We all have the pieces we fall back on season after season, but sometimes it’s nice to spice it up a little bit. This summer, we’re sprucing up our uniform with statement necklaces, sculptural straw bags, and feminine crochet blouses. Shop our summer wardrobe update edit now.
Fashion has leaned into the feminine this year, with lots of pretty flowing skirts and bohemian sheer blouses. With one or two of these pieces, you can breathe fresh life into your wardrobe and feel completely current. Dôen, a brand built on easy breezy femininity, really shines in the summer. I love this powdery white Sebastiane skirt, which is perfect for tucking a blouse into the high waist.
Let’s talk tops. So many of these tops play with texture and silhouette, perfect for adding interest to your outfit while leaving enough space for a summer breeze. I love this Anthropologie puff-sleeve eyelet blouse, Me + Em’s high-necked elegant lace number, and Retrofete’s crochet cardigan.
My favorite trend this year? Jewelry sandals. We’ve talked about them before, but I really think the little but of embellishment they provide can take any outfit to the next level. They’re really good at taking an outfit from day to night, or for whenever you want to wear flats to a wedding. This saddle brown Valentino pair has a gold hardware anklet, and I am coveting them.
Summer isn’t summer without a straw bag, and I love the arch of this J.Lowery tote. The other details, like handles dotted with gold bits and the leather patch on the front, make it a truly excellent choice. Finally, don’t be afraid to toss on something a little more colorful. Roxanne Assouline makes fun, affordable jewelry pieces that look like summer camp jewelry for the Vogue offices. I love their paracord necklaces dabbled with fun charms, like this one in orange or this turquoise number.
