The Red-Hot Stunner

Turn up the color volume with a head-turning red maxi dress. This one earns bonus points thanks to the golden embellishments.

The Mighty Mini

Follow Bieber’s lead and have fun with a playful minidress. Balance the sweetness with quirky socks and flats for the ultimate cool-girl statement.

The Pretty Pastel

Soft blues are trending right now. Opt for a dress in the must-have hue, then add a bit of height to your look with strappy sandal wedges. And if you’re on vacation, all you’ll need to pack is one raffia bag to easily go with any outfit.

The Perfect Print

Nothing screams summer fun more than a tie-dye print. Elevate the cool pattern by opting for an eye-catching halter, fringed miniskirt, cutout sandals, and the coveted bag of the season.

The Color Splash

Have fun mixing and matching with Jacquemus and Oséree’s sunset-inspired hues. Gold accents will add the perfect finishing touches.

The Playful Pieces

Elevate a pair of denim shorts by styling them with a hero bodysuit like Christopher Esber’s. Tall wedges and an embellished bag will be the icing on the cake.

The Head-to-Black Look

Minimalists, add interest to your all-black outfits with silver details, like the studs on Isabel Marant’s belt and the grommets on Zara’s little straw tote.

The Cool Glam

Want a look that stuns yet feels effortlessly cool at the same time? An ultra-glam sequin skirt is the way to go—just tone it down with a simple white tank top.

The Boho Revival

Boho is here to stay! Dabble into the carefree spirit with fringe, crochet, and lace-up sandals.

The Metallic Magic

No need to wear a pair of heels when your dress shines this bright. For any beachside soirées, slip on a pair of minimalist flats with a sparkly dress to dance the night away.

The Printed Pairings

A coordinating set takes the guesswork out of what to pack. Sir’s one-shoulder silhouette is perfect for partying until the sunrise.
