As I write to you from a rainy day in NYC, I'm dreaming of the days when I can reach into my closet, pull out a dress and pair of sandals, and enjoy the sun. All I want is easy dressing, simple outfit curation, and to leave my apartment without a jacket in hand. But for now, I'll settle for casually browsing SSENSE's summer arrivals, especially from Paloma Wool, Loulou de Saison, Citizens of Humanity, and more. These brands have separates and accessories that make formulaic dressing look cool. To discover my top 16 summer picks from the retailer, keep reading.
Easy Dresses
Dresses are what I wear most in the summer, whether I'm in the city or on the coast. This year, sheer fabrics and lace trims are especially on trend.
Footwear + Accessories
My current wish list: oversize sunnies, fringe pouches, ballet flats, and thong wedges. If I have it my way, that list will be checked off by the designer finds below, specifically those from Gucci and Alaïa. Discover other accessories from SSENSE here.
Summer Separates
For separates, I want basics with a twist. Whether it's a halter top or V-neck tank, Bermuda shorts or a midi skirt, these staples feel current and anything but boring.
