White Dress

A white dress is the LBD of the summer. When you want to brighten up the palette a bit but still invest in that one piece you're sure to be able to wear to everything from the office to a summer soirée to weekend brunch with your best friends, look no further than the classic white dress. Come summer, we're particularly in love with those styles that boast a little feminine charm, like eyelet detailing or whimsical ruffles.

Tie-Dye Top

It's time to jump on the bandwagon of this colorful trend from your childhood. Stella McCartney, Proenza Schouler, and more designers have made it their mission this summer to take tie-dye into the wardrobes of all chic women across the globe and we, quite frankly, are a little obsessed with the unapologetic trend. Whether you're into preppy knits, casual hoodies, or classic t-shirts, tie-dye pieces of the shirting variety are definitely favorites when it comes to dipping your toe into the trend this season.

A French Bikini

The French bikini is a must-have for every fashionable girl, once the calendar flips to April or May. It is, we maintain, the two-piece swim style that will forever be most flattering on every single body type around. Even without an underwire, it's supportive enough for the bustier of the bunch, while its simple variation on the triangle shape is equally as chic on the ladies who tend toward the more flat-chested realm. Make sure to have (at least!) one French bikini on hand this summer, whether in black, neon, floral, or any or the other many colors they come in, no questions asked.

Hoop Earrings

We can thank street style stars like Selena Gomez [17], Hailey Baldwin, and more for reminding us how much we love a simple hoop and we're proud to say that we've collected more than our fair share in preparation for the coming summer weather. While hoops might not specifically be a summertime trend, they happen to truly be having quite the moment just as the seasons are dictating more show-off-your-lobes hairstyles of the ponytail variety. How lucky are we?

Woven Bags

This season, as you search for that seasonal favorite raffia or wicker bag, consider styles that have a little more structure than your go-to summer styles might have in the past. Designers from Gucci to Pamela Munson have quite the array of lady bag styles in the delicate natural material, allowing us a little bit of Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn charm in our everyday looks.

Cardigans

This summer, as you peel off the layers, consider ditching your sweater's underlayer and keeping the button-front knit in rotation instead. In very much of a '90s and early-aughts move, we're currently loving the cardigan-as-a-top look this season, paired with our favorite selection of vintage denim shorts and sandals.

Hair Bows

In another ultra-feminine move, this summer is the season of barrettes, especially of the bow variety. Draw inspiration from the runways of Chanel, Miu Miu, and — of course —Emilia Wickstead, but shop the style everywhere from your go-to fast-fashion retailer to the lust-worthy Madison Avenue designers whose runway shows you absolutely pored over as the season changed.

Silk Camisole

While a silk camisole might never be an actual trend (I mean, isn't a classic simply always a classic?), it has never failed to be our ultimate must-have when it comes to summer wardrobe essentials. We love pairing our effortlessly chic silk camisoles, in prints and solids alike, with everything from jeans and jean shorts to cocktail minis and bohemian midi skirts for after-hours events. Trust us: this is one collection of summertime outfit additions you will never regret stocking up on.

Vintage-Inspired Denim Shorts

Need we say more? Fortunately for you, we're in love enough with our denim that we'll sing this ultimate summer wardrobe essential's praises even though it's kind of self-explanatory. With few exceptions, our vintage jean shorts are rarely taken off from Memorial Day until Labor Day (and then some). We style it with t-shirts and silk tops; peel off all but a bodysuit when the sun is high; and layer knits and leather jackets when the sun is low. In short, when you find that perfect pair, come summer, buy twelve.

Striped Sweater

Calling all edgy and classic girls alike, there's nothing quite like a striped sweater, come summer. When you slip into that wardrobe essential you can practically smell the ocean waves as they crash at your feet, sand creeping between your bare toes. OK, so you might be pounding the pavement in the concrete jungle you call home most of the time, but a girl can dream, right?

Puff Sleeves

Whether you're going for a utility jumpsuit, cashmere sweater, cotton t-shirt, or classic blouse, add a little something special with a puff sleeve this summer. Yet another runway trend that harkens back to your childhood, it's a simple way to make even the most casual of summertime wardrobe essentials feel next-level without being over the top.

Bike Shorts

Listen up, ladies: now is your chance to try out the '90s athletic trend that's sweeping the nation. The likes of Naomi Campbell [42], Kim Kardashian [43], and — let's be honest — pretty much every influencer you currently follow on Instagram is (quite literally) knee-deep in the trend by now, so it's high time you jump on the retro bandwagon. In knit and spandex, bright tones and classic neutrals, we're styling this second skin with pretty much every top and jacket in our wardrobes this summer.
