This month, team PS is loving ruffles, whether it be on a romantic sun dress or whimsical mid-heel mules. This fun, flirty detail can be found all over our July wish list.
As for our shoe of the moment, it's definitely a pair of the ever-popular black strappy sandals [1]. We love how versatile they are. You can wear them on a casual day to the office, afterwards to the pub, on a cute date, or for a sunny stroll through the park. You can dress them up or down, and if you decide on a black leather finish then you'll have an easy-to-style shoe that goes with everything.
Another team favourite is a strong accessories game [2]. Summer is a time for breezy dresses and comfy, casual clothes. Taking the time to add some sparkling details to your outfit can really elevate a look while still looking effortless. We're especially loving gold jewellery, whether that be ear cuffs, hoop earrings, or delicate rings for adding some extra glam to our hands.
Read ahead for everything our team is buying this July.
Sezane Annie Dress
"When it comes to my summer wardrobe I wear either one of two outfits: An airy blouse or tank with slouchy jean shorts, or a floaty dress (either maxi or midi). I love the pastel stripes on this maxi dress, as well as the special little details like the tie straps and horizontal seams that run across the length." – Sophia Panych, Content Director

Alona Novella Earrings - Rose Gold
"A cute pair of hoops is my go-to for those days when I can't be bothered making an effort (or doing my hair), but still want to look like I was bothered to make an effort. These chunky rose gold hoops are the perfect accessory for those days." – Ange Law, Assistant Editor
Alona Novella Earrings - Rose Gold [6] (£95)
Monki Belted Kaftan Dress
"Welcome to my hot weather wardrobe, which consists almost entirely of floaty, brightly-printed dresses that I can throw on without having to make more than the minimal amount of effort. Is this office-appropriate? Maybe not, but I'm obviously going to give it a go…" – Gemma Cartwright, Senior Editor
Monki Belted Kaftan Dress [7] (£30)
Emily Levine Dumpling Tote
"I'm such a sucker for a mini bag. Every time I get a new one, I say 'that's it!', but just look how cute this little dumpling is 🙈 " – KK
Emily Levine Dumpling Tote [8] (£110)
New Look Off White Straw Effect Pointed Mules
"Few things have served me better in life than my massive collection of New Look shoes. When it comes to affordable high street footwear, they truly are the best by miles, and these Summer mules are going right to the top of my list. They'll be great on days when it's too hot for proper shoes, but I have no time to fix my toenail polish." – GC
New Look Off White Straw Effect Pointed Mules [9] (£13.50)
H&M Tiered Beach Tunic
"I'll admit straight away that I have no intention of limiting this airy dress to the beach. Lightweight, oversized and in a cute khaki leopard print, I plan on living in dresses like this one on those hot and humid London days in July." – AL
H&M Tiered Beach Tunic [10] (£35)
Chanel Round Sunglasses
"When Taylor Swift [11] dropped her celebrity-filled You Need to Calm Down music video, she reminded me of how much I wanted pearl-studded sunglasses [link to my gallery]. This pair from Chanel is painfully chic — and obviously a huge investment, so it's definitely one of those items that will just sit there on my "wishlist" all summer." – SP
Chanel Round Sunglasses [12] (£550)
& Other Stories Cotton Blend Puff Sleeve Dress
"You can never have too many white mini dresses for the Summer, right?" – KK
& Other Stories Cotton Blend Puff Sleeve Dress [13] (£89)
& Other Stories Knotted Leather Lace Up Sandals
"For me, a pair of strappy black leather sandals is one of the most important pieces of my wardrobe. I can pair them with cropped jeans or a pair of shorts, a casual sundress, or even as a way to dress down a fancier maxi dress. The pair I've owned for two years just broke last weekend (I had to hobble home on the tube with one of them tied precariously to my foot) so I need a replacement. This pair definitely fits the bill." – SP
& Other Stories Knotted Leather Lace Up Sandals [14] (£69)
Zara Floral Print Dress
"With summer weddings on the horizon, this versatile dress is perfect for a european wedding with easy transition from day to night!" – Hayley Sharp, Brand Partnerships Director

Whistles Roman Tie Leg Sandal
"I am in need of some summer sandals that can go with everything and are an easy day to night style. I recently saw these sandals in Whistles and I love the square shape and lace tie, I think they are super flattering and look like a statement shoe." – Kiri Paul, Sales Planner
Whistles Roman Tie Leg Sandal [17] (£80)
H&M Wide Trousers
"I discovered last year that H&M makes the best wide-leg trousers, and I've got so many compliments when wearing the printed pair I bought last year. This time around, I've got my eye on these cute yellow printed ones." – GC
H&M Wide Trousers [18] (£18)
Iris & Ink Tulia Draped Satin-Crepe Turtleneck Blouse
"I am a sucker for a staple blouse and this Iris and Ink blouse has been on my wishlist for a while. I absolutely love the draped detail and satin finish and I do not YET own a blouse in this champagne/ pastel pink colour." – KP
Iris & Ink Tulia Draped Satin-Crepe Turtleneck Blouse [18] (£100)
H&M 7-Pack Rings
"I love jewellery because it adds extra detail to an outfit without looking too put together. I recently bought this colourful ring pack from H&M and haven't taken them off. The stones are colourful and look great mixed with plain rings and it just helps to brighten up an outfit." – KP
H&M 7-Pack Rings [19] (£7)
&Other Stories Puff Sleeve Linen Wrap Mini Dress
"I will be wearing this wrap dress from & Other Stories all summer long for a few reasons. Wrap dresses are always flattering, whether you're pairing them with a cute pair of boots, heels or sneakers for a more casual look, plus the puffy sleeves are what all of my Summer dreams are made of." – AL
