Cool Sunglasses

The right sunglasses make an outfit, and we're loving the retro cuts this season. Go for funky frames that are cool with a bit of an edge.

Jumpsuits

If you're not jumping for jumpsuits, then you just haven't found the right one. They are effortlessly cute and work day or night.

Big Bag

Summer means sunblock, lightweight and colorful scarves, lip gloss, and lots of water — so every girl needs a big bag for carrying it all.

Crop Top

Crop tops are back — and better than ever. Elevate your everyday tee with a midriff-baring shirt that's easy breezy.

Sandals

From gladiators to designer Birkenstocks [3], sandals are a must have this season.

Flowing Dresses

A flowing dress is a great addition to your Summer wardrobe. It's so versatile, too — layer with a jacket for work, or add sparkling baubles when heading out for drinks.

Colorful Scarf

Perfect for looping around your neck, tying over loose locks, or poking out from your bag, a colorful scarf is an eye-catching Summer accessory.

Full Skirt

Full skirts are a hot trend this Summer that are flattering on any figure.

Tailored Shorts

Tailored shorts look great dressed up or down, which makes them a wise style investment.

Fringe!

Really, we can't get enough fringe this Summer! From bag embellishments to long scarves to tasseled booties, we're loving this trend.

Floppy Sun Hats

Just the right floppy hat keeps you cool in the shade while perfectly accentuating any outfit.
