The 14 Summer Finds on Our Editors' July Wish Lists

Jul 1 2015 - 6:00am

June was just the warmup, but July isn't messing around. With Independence Day [1] BBQs, weekends at the beach, and, well, sticky, hot days ahead, this month is all about celebrating Summer in full swing. With that comes a new set of seasonal arrivals — and a brand-new shopping list, courtesy of our editors and everything on their wish lists. From breezy sundresses to a sleek Summer tote — and the bathing suits, rompers, and comfy kicks you'll need in between — these are the 14 finds you'll want to shop ASAP.

We already know Mara Hoffman's swimwear is ridiculously flattering [2], so when we heard she was launching an activewear collection [3] ($108-$324), we knew gym clothes would never be the same. With a collection of patterns as bold and bright as her bikinis, I'll be finding ways to work the looks into my daily wardrobe — whether that means working out more or not.

I'm all about jewelry that I can wear every day, so I've been on the hunt for a cool new pair of earrings that can survive my upcoming trips to the beach while still looking chic at my next barbecue. These Catbird chain earrings [4] ($210) totally fit the bill.

I love the breeziness of this floral Flynn Skye Hot Tamale Set, which includes a crop top [5] ($75) and button-front skirt [6] ($168). While I'll wear these separates together through the rest of the Summer, I can see the asymmetrical maxi skirt blending into my wardrobe through Fall, too.

Taylor Swift [7] may be switching up her look [8], but she's still got an eye for some classic, go-with-everything pieces — especially when it comes to her bags. Currently, I can't get her tan Michael Kors Casey Large Leather Satchel [9] ($1,195) out of my head. It's the perfect addition to any easy, breezy Summer wardrobe and fits well with my typically feminine style.

Because Summer style should never be fussy, I'll be slipping into this adorable Madewell romper [10] ($148) for those sweltering days when I just can't — but still want to feel pulled together.

I have never been much of a one-piece wearer, but after spotting this Solid & Striped suit [11] ($158), I may have to finally spring for one just in time for the Fourth of July.

Kendall's got one, Selena's got one, and now I need one: a double-buckle belt by B-Low the Belt [12] ($148). It's such a great way to give an otherwise boring look a cool new twist, and thanks to these stars, I've got more than enough inspiration [13] for how to wear it.

— SS

I've been lusting over this Stone Cold Fox Dylan jumpsuit [14] ($449) since I first laid eyes on it. The lace detail is so intricate, and I love the scalloped edge on the open back!

Even if my closet was already stocked with flat, comfortable Summer shoes, I'd make a million excuses to add this ridiculously cute pair of embroidered Soludos [15] ($65). Can you blame me?

— HM

With a bra [16] ($85) this pretty, I'll never mind that my straps show a little bit [17] — or a lot. In fact, it'll only make my basic tank tops and tees look that much cooler.

After going to a workshop with Upstate designer and owner Kalen Kaminski, I have a new appreciation for the skill that goes into making beautiful (and wearable) pieces by hand. The Upstate Amalfi dress [18] ($295) is a work of art and an effortlessly cool Summer dress that will take me from the beach to a dinner party with just a swap of shoes.

While it may be hot outside, my bus, office, and just about anywhere indoors seems to be unbearably cold. My savior this season has been a comfy pair of culottes by Chelsea28 — so much so that I'm grabbing another pair. This time, in a fun floral print [19] ($78).

— SS

I'm a true Disney girl at heart, so naturally, I freaked out (in a good way!) when Olympia Le-Tan released her new line of clutches [20]. This adorable mini 101 Dalmatians style [21] ($838) spoke to me, soaring right to the top of my wish list.

— SW

This breezy, cutout Reformation Riley Dress [22] ($198) might be the closest thing to having personal air conditioning — and the easiest way to look sweet and put together without trying. I can think of nothing better to throw on for the Fourth of July.
