacket
