Though June’s stifling heat wave left us craving air-conditioned respites and refreshing spritzes, team Fashionista didn’t let it smother our summer style.
We’re having fun with our warm weather ‘fits — a brightly illustrated linen sundress, a bow-adorned micro mini skirt and boxer shorts sporting a playful thirst-trap print. Of course, we haven’t abandoned the summertime classics, like breezy caftans, actually comfortable slip-on sandals and oversized jorts. We’re pairing these with accessories like crescent-shaped handbags, a seafoam-colored silk scarf and the ultimate poolside companion: a giant rainbow floatie.
Keep scrolling to see (and shop!) all of our favorite fashion finds from June.
Madewell x Lisa Says Gah! Embroidered Button-Front Shirt, $88, available here (sizes XXS-XXL) and Embroidered Drawstring Pull-On Shorts, $68, available here (sizes XXS-4XL): “I love this set from Madewell’s collaboration with Lisa Says Gah! because (a) I love both brands and (b) it gives the vibe of being on a Mediterranean island at a fraction of the cost of a plane ticket.” —Ana Colón, Deputy Editor
Agolde Dame Shorts in Control, $178, available here (sizes 23-34): “I already own the long-pants version of these, and I’m equally obsessed with their summery counterpart. I love how the slightly oversized cut and wide cuffs elevate otherwise basic jorts, and I’m a sucker for medium-dark wash rigid denim.” —Stephanie Saltzman, Beauty Director
Paramidonna Hailey Choco Swimsuit, $200, available here (one size): “I was frankly skeptical about a one-size-fits-all swimsuit — I’m usually an XL in swim, but the brand says this fits XS-2XL. The shirred material offers endless stretch and fits like a glove, hugging comfortably without feeling tight anywhere.” —Savannah Sitton, Contributing Market Editor
Meshki Angela Sleeveless Suiting Top in Ivory, $79, available here (sizes XXS-3XL): “This top has been a saving grace for making any outfit a touch more elegant. It has a slight peplum that creates a beautiful, Audrey Hepburn-like shape at the waist without emphasizing the hips too much. Plus, it cinches you in, but still feels super breathable.” —Brooke Frischer, Staff Writer and Social Lead
Fendi Large Roll Shopper, $1,950, available here: “This isn’t just an ideal raffia bag for summer: Fendi’s latest iteration of the Roll comes via a purposeful collaboration with Made for a Woman, with each piece hand-crocheted by artisans in Madagascar.” —Andrea Bossi, Staff Writer
Abercrombie & Fitch Bubble Hem Mini Dress, $80, available here (sizes XXS-XL): “I’ve always found the bubble hem to be quite chic (I’ve got the middle school pictures to prove it), and this two-toned dress is a great way to stay on trend without being too ‘in your face.’ The skirt lands at a humble fingertip length, which is a big win as somebody with wider hips.” —Janelle Sessoms, Staff Writer
Else Cashmere V Neck Polo Collar Sweater, $325, available here (sizes S-L): “Every day, my infatuation with stripes is looking less and less like a phase and more like a lifestyle. Though we’re nearing the middle of summer, I’m perpetually dreaming about cashmere-striped sweaters. Else’s navy-and-lavender colorway with a collared neckline could have been plucked straight from my many style inspo Pinterest boards.” —Catie Pusateri, Contributing Writer
Reformation Grace Linen Two Piece, $248, available here (sizes 0-12): “I’m obsessed with this set. It’s high-quality and fits very well. These pieces have become staples in my wardrobe, both together and separately.” —Emma Greene, Editorial Intern
& Other Stories Printed Relaxed Midi Dress, $239, available here (one size): “In the summertime, I aspire to dress like I could be a background actor on ‘Mamma Mia’ or ‘The Golden Girls’ — meaning: I love a caftan. This one from artist Brianna Lance’s capsule for & Other Stories is helping me fulfill that fantasy. In addition to the stunning artwork (the swan!), I love that each piece in the collection is made using zero-waste patterns.” —Ana
Mountain and Moon Bleecker Ring, $89, available here: “Em Davies collaborated with the jewelry brand Mountain and Moon on a swoon-worthy collection, and I love this eye-catching ring from the collection. Lately, I’ve been fixated on chunky, molten gold hardware; I like the imperfection of it all. Adorned with my birthstone, this is a piece I’ve worn this daily since I got it.” —Savannah
Alémais Players Sundress, $595, available here (sizes 4AU-16AU): “It’s hard for me to choose a favorite from all the cheeky, playful illustrations adorning this breezy linen maxi dress: It’s a toss up between the chili pepper and the hopscotch, I think. I can’t dream of a more fun print for a garment.” —Steph
Got Bag Moon Bag Large Sloane Stephens Edition, $49, available here: “I had been wanting a nylon moon bag in my life ever since it was named one of last year’s hottest ‘It’ items. Once I saw this collaboration between professional tennis player Sloane Stephens and Got Bag (which uses recycled plastic and materials removed from Indonesian waterways), I actually bought one. I’m a big-bag kind of gal, so I love that it comes in both a small and large size. Plus, Got Bag will donate 20% of the collab’s profits to the Sloane Stephens Foundation.” —Savannah
PJs by PJ The NYC Short Set, $75, available here (sizes XS-L): “I’m a sucker for a cozy PJ set, and this one features so many of my favorite things in my city, including a ‘Wicked’ Playbill, a Mister Softee truck, bagels and more.” —Brooke
Michael Stars Wren Ribbed Midi Dress, $98, available here (sizes XS-XL): “There are two things I especially like about this ribbed dress: its side slit, which makes moving in it easy, and the wide assortment of colorways.” —Andrea
Sam Edelman Bianka Slingback Pump, $140 $105, available here: “Be it genetics or bad karma, I’ve been cursed with abhorrently bad balance, meaning me wearing heels is usually a death wish. These kitten heels, however, have proven to be one of the few in which I can comfortably walk around without falling flat on my face. It’s now earned a top spot in my shoe rotation, and, thanks to its classic design, I can reach for these lovelies any time of the year across the next few seasons.” —Janelle
Storets Miley Micro Mini Skirt with Bows, $93, available here (sizes XS-L): “Though I’m a long-skirt lover, I’m never opposed to a micro-mini moment. Plaid mini skirts are one of my favorite styles regardless of the season, and ever since the brand sent this bow-adorned silhouette my way, I’ve loved pairing it with sheer black tights and knee-high heeled boots.” —Catie
Jennifer Behr x Julia Berolzheimer Neptune Scarf, $268, available here: “The versatility of a silk scarf can’t be overstated — wear it as a bandana, headband, bag accessory, even a laid-back strapless top — and this one, created in collaboration between Jennifer Behr and Julia Berolzheimer, features a perfectly vacation-y seafoam color.” —Steph
Fossil Harwell Leather Crescent Bag, $230, available here: “Given how much I wear black (even in the summer), I can’t believe I didn’t have one black shoulder bag in my purse collection. So naturally, when Fossil offered to send me this gem, I couldn’t pass up the opportunity. It’s become my go-to, night-out-on-the-town arm candy: The strap offers enough length to unzip and rummage through my bag without taking it off my shoulder. Plus, the crescent is plenty roomy to fit my wallet, phone, Kindle and beauty essentials.” —Janelle
Steve Madden Kaya Slide, $70, available here: “These slides have become my staple on hot days! From the pool to work and running errands, these are my go-to throw-on shoes.” —Emma
Armitron Tilly Watch, $65, available here: “I’ve noticed a lot of the style set has been going back to analog watches lately. Eager to join the trend, I started looking for something classic yet trendy, inexpensive yet high-quality. My prayers were answered when Armitron offered me a new timepiece; I chose one of its best-sellers, the Tilly, with a black faux crocodile leather strap, and have already collected compliments.” —Savannah
