I Just Spent Hours on Ssense—17 Standout Pieces I Found for Summer
Ssense is one of my favorite places to shop for a mix of interesting basics and emerging designers. The retailer carries a range that spans household names like Levi's and Skims to niche labels such as Conner Ives and Judy Turner. It's always a reliable place to shop for its unique curation, including brands such as Baserange, Caro Editions, Fruity Booty, Guizio, Hai, Matteau, and Paloma Wool.
A specific item I'm loving right now is Flore Flore's Jill Tank Top, which feels like the ideal summer basic. I've also been eyeing a swimwear set from I'm Sorry by Petra Collins that's now on sale: $17 for the top, $14 for the bottoms, and $25 for the skirt—all of which are currently in my cart. For accessories, I found a fun scrunchie from Maryam Nassir Zadeh and chic Tom Ford Iggy Sunglasses.
When it comes to shoes, kitten-heel sandals are a summer staple, like Aeyde's Black Vero Leather Mule Heeled Sandals. Jelly shoes are back again this season, especially pairs from Ancient Greek Sandals.
Here are the 17 pieces that feel perfect for summer 2026, starting at $14.
