With summer in full swing, let's do an outfit check: Do you have the staples you need to get through these hot months without looking like a sweaty mess? Whether you summer in the Hamptons or are just trying to look pulled together while you walk your dog around your neighborhood, never is a capsule wardrobe more important than when temperatures are soaring and the right materials are everything.

Luckily, the Luxury Stores at Amazon have a huge selection of high-end brands and the basics they make to help you rejigger your closet without too much fuss. From easy, pulled-together slide sandals and the linen pieces that will keep you haute and breezy, there's something for every man and every style—and all with the retailer's signature super-easy shipping and return policies. Here are 10 of our favorite seasonal selects.
