Summer Shopping Guide June 2018
It's Officially Summer, Which Means You Officially Need These 25 Fashion Items

June marks the first month we stow away our pants and bulky jackets and shop like we're going on vacation . . . even if, well, we have zero trips planned. The best thing about Summer clothes and accessories is the feel-good vibe they give off. Our editors are scooping up the most vibrant swimsuits, transitional cover-ups, and essential throw-on-and-go jumpers and dresses this month. Plus, we threw a few exciting surprises into the mix — like the personalized chunky ring you're seeing all over Instagram and the 2018 version of a fashion girl's go-to pool float. Read on to check out our picks.
Rouje Lolo Jumpsuit
"Tell me this isn't the perfect make-'em-stare jumpsuit! This Rouje Lolo number ($180) comes in black and blue floral too, and it's just ladylike enough for me. I prefer pants over a skirt any day." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
Stonefield Waiting For the Sun Denim Jacket
"I'm not an avid vintage shopper, but Stoned Immaculate does all the work for you! I love the mix of old and new and the perfectly curated washed-out tees and vintage-inspired denim, like this Stonefield Waiting For the Sun Denim Jacket ($269)." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive director, Style
Shami Bolt Nameplate Ring
"I've been seeing the Shami Bolt Nameplate Ring ($130) all over Instagram. I don't wear much jewelry, especially in the Summer, but this little bauble is totally the new engraved initial necklace, IMO." — SW
LPA x ATL Bikini
"I've said this before and I'll say it again: I'm obsessed with anything and everything LPA makes. Pia Arrobio teamed up with ATL to make some of the cutest swimsuits I've seen this season. Case in point? This LPA x ATL Bikini Top 311 ($78) and LPA x ATL Bikini Bottom ($58)." — Nikita Ramsinghani, assistant editor, Fashion
H&M Long Blouse
"My Summer goals always include finding a breezy cover-up that also works as a dress for the nights I want to go straight from the beach to the bar, drink a glass of red wine, and order a bunch of appetizers. H&M's Long Blouse ($10, originally $18) does the job at an affordable price. It's included in the brand's new Under the Sun shop, so you can't miss it when you're browsing for goods online." — SW
Janessa Leoné Sydney Hat
"I love the unique shape of this Janessa Leoné Sydney Hat ($143). I take one with me every Summer weekend, and getting a nice one that will last is always a good investment." — DC
Illesteva Ravello Sunglasses
"One of the newer shapes for sunglasses this Summer is a narrow frame. You can go cat eye or oval, depending on what is best for your face shape, but these Illesteva Ravello Sunglasses ($220) are definitely an upgrade in the accessories department." — DC
Donna Karan Ocean Duvet
"Choosing decor for my new apartment hasn't been an easy feat, but when I discovered that Donna Karan has a home line, I fell hard for the duvet cover from the Ocean Bedding Collection ($400). Being that I'm forever a beach lover and it happens to be Summer, there's no better way to brighten a room." — SW
Susan Alexandra Strawberry Bag
"I've been seeing Susan Alexandra's beaded bags all over Instagram. When I finally saw it IRL at The Summer Shop pop-up in Soho, my heart basically exploded. Seriously, just look at how cute this Susan Alexandra Strawberry Bag ($265) is!" — NR
DJ by DANNIJO For Stitchfix
"Dannijo is a go-to for fashion girls when they want to wear jewelry that's chunky, a little quirky, and very standout. Imagine our excitement when we discovered co-founders Danielle Snyder and Jodie Snyder Morel are bringing their jewels to Stitchfix via your personal stylist, all for an affordable price. The four piece collection ranges from $48 to $98." — SW
Solid & Striped The Nadine
"When it comes to swimwear, I'm generally a 'less is more' kind of person. I always gravitate toward simple black pieces that I know will be flattering, but when I saw the Solid & Striped The Nadine ($168), it was love at first sight. It might be out of my comfort zone, but I'm ready to rock the hell out of this swimsuit." — Morgane Le Caer, assistant editor, UK
LD Tuttle The Stare Mule
"My idea of the perfect 2018 mule? LD Tuttle's The Stare ($595) in white, which features a cool lucite heel and cutout upper. What's more, my toes will be able to breathe." — SW
BDG High + Wide Tie Belt Jeans
"I have to admit that I've never been a fan of white jeans. However, I've recently been coming around to the idea of cream-colored denim, and the BDG High + Wide Tie Belt Jeans ($69) quickly ended up in my shopping basket. Between the high waist, the slim yet flared leg, and the adorable tie belt, it's like these pants were made for me." — MLC
Ulla Johnson Polline Tiered Floral Print Organza Midi Dress
"This Ulla Johnson Polline Tiered Floral Print Organza Midi Dress ($565) is so dreamy. I could wear this to just about any Summer party or just to the office with slides." — DC
Kololo Marble Tube
"OK, call me crazy, but this Summer I'm going hard on Instagram and posting stylish swimsuit snaps every chance I get. While some girls are shopping for maillots and bikinis, I've stocked up and am looking for the perfect float. I came across these Kololo Marble Tubes ($29), which — no joke — match my lap top cover and make me a very happy camper." — SW
Carolina Santo Domingo Amphora Mini Adjustable Cross Body Bag
"I am so drawn to things that are unique. I know this Carolina Santo Domingo Amphora Mini Adjustable Cross Body Bag ($765) is a design I won't see everywhere, and it's available in so many soft tonal colors; the hardest part is picking one." — DC
Ray-Ban Hexagonal Sunglasses
"I'm not one to hoard sunglasses, and I tend to wear the same pair until it breaks and I absolutely have to buy a new one. However, this season will be quite different, as the Ray-Ban Hexagonal Sunglasses ($153) totally stole my heart. I love their chic geometrical shape and simply adore their minimalist look." — MLC
Mango Bow Leather Shoes
"Every once in a while, I decide to inject a bit of color in my wardrobe, and I already know that these Mango Bow Leather Shoes ($60) will be the perfect Summer shoe: bright, fun, and comfortable." — MLC
DSTLD High-Waisted Denim Skirt
"This Summer, my plan is to spend less time fussing over what outfits I should wear and spend more time enjoying the weather. This DSTLD High-Waisted Denim Skirt ($65) fits the bill just right." — NR
Mara Hoffman Bikini
"I dare you to buy just one of these Mara Hoffman suits! They all look like a painting I would want to hang on my wall. I'm all about the Abigail Strapless Bandeau Bikini Top ($140) and Lydia Bikini Bottom ($145)." — DC
Rejina Pyo Dana Linen Dress
"Like I said, my plan this Summer is to wear easy, one-and-done outfits. This breezy Rejina Pya Dana Linen Dress ($649) features gold buttons on the bodice, which gives the look a modern touch." — NR
Liana Oh Snap Tee
"I saw this Liana Oh Snap Tee ($75) during a preview at The Summer Shop pop-up in Soho, and the publicist was actually wearing it. I loved how effortless it looked and decided on the spot that I needed to buy it." — NR
Gucci Ophidia GG Supreme Mini Bag
"Gucci's Alessandro Michele has a talent for bringing old trends back to life, and that's exactly what's happened with the Ophidia GG Supreme Mini Bag ($950). Incredibly popular a few decades ago, this bag has finally made the comeback that it deserves, and I wouldn't be surprised to see it becoming the next It accessory." — MLC
Draper James x Jack Rogers Magnolia Sandals
"Every girl needs a go-to pair of flats that matches everything in her closet. These Draper James x Jack Rogers Magnolia Sandals ($148) will give any outfit I choose a fun, flirty feel." — NR
