We’re less than two weeks from the first day of summer — Thursday, June 20. Is your wardrobe ready? City Editor Cambridge caught up with Winston-Salem based influencer TeriLyn Adams about her summer essentials.

This interview has been edited for length and clarity.

What style trends can we expect to see in Winston-Salem this summer?
I’m seeing a lot of yellow which is fun, especially for summer. Ballet flats and Mary Janes are back in, so kind of just a feminine shoe, which is fun.

What’s your ideal outfit for a date night downtown?
I would probably just wear a longer dress and flats so that it is walkable. If we were going somewhere without a lot of walking I’d probably wear a midi-length dress with a chunkier sandal.

What’s your ideal outfit for the pool?
I always go for a simple swimsuit. I really like solids — you’ll almost never see me in a patterned swimsuit. I like really timeless shapes, like a like a thin shoulder strap, square neckline — I think it’s flattering on everybody. The La Blanca Goddess swimsuit looks amazing on everyone. I get fun cover-ups and that’s kind of like my accessory.

Shout out your favorite local boutique.
Rebecca & Co. is my go-to. I don’t know if a lot of people know this, but they will shop for you and that’s what I like. Janie is who I usually shop with. She’ll pull things I never would have picked off the rack. I like to go in there and be like, ‘okay, this is what I’m shopping for, this is my budget’ and then she’ll pull things. I just think that they’re genuinely so kind and really care about helping you find good pieces.

From the editor

I’m here with a friendly reminder to make sunscreen part of your daily skincare regimen year-round. I actually look forward to applying sunscreen in the summertime — the smell instantly takes me back to being a kid, enjoying long days at the beach and good times at the pool.
