1. A V-neck embroidered maxi I'd like to wear on a bike ride through the Italian countryside. That probably won't be happening anytime soon but I'm going to add this to my shopping cart in the name of hope.
2. A pair of high-waisted shorts designed with an elastic waist that means ::les gasp:: you'll actually be able to exhale without feeling cold metal dig into your belly button. These comfy hunks of denim mold to your curves perfectly for a glove-like fit.
3. An underwire bikini top that'll have the following coming from your lips: "I could confidently wear this to a water park without fear of flashing the masses." This provides support similar to that of your favorite bra, meaning no slips with every crashing wave.
4. A crochet cover-up dress giving serious Ibiza vibes. "I'm drinking overpriced cocktails in a cabana" I'll say as I spend my summer days working and/or wading in the seaweed of the Long Island Sound.
5. A draped wrap skirt you'll find yourself gravitating toward for any occasion. It all lies in the power of shoe choice: Pair this with heels for tasting course dinners or with sneakers for that ~aesthetic~ coffee shop you found on Instagram.
6. An off-shoulder maxi dress designed with the phrase wardrobe staple in mind — the kind of number you can wear to weddings and birthday dinners *or* for a stroll along a beach boardwalk.
7. A strapless romper ideal for any and all warm weather activities, ergo you can finally banish this question from your lips forever: but what will I wear?
8. A high-waisted palazzo trouser for a flowy (READ: airflow) staple that's great for team meetings, happy hours, and pretty much everything else in between. Now repeat after me: chic.
9. A '90s-inspired high-cut swimsuit made from a slick and thick material that looks like it would cost upwards of one billion dollars and come from a ritzy boutique but shhhhh, it’s actually shockingly super affordable.
10. A V-neck lace-trimmed cami that's guaranteed to become your new IT top. And by IT, I mean this is your new official go-to top — the kind of gorgeous thing that pulls through when you have five minutes to get ready and no patience to dig through your wardrobe.
11. A seamless tank adored by reviewers who wear D+ cup sizes — the material is compressive, providing lift and support. TL;DR: going braless will have never felt so secure.
12. A mini dress featuring a cutout design for the allure of "I matched a top and bottom this morning" without having to actually, well, match anything.
13. A maxi dress highlighting the crème de la crème of fashion designs: pockets. Throw in super soft fabric and you've got yourself a recipe for perfection.
14. A wide leg jumpsuit best accessorized with bottomless mimosas served at your next at-home brunch, overpriced avocado toast and a poached egg not required (but highly recommended).
15. A bodycon button-up I can already picture myself wearing on a slightly humid summer morning in which I've already committed to plans and don't want to cancel, despite the high temps.
16. A two-piece set you'll dub "vacation brunch attire," aka an outfit you'll want to wear for vacation mimosas. Slipping on this cropped top and flowy skirt has a 100% effectiveness rate at getting you no less than one million compliments.
17. A bikini top and bottom with the ability to make your local seaweed-covered beach feel like a Mediterranean vacation. The power of linen clothing is unmatched, folks.
18. A textured compression dress for a humidity-approved upgrade to your favorite leggings. This athleisure LBD is comfy and stylish thanks to snazzy cutouts and a flared hem.
19. A V-neck romper that is heaven on earth and the proof is in the pudding. The pudding in this context = a simple silhouette paired with pockets and kitten-soft fabric.
20. A ruffled, lace-front flounce swimsuit that I fully intend on wearing as a normal don't-get-this-wet blouse. Throw on some high-waisted denim and ding ding ding, you've got an outfit winner for your next boardwalk stroll.
21. Compression shorts available in three lengths, with even the ~shortest~ version ensuring that your assets won't be on full display with every step you take. Throw in the fact that these have pockets and voila, warm weather dressing just got a whole lot easier.
22. A square-neck maxi if your TikTok algorithm is of the cottagecore variety. Do I live in an overcrowded, polluted city? Yes. But when wearing this? Mentally, I'll be baking fresh bread and playing with goats, pigs, chickens, etcetera.
23. A tie-front midi finer than any vino you'll be consuming during a multi-course dinner. This outfit *is* the bread and butter, okay!?
24. High-waisted shorts reviewers swear have remained durable for years despite the affordable price tag. World, wave hello to a wardrobe staple you'll have in your summer arsenal for decades to come.
25. A ruffle hem midi adored for pregnancy photo shoots thanks to a comfortable smocking that's super stretchy, but still retains its bodycon shape.
26. A corset top if you've shopped for similar styles in the past but have been consistently disappointed by a shoddy fit. This garden party-inspired tank comes with two sizing categories (A–C and D–E) to ensure there's the right amount of material for your cup size.
27. An off-the-shoulder midi with puffed sleeves and a smocked bust for frolicking through vineyards in an ethereal "I was a fairy in a past life" kind of way. This is an easy one-and-done outfit that requires less effort than matching a top to your favorite leggings. Plus, the breezy material will feel lovely against your skin.
28. High-waisted shorts for a cool, effortless vibe made exponentially better by pockets. Someone contact Alanis Morissette and let her know we've got her ideal summer staple.
29. An essential cropped tank that has most likely been blessed by a fairy godmother, because this takes your basic cami and goes *poof.* An instantly chic upgrade is yours for the taking due to this high-neck silhouette.
30. A one-shoulder cutout top and high-rise bottom guaranteed to have you feeling trendier than thou whilst strutting from your towel to the water. Prepare to make some ~waves~ in the #ootd Instagram department.
31. Mesh pants if you dread the juggle that is dragging stiff denim shorts over legs that are covered in sand *and* not fully dry from swimming. Presenting a trendy solution.
32. A breathable button-up shirt you'll quickly consider a jack of all trades. Beach getaway? Layer this over a bikini. Office meeting? Pair this with slacks. The world is truly your oyster with this reliable basic.
33. A knit cutout dress that is. the. best. thing you'll purchase ahead of warm weather seasons. Dare I say, I'll... actually want to make plans going forward? Just for an excuse to wear this gem?
34. A bikini set that strikes me as the kind of swimwear I'll be wearing to a point that extends beyond "outfit repeating." Kate Sanders, what would you think of me?
35. A sheer coverup with a cinched drawstring waist best accessorized with an inflatable kiddy pool if you don't have the luxury of an in-ground — because *nothing* should prevent you from wearing this lovely 'fit poolside this summer.
36. Drawstring sweat shorts to sweeten cozy air conditioned-weekends spent scouring Netflix for yet another true crime docu-series. Forensic Files coupled with hot coffee, some snacks, and this comfy hunk of loungewear? My definition of bliss.
