Wearing a pair of pants isn’t completely out of the question during summer - especially if they happen to look like this. Beautifully cut, with a hint of slouch that doesn’t take away from a smart silhouette, these luxuriously soft pants pull right on and feel like a second skin. Pair them with a casual top for an easy, just-polished-enough look, or go head-to-toe dressy with a crisp blazer when it cools down.$110 at madewell.com

The sensation of a faint breeze tickling your skin is one married almost exclusively to summer - and one we like to take full advantage of whenever possible. This simple-meets-luxe top is one way to do so, allowing you to really keep your cool and enjoy Mother Nature in all her glory. It’s perfect for pairing with your fave beach wear, white jeans or a flowing skirt. Also in pink.
Set aside the glitzy metallics and simple blacks in favor of a nautical-chic clutch for those balmy summer nights. The perfect complement to any warm weather look, this roomy straw clutch is bolstered by a shot of blazing pink for a fun and unexpected touch. It’s an easy, no-fuss option you’ll love showing off all season.
The complete antithesis of ultra-casual, less-than-glam flip flops, these flat sandals step in and serve as the perfect alternative to a pair of dressy heels. They’re just as elegant, with minimal gold hardware accenting the sinewy, sculpted straps. The curves create a design just right for complementing your most carefree summer ensembles - think flowing maxis, cute minis and more. Also in brown and turquoise.
Known for her exquisite, classic pieces, designer Lela Rose collaborated with LOFT this season to introduce a limited-edition collection of four effortlessly chic dresses in a palette of quietly elegant hues. The light colors aren’t all that will keep you looking and feeling cool in the heat; the beautiful designs, like this timeless floral in crisp cotton, feel at once fresh and glamorous, yet understated enough to wear at any time of day.
