I'm not going to pretend that you need anything from this list you're about to scroll through. My colleagues have already covered Amazon Prime Day's most practical wardrobe solutions, useful travel essentials, and effective skincare products, so I decided to take a different approach and curate my favorite on-sale pieces that are simply nice to have. Ruffled socks aren't exactly indispensable, for example, but they are fun and whimsical, and that has to count for something, right?

Below, I rounded up my favorite little luxuries that are meant to put a smile on your face. They aren't the most pragmatic purchases in the world, but I guarantee you they'll earn compliments galore. There's a pair of pink kitten heels, pastel satin pajamas, a gingham workout set, cute floral dresses, simple stud earrings, trendy sunglasses, and more. Scroll down to shop my favorite items from Amazon Prime Day 2026.

This summer, especially compared to any other, is the season of sports. But between the hat trick of athletic performances dominating the cultural zeitgeist—F1! FIFA World Cup! NBA Championship!—Wimbledon remains the crown jewel event.

For a fortnight, the usually quiet neighbourhood in South West London gets taken over by the most stylish spectators about. Washed in pristine whites, soft blues and perhaps the odd chartreuse ensemble—as a nod to the colour of tennis balls, of course—the annual championship serves as the pinnacle of sportif excellence.

Since tickets are hard to come by at the best of times, let alone if you’re one of the odd tens of thousands who queue for on-the-day entry to the grounds, those who make the pilgrimage to the All England Lawn Tennis Club ensure their ensembles are polished as Serena Williams’ signature power serve.

Indeed, with the courtside seats being such a hallowed and covetable item, the fashion of those in attendance must reflect the heritage and customs of this Great British institution. Whilst Wimbledon does not have an official dress code, there is one that is self-imposed, mainly reflecting the posh legacy and strict tradition of the sport itself. Still, no one does this better than the members of the celebrity style set who flock to Centre Court each July.

It’s not hyperbolic to describe Wimbledon as the world's oldest and most prestigious tennis tournament, and the starry audience certainly reflects this status. Kate Middleton! Margot Robbie! Zendaya! Though they match the drive and determination exhibited in each set in their own respective fields, they also share a devotion to making the off-court proceedings as sartorially interesting as the ones on it.

Nowadays, they have to compete with the players themselves for the title of best dressed, including Coco Gauff’s Miu Miu x New Balance kit and Aryna Sabalenka’s insane Audemars Piguet Royal Oak collection. However, they have the upper hand in being able to push the boundaries of the de facto uniform, whether it be Charli XCX showing up in a vampy lace mini or Sabrina Elba wafting through the arena in balmy summer essentials.

Regardless of whether you’ll actually be watching the Grand Slam itself, these iconic looks are certainly an ace. Without further ado, discover the best celebrity Wimbledon outfits of all time, ahead.

The 11 Best Celebrity Wimbledon Outfits of All Time

1. Olivia Rodrigo

Style Notes: Olivia Rodrigo always had guts when it comes to her personal style, whether it be performing on stage in punk-esque babydoll dresses and combat boots or wearing the iconic Shalom Harlow look from Todd Oldham’s spring/summer 1995 collection to celebrate the release of her sophomore album. For her debut outing at Wimbledon, the singer-songwriter continued her reign of vintage in a red-and-white gingham Ralph Lauren dress that dates back to the spring/summer 2000 season. For the uninitiated, Ralph Lauren is the official Wimbledon outfitter, so her decision to eschew new season styles from something with fashion credo certainly feels true to her personal style.

2. Zendaya

Style Notes: For her performance in Luca Guadagnino’s feisty sports drama Challengers, Zendaya took method dressing to the next level by cropping up in the stands of famous tennis championships to promote the film. In addition to the red carpet, the actress attended Wimbledon in 2024 in full spectator regalia. Once again proving how synonymous Ralph Lauren is with the championship, she wore a crisp white blazer, elongated white maxi skirt, seersucker striped shirt and a tie. Earlier that week, she wore the same tie and shirt in a more relaxed manner, loosening it around her neck and styling these conventional menswear staples with a chevron-stripe blazer and black trousers. She is a style chameleon, after all.

3. Margot Robbie

Style Notes: Margot Robbie, despite her Australian pedigree, has made herself a home away from home here in the United Kingdom. (Who can forget the stories from her share house days in Clapham?) So, it should come as no surprise that she looked the part for her first Wimbledon appearance in 2024. Wearing a polka-dot, cape-style dress from Alaia, the look was not only memorable for the way she subverted a classic motif into something far more contemporary, but it also marked her first outing since announcing her pregnancy. With a luxury maternity wardrobe, she made the men’s singles semi-finals a more high-fashion affair, courtesy of this totally important designer.

4. Charli XCX

Style Notes: Charli XCX’s contributions to fashion are insurmountable, but if we were to list a few, we’d have to mention her revival of the strappy white top, the advent of incredibly little leather shorts and, of course, the popularity of the lurid shade of Brat green. However, we’d contend that this all-black outfit is one of her more vital additions to fashion’s canon. Any seasoned fashion editor would tell you, wearing this dark hue during summer’s blistering heat is not for the faint of heart. But given this is the dark princess of pop that we’re discussing here, we can’t think of anything more apt.

