This summer, I’m embracing pieces primed for hot days in the city as well as suitcase-worthy finds for upcoming holiday plans and wedding guest looks. As pieces continue to drop for the season, I headed to my most frequented retailers—Net-a-Porter, Mytheresa, and Nordstrom—to see the latest shopping arrivals.
The standout pieces? A mix of great seasonal staples to wear on repeat, trend-forward items, and investment-worthy designer finds. I’m ready to embrace more color, including great matching sets, swimwear in heritage prints, and cult finds from brands like High Sport. Satin dresses and lace-trimmed slip skirts are destined to be go-to pieces for date nights, while crêpe maxi dresses feel primed for a wedding guest look. Ahead, see the top pieces I would recommend shopping for summer 2025.
