With Memorial Day behind us, it's full steam ahead to beach days, ice cream, and only easy, breezy fashion. That's how the style world really knows it's Summer. We say goodbye to structure and layers and welcome the season with bare legs, sandals and slip-ons, and a wardrobe of dresses and swimsuits. Like I said, we like to keep it easy.
So don't be surprised that our 15 June must haves are as functional as they are fashionable. We're into flatforms, rompers, minimal jewels, and living in our favorite dresses. You too? Just read on to start stocking up on what you'll wear on repeat all season.
"Found: the dress ($70) that will look polished — and won't make you sweat — at the office and beyond. Bonus: it's under $100." — Hannah Weil McKinley, senior editor, Fashion
"I love the subtle Americana vibes and classic, slightly sporty fit of this Tavik Swimwear bikini ($70 for top, $58 for bottom)." — HWM
"Summer accessorizing is about keeping things simple. What more do you need than a handful of Cornelia Webb's truly unique sculptural rings ($455, set of four)?" — HWM
"Weekend getaways, day trips to the beach, dragging laundry back to my parents' house — I can't stop thinking about how many times I'll use Madewell's The Transport Weekender ($298) this season." — Samantha Sutton, assistant editor, Fashion
"I was obsessed with these exclusive Moda Operandi x Del Toro slippers ($395) the moment I laid eyes on them. You can either choose your favorite type of pup, or, better yet, send in a photo and receive a custom pair! These are an actual mock-up of my own beagle, Dylan." — Sarah Wasilak, assistant editor, Fashion
"One and done? That's my Summer style motto. Not to mention this Denim & Supply Ralph Lauren romper ($98) can easily be slipped over a swimsuit and worn to a beachside dinner." — SS
"While I'll always love my classic black wayfarers, a poppy two-toned style like the Illesteva Leonard II ($290) really speaks to me this time of year, when my outfits get a little more festive and fun." — SW
"Off-the-shoulder dresses are everywhere this season, but there's something about the candy-colored stripes and bubble sleeves on this Lisa Marie Fernandez style ($665) that makes the look all the more fun." — SW
"I'm addicted to neckcessorizing but tired of the same ol' rotation of scarves and bandanas. This wide jersey choker from ASOS ($10) is a cute and on-trend way to mix things up while adding a small hint of color to neutral ensembles." — SS
"Funky and finished with a patriotic splash of color, this Kayu St. Tropez Tote ($115) is the ultimate beach bag." — HWM
"I'm all about Perfect Moment's Nordic Zip One-Piece ($260) mostly for its functionality. I could totally pair this with cutoffs and rock it as a bodysuit, too." — SW
"While I've been looking for a pleated midi that goes with everything, a quick search at J.Crew landed me upon this flamingo-print version ($138), and I just couldn't say no. It may not go with all the tops in my wardrobe, but it looks just lovely with stripes." — SW
"Easy shoes, like these Soludos Smoking Espadrille Platforms ($99), that pull double duty — like going from the airport to the beach — are a total must for Summer travel." — HWM
"I've dubbed the model-approved duster and cutoffs combo one of the hottest looks of the season, but on humid days, you won't catch me wearing long sleeves. Rather, I'll be replacing my top layer with Gap's Linen Pointelle option ($60), which will have the same effect while keeping me cool." — SS
"A height boost, no straps to fuss with, and a neutral, go-with-everything color? These Fru.it 60mm Two Tone Leather Platform Sandals ($233) have 'perfect Summer shoe' written all over them." — SS
