May's not only a new month but prime time to start dressing like it's a new season [1], too. Sure, Summer's not officially here, but it's well on its way — and if it still isn't warming up, we're willing it to with this set of swimsuits [2], sandals, and sundresses. Not just any old kinds, either — our editors hand-picked favorites and new arrivals from the brands we love and the up-and-coming labels to know. Inside, you'll find the 24 pieces we're currently shopping, including a few finds from our friend, designer and style guru Misha Nonoo [3]. Read on to see it all.
"I'll preface this by saying I typically hate white jeans. That said, I'm always on the hunt for a pair come Summer, and Madewell's distressed Cali demi-boot jeans [4] ($135) seem to have miraculously solved my problem." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion
"I usually don't wear a lot of jewelry but have recently been coveting this Maria Black earring [5] ($164). It's simple enough to wear everyday or as a modern statement piece to finish off a black-tie look." — Misha Nonoo
"OK, I'll be the first one to admit that I have a problem with hoarding white t-shirts, so you'll have to excuse me for wanting to add this Gucci Print Cotton T-Shirt [6] ($550) to my collection. Plus, this vintage Gucci logo tee has already become a celebrity staple [7]." — Nikita Ramsinghani, assistant editor, Fashion
"The gingham print on this Solid & Striped suit [8] ($148) is the hands-down easiest way to channel Summer's sweet vibes. I even plan to wear mine as a bodysuit when I'm not at the beach — plus, the pink will look even better with a tan." — HWM
"Comfortable Spring/Summer shoes are a must, but they have to be cute. Sigerson Morrison's denim mules [9] ($275) fulfill both requirements." — HWM
"Comfort is always key in my book, and these Silence + Noise Ashton Snap Button Track Pants [10] from Urban Outfitters ($69) fit the bill perfectly. Just imagine these pants with a button-down and mules." — NR
"Do I really have to convince you why I need Rosie Assoulin's Cork Screw Top [11] ($1,695)? This Summer, I plan to invest in next-level tops [12] that elevate my style rather than sticking to simple bodysuits and crop tops." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
"I love a daily reminder of all that is good in the world! The motivational POPSUGAR-exclusive Samantha Faye Inspiration Cuff [13] ($80) reads, 'Be good. Do good. Feel good.' and keeps me upbeat and inspired. I love to stack it with other favorite bracelets or wear it alone for a minimalistic look." — Lisa Sugar, POPSUGAR president
This cuff was hand-selected to be featured in the POPSUGAR Must Have box [14] and is one of our fashion accessories items right now. Subscribe to the Must Have box to receive treats like this monthly!
"Everyone's obsessed with the Cult Gaia bags [15] and I too want a basket bag. I wore this J.McLaughlin wicker piece [16] ($138) for a photo shoot and had to stop myself from sneaking it off set! I think it's finally time I buy the bag." — Marina Liao, assistant editor, Fashion
"Can you tell I have a denim obsession? Rebecca Taylor's overalls [17] ($475) are all grown up and more like a jumpsuit, so you can wear them to the office. (Yes, really.)" — HWM
"Instead of wearing your heart on your sleeve, wear these AZIZ earrings by Dannijo [18] ($145). The beads give your regular ol' hoops a fun upgrade and make just the statement you need. I'd rock the accessory with a plain white tee and frayed denim shorts." — Marina Liao
"You can never have too many swimsuits, and what says Summer more than a crocheted bikini? I'm already envisioning myself hanging out by the pool in this lavender Ivy bikini by Maiyo [19] ($90)." — NR
"Tap into Spring's statement stripes trend with this graphic bomber jacket [20] ($450). I'll throw this over a wide-leg jumpsuit to dress it down for day." — MN
"With my trip to California right around the corner, I wanted a new pair of retro sunglasses. The plan is to drive up the picturesque Pacific Coast Highway in these rad Elizabeth and James McKinley sunglasses [21] ($185). Silk neck scarf optional." — NR
"These Piñata Tassel Earrings from Bauble Bar [22] ($36) remind me of those chic ones Audrey Hepburn wore in Breakfast at Tiffany's. What's not to love about that?" — NR
"If it doesn't feel like Summer yet, throw on Reformation's Geneva dress [23] ($218) — the lightweight linen and blue and white stripes should do the trick!" — HWM
"Hayward's Mini Gold Brocade Shopper [24] ($790) is well worth the splurge. This is a vintage-inspired piece I'll wear year round, and it comes in such a glowing, standout color too." — SW
"Kisuii's Estela Tiered Lace Maxi [25] ($550) can certainly be styled with a slip and chunky platforms for dinner, but this will be the cover-up I throw over every bikini and one-piece before I hit the beach." — SW
"If you're in the market for retro, oversize shades, I can assure you Kate Young's June Sunglasses for Tura [26] ($282) are completely flattering and more chic than they are playful." — SW
"Ready for another coffee table book? It's All About Shoes [27] ($45) focuses on the footwear choices of fashion mavens. I'm all for looking at pretty photos of shoes, as that's basically what I do on the daily." — ML
"I have trouble finding cute, work-appropriate skirts, but this one by J.O.A. [28] ($80) solves all my problems. The soft linen material is perfect for the start of May, and when paired with a crisp pair of white sneakers? Street style GOLD." — ML
"Here's a top I will wear in May and beyond. Aritzia's cayenne knit piece [29] ($75) is soft to the touch and stretchy too. My favorite part is the long straps, which you can tie a number of ways to give your outfits a new look every time. The crop style will pair well with my high-waisted gingham pants." — ML
"Sunglasses are my guilty pleasure. This round framed pair from Garrett Leight [30] ($365) is the perfect blend of throwback retro and modern it girl." — MN
"My Chiara cutout jumpsuit [31] ($695) is a chic one-and-done piece to outfit when your friend says 'I do.'" — MN
