My answer changes every time I’m asked, but if you asked me today, I’d tell you that summer is my favorite season to shop for. There’s something about the art of wearing next to nothing, not needing to calculate how to add a coat to the final ensemble, and the colorful spirit it brings out of me. Plus, packing is easier when the forecast is 90°F, and I suddenly can do it with just a carry-on. In the winter, don’t even bother asking me to make that happen.
We’ve reached a fun point in my summer shopping since the season has officially peaked. Gone are the early days of the season when I’m still figuring out what to wear. I know exactly what my aesthetic is at this point and the trends I’m excited to shop. If I had the chance to rebuild my summer closet from scratch with no budget, you know I’d run straight to Fwrd, Net-a-Porter, and Mytheresa. Below, find my dream wardrobe, and pick up something for yourself.