Toccin Kylie Double Breasted Blazer, $595, available here (sizes 2-14): “I love how bright and bold this double-breasted blazer is. Designed by NYC-based label Toccin, its sharp lapels and shiny buttons make this perfect power suiting for warmer months.” —Andrea
Funboy Clear Rainbow Cloud Lounger, $39 $33, available here: “My favorite swimsuit accessory this summer is this vibrant, rainbow floatie that’s bound to make any poolside outfit ten times cuter.” —Brooke
Caitlyn Minimalist Initial Pendant Necklace, $40 $32, available here: “Maybe it’s my non-stop ‘Bridgerton’ binge-watching or my long-standing love of vintage-inspired jewelry, but this initial pendant necklace’s classic look caught my eye. The combination of gold and white almost mirrors a vintage wax seal that you can wear. Plus, I love the meaning behind initial jewelry, whether it’s representative of your own name or that of someone special.” —Catie
Heaven Mayhem Aria Gold Earrings, $110, available here: “I love the look of vintage earrings but have had one too many pairs slide right off my ears. This four-loop style from Heaven Mayhem achieves that chunky ’80s look but features a traditional pierce-backing to ensure they stay put.” —Brooke
Abercrombie & Fitch Drop-Waist Mini Dress, $80 (sizes 2XS-XL), available here: “Can you believe this dress is from Abercrombie? Me, neither. I want it in every one of the three neutral color options.” —Steph
Ruslan Baginskiy The HatBag, $350, available here: “This hybrid accessory from Ruslan Baginskiy is so cool. The Ukraine-based designer released a raffia bucket hat that can also be converted into a bucket bag. To me, this is the perfect, modular companion for a beach day or tropical vacation.” —Andrea
Fruity Booty Wall of Fame Boxers, $52, available here (sizes XS-XL): “I’m very into the boxers-as-shorts trend, but have been looking for a pair that’s somewhat more interesting than a solid blue or plaid pattern. This photo-covered style is my favorite. ” —Brooke
Adele Dejak Tele Bracelet, $130, available here: “I love the sculptural quality of this piece by Adele Dejak. Cuffs are such an elegant accessory that, for me, invoke imagery of goddesses. This one, which is hand-crafted in Kenya, channels that confident and beautiful energy.” —Andrea
Brandon Blackwood Draped Jersey Dress, $75, available here (sizes XS-3XL): “Made of structured-yet-stretchy jersey, the ruched silhouette of this BBStudio dress boasts an asymmetric hem, open back, off-shoulder neckline and sash detailing at either side of the waist that can be tied in the back for a snatched shape. For the price, I love its versatility: It can be styled casually or for cocktail.” —Savannah
Abercrombie & Fitch The A&F Paloma Top, $40, available here (sizes XXS-XXL): “I’ve been on the hunt for pieces to switch up my neutrals-filled closet, and this butter-yellow high-neck top perfectly fits the bill. It’s a versatile summer styling piece, and it instantly brightens up any look. But my favorite part by far is how comfortable the soft, breathable fabric is.” —Catie
Sanctuary Timeless Vest Vineyard Stripe, $99, available here (sizes XXS-XXL) and Pleat Up High Rise Trouser Vineyard Stripe, $119, available here (sizes 24-34): “For those days when you don’t want to change out of your pajamas but you have to, this set is a good substitute. I feel chic and put together, but still comfortable and cool in this breezy two-piece pinstripe outfit.” —Brooke
Protalus Cascade Sandal, $130, available here: “These sandals have a deeper heel cup and extra cushioning to reduce stress on the heel, which have allowed me to complete a five-mile walk in them, no problem. I’ve hardly left the house without them since I got them.” —Savannah
Jenny Bird Noa Anklet, $168, available here: “I’ve never been an anklet person, but this pearl style got me hooked. I never have to take it off, andit elevates my shoe game to a whole new level of cool.” —Brooke
