With 50 percent of the country vaccinated many of us are finally able to reconnect in person with friends, return to offices, and start actually making plans again. It can feel daunting to remember how to get dressed after so many months of loungewear and WFH attire. We wanted to simplify things by calling out some of our favourite styles for summer that will help you create countless outfits and refresh some of the pieces you already own.
Ganni Seersucker Check Shirt
We love the check print and statement collar on this Ganni Seersucker Check Shirt ($165). Wear with denim or go for the matching short set.
Mansur Gavriel Mini Cloud Clutch
Give your structured bags a little downtime and swap in for a soft pillowy option like this Mansur Gavriel Mini Cloud Clutch ($495)
Jlani Kim Anklet
Celebrity favourite, jewellery brand Jlani Kim Anklet ($75) makes the perfect weight chains to wear with sneakers and slides.
Nanushka Soffio Linen Halter Dress
The halter top trend is everywhere and this Nanushka Soffio Linen Halter Dress ($595) is such an elevated and perfect version for any summer night out.
Ookioh Costa One Piece
Treat yourself to a few new suits this summer. Ookioh Costa One Piece ($100) makes beautiful and sustainable swimwear in the perfect high-cut shapes.
STAUD Lace Bucket Hat
Grab a bucket hat this summer to wear at the beach or poolside, like this STAUD Lace Bucket Hat ($125). It protects your skin and adds just the right amount of early 2000 nostalgia.
Aritzia Smocked Blouse
Wear this Aritzia Smocked Blouse ($98) on repeat with high-waisted shorts and denim.
Rebecca Taylor Ruched Top Long Dress
This Rebecca Taylor Ruched Top Long Dress ($265) is the perfect piece for weddings, graduation parties, and summer nights out. Change up the look of this dress with chunky slides or delicate lace-up heels.
PORTE & PAIRE Black Suede sandals
A delicate lace-up sandal, like these
PORTE & PAIRE Black Suede sandals ($210), makes every outfit look fresh for summer. Try pairing with dresses, jorts, or a linen summer short suit.
Shaina Mote Boy Trouser in Salt
Play with volume and pair your summery cropped tops with an oversized pant like this Shaina Mote Boy Trouser in Salt ($258)
Light brown State Street square-frame acetate sunglasses
Square sunglasses are back. We are loving these softer shades of brown and caramel for summer.
Light brown State Street square-frame acetate sunglasses ($165).
Citizens of Humanity Ambrosio Shorts
We were hesitant about this length but it's all about balance. These Citizens of Humanity Ambrosio Shorts ($158) have a longer hem length that looks great with crop tops.
