As Seen on the Today Show: Lighten Up Your Wardrobe for Summer

You might have caught PEOPLE senior editor Galina Espinoza on the Today Show this morning showing off the easiest ways to make your wardrobe lighter for the warmer months to come. From light bags, airy denim dresses, barely there knits and cork shoes these summer essentials won’t weigh you down. Try a denim dress like Rihanna’s 7 for All Mankind “Tina” dress, $180, at 7forallmankind.com. Sling a bag that weighs less than a Starbucks grande latte on your shoulder, like this “Catalina” PVC hobo bag, $30, at alloy.com. Keep your feet light with a pair of cork shoes like the “Union Square Brooke,” patent leather and cork wedges, $295, at rafe.com. For more must-have light styles, including knits, pick up the May issue of PEOPLE’s StyleWatch on newsstands now, and click here to watch the “Lighten Up” segment.

I am glad it’s finally getting warm outside! I plan to switch out my closet this weekend, so I’ll be lightening up my wardrobe too.

Rihanna always looks so strange to me. Is it the alien forhead or bug eyes? I heard rumors that she is trying to steal J away from Bey…say it isn’t so!!

I actually think this dress is super cute and she makes it look tasteful. Not sure I could pull off something that short though.

Rihanna looks great in
anything that she wears.
Personally,I think
she’s way prettier
than Beyonce and less
of a diva.

Hi! My name is Kristen and I work for http://www.truejeans.com. I also could not be happier to see the temperatures finally starting to rise. I am also exciting that denim companies are not making it even easier to wear jeans during those hot summer months. Brands, like Goldsign, have introduced styles made of ultra lightweight denim to keep you cool in the hot summer sun. Cropped denim, like J & Company’s Canon Cross, is also another great way to show off some sexy leg while saying cool.

The dress is cute, Rihanna is a pretty girl but she has a big forehead.
