Cute Summer Clothes to Buy For Staying Home
These Are the Clothes Our Fashion Editors Are Lounging Around in All Summer Long
As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.
The feel-good thrill of summer always puts us in the mood to get dressed in outfits that boost our confidence. We want to try out new swimwear brands, play with different shorts lengths, and let our toes breathe in cute new sandals. Turns out, despite what our summer routines may look like, this year isn't any different. We still feel inspired to wear clothes that make us happy.
Since we aren't dressing up to go out to any fancy events, our wardrobes are just a touch more comfortable, but they don't skimp on style. (Take the above jeans from Frame, for example, which are a trendy new style called the Le Baggy — essentially as roomy as your sweats!) We rounded up the stuff we're wearing at home that makes us want to stop and take a selfie every time we walk past the mirror.
From jewellery you can use to layer over your blouses for Zoom calls to lightweight, linen jumpsuits we could basically sleep in — or enjoy a glass of wine in outside on the porch — these are our fashion must-haves that we're carrying with us through the end of the summer and beyond, and truthfully, a lot of them will probably make it onto our Instagram feeds.
Violeta by Mango Stich Leather Sandals
"How chic are these Violeta by Mango Stich Leather Sandals ($80) — and for under $100?! I'll be living in these all summer." — Hannah Weil McKinley, director, Fashion + Shop
Solid + Striped Aloha Swimsuit + Cabana Shirt
"I have a strong love for oversize button-downs and bowling shirts paired with swimsuits right now. It's a great loungewear look, but it also transitions seamlessly to the beach. In 2021, my future husband and I plan on honeymooning in Greece, and I know the Solid + Striped Aloha Cabana Shirt ($118) and Solid + Striped Aloha Taylor One-Piece ($188) will be coming with me." — Sarah Wasilak, editor, Fashion
Rothy's The Flip
"Nothing says summer like wearing flip-flops and now Rothy's makes them in the perfect fit and lots of colours! It's a classic style made from their signature recycled materials that is very comfy and doesn't rub and create blisters like other sandals. I immediately purchased The Flip in blue ($65). They even make the perfect flip-flop sound when you walk!" — Lisa Sugar, president POPSUGAR
Frankieshop x CamilleCharrière Eva Padded Shoulder Muscle T-Shirt in Pale Yellow
"I love the soft yellow colour of this Frankieshop x CamilleCharrière Eva Padded Shoulder Muscle T-Shirt ($75). It's the perfect statement tee." — Dana Avidan Cohn, executive style director
Dannijo Baha Necklace
"I've realised that great jewellery can be the difference between feeling blah or feeling pretty pumped about my outfit. This beautiful Dannijo Baha Necklace ($125) is the ideal piece for dressing up a t-shirt or an open button-down. It doesn't take much else to turn your outfit around." — HWM
Frame Le Baggy Jean
"I've been on the hunt for a pair of jeans I can use to dress up my t-shirts and wear for a long walk later on in the day. The Frame Le Baggy Jean ($265) will still keep me feeling polished but will also be roomy enough four couch lounging." — SW
Revel Rey Hunter One Piece
"There's something so romantic about the print of this Revel Rey Hunter One Piece ($195). I love that I can wear it as a bodysuit as well!" — Nikita Ramsinghani, associate editor, Fashion
Everlane The Linen Square-Neck Jumpsuit

Reformation Grace Top
"You can't own too many breezy tops in the summertime and this Reformation Grace Top ($98) fits the bill just right with its sweet floral pattern and thin straps." — NR
Jacquemus Le Caleçon Floral-Print Boxers
"I'm beyond obsessed with these Jacquemus Le Caleçon Floral-Print Boxers ($112, originally $159). I can picture myself wearing these with high-socks and a cosy button-down." — NR
AGOLDE Blue Rumi Frayed Denim Shorts
"Just a drop longer than shorts I already own, I'll wear the AGOLDE Blue Rumi Frayed Denim Shorts ($140) with tanks and knits all summer." — DAC
Isa Noy Mini Silk Rock Wrap
"I've been trying to collect feel-good jewellery for wearing at home, but comfort is key. Something like the Isa Noy Mini Silk Rock Wrap ($350) lays light on the skin and feels special enough to wear everyday. It's also beach appropriate." — SW
Same Swim The Grace Vintage Bikini
"I'm in love with this swim brand and The Grace Tank ($120) and The Grace Vintage High Rise ($100) have the feel of a ribbed knit." — DAC

AGOLDE Carrie Long Length Slim Shorts
"Not quite jeans, but not at all your typical cutoffs — I'm all about the Bermuda trend and these AGOLDE Carrie Long Length Slim Shorts ($138) are the perfect length and cut for hanging around the house — and still feeling cute." — HWM

"This Sea Lea High Sleeve Top ($350) makes me smile just looking at it on the hanger. I love that it's feminine, breezy, and a totally effortless way to transform a basic outfit." — HWM