5. Alexa Chung

Style Notes: Alexa Chung’s style evolution can be traced through her Wimbledon appearances, from her Jane Birkin-meets-Wendy Darling early days to her Debbie Harry-meets-Betty Catroux approach to fashion now. The latter—in all its insouciant and effortlessly cool glory—is best exemplified by the look she wore in 2023. Eschewing the desire to dress up or go all out for this main event, Chung preserved her individuality and devotion to elevated wardrobe essentials by ditching the frock and opting for a pair of stovepipe jeans, a beige button-down and a purple jumper, which she styled around her neck like a scarf.

6. Kate Middleton

Style Notes: Kate Middleton, the Princess of Wales, is as much of a Wimbledon mainstay as a pint of Pimms or a saccharine punnet of strawberries and cream. As the patron of the All England Lawn Tennis Club, not only is she a regular fixture in the royal box, but she also has the honour of presenting trophies to the men’s and women’s winners. As a result, her looks are always more heightened and considered compared to her contemporaries. Whilst there’s a flurry of gorgeous Jenny Peckham, Alessandra Rich and Emilia Wickstead silhouettes to choose from, her most notable has to be this royal purple dress from Safiyaa. Worn in 2024, the look marked one of her first official appearances following her cancer diagnosis and was rendered in a colour that has always been tied to monarchs, symbolically honouring her own contributions to regal fashion over the years.

7. Princess Diana

Style Notes: Princess Diana made close to ten Wimbledon appearances throughout the course of her life, so it’s by no means an easy feat to whittle the list down to just the one, momentous look. We’ve chosen this one because of how enduring it is. From the butter yellow colour way to the Chanel earrings and gilded bracelet, this ensemble has become the paragon for Wimbledon dressing, serving as the prime example of balancing ease and elegance whilst courtside.

8. Olivia Dean

Style Notes: Olivia Dean might croon on her sophomore album, The Art of Loving, that it’s so easy to fall in love with her. And wearing this heavenly, button yellow dress to Wimbledon in 2025, we couldn’t help but agree. A London girl through and through, she opted for a piece from independently-owned and locally-based Aym Studios. Pairing it with a sumptuous suede bag and white slingbacks, who would’ve thought that this moment would sit alongside custom Chanel and Burberry in her Pantheon of iconic looks?

Shop the Look:

9. Emma Corrin

Style Notes: Emma Corrin has one of the most experimental and avant-garde approaches to fashion, with her wardrobe brimming with unique pieces, historical references and a penchant for playing pretend. Here, the actor is clearly taking cues from their character in The Crown and channelling the daisy hues sported by Princess Diana during her tenure at Wimbledon. To make the look more their own, Corrin opted for an oversized, boxy suit, brogues and Miu Miu’s Arcadie bag.

Shop the Look:

10. Sabrina Elba

Style Notes: Now, we simply can’t talk about ease and effortlessness without mentioning this incredible Sabrina Elba look. In a wafty, white tank top, loose and fluid linen trousers and black strappy sandals—not to mention The Row bag she has tucked under her arms—the model-turned-mogul proved pomp and show need not be a compulsory part of the Wimbledon dress code.

Shop the Look:

11. Andrew Garfield + Monica Barbaro

Style Notes: Summer in London always feels like the summer of love, and nowhere is this more apparent than at Wimbledon. You’ll often see couples in the stands, sharing a punnet of strawberries and creams and barracking for one of the world’s best pros. In 2025, Oscar nominees Monica Barbaro and Andrew Garfield did exactly that, wearing matching all-white ensembles from Ralph Lauren. Honestly, we’re unsure which outfit we love more.

If you're anything like me and left your sale shopping to the last minute, then today is the day to get on it and take full advantage of the major discounts to be had across all categories, including beauty, home, tech, and fashion.

The summer solstice has officially declared the arrival of the new season, but for months now, stylish people have been adding one summer accessory to their wardrobe rotations. As soon as the skies brighten and days lengthen, the mark of warm weather can be seen by the return of the beloved Dragon Diffusion bags. Whilst there are many woven styles around, this brand knows how to do it right, and every single year it remains a cult favourite. Now, I've decided to add one of these best-selling styles to my forever collection, and after plenty of sightings, I've settled on the sleek and spacious Egola bag.

The handbag brand has made waves since its inception, decorating the arms and Instagram feeds of the most stylish people around, and for good reason. Dedicated to timeless, understated, and enduring designs, the bags are intricately woven leather pieces that feel equally at home stomping through the streets of London as they are sunning on the Côte d'Azur. Whilst we frequently celebrate these woven styles in summer months, you'll notice them taking on autumn rain and chilly winter breezes equally well, and with all seasons, all trend cycles and all destinations covered, it's no surprise that fashion people have declared this brand truly worth it.

Recently, I decided that it was time to add one to my collection. As a handbag-obsessed editor, it takes a lot of consideration before anything makes it into my treasured handbag shelves, but the Egola bag met my high standards with ease. Sitting between structured and supple, tactile in finish and intricately crafted from 100% leather, this is a bag that I can see myself wearing for many years to come. Unlike my summery raffia bags, this style feels slightly more elevated, able to bring a touch of polish to my workwear looks as well as feeling at home on trips to the beach. Now, the hard part is choosing which colourway to go for. Keep scrolling to shop the Dragon Diffusion Egola bag, and explore more woven summer bags we adore.

The reign of ballet flats is far from over, and the trend is proving to be one of the most versatile shoe choices across seasons. Hence, there's no better time for a compilation of summer outfits with ballet flats.

Like the mesh, Mary Janes, studs and woven flats of autumn and spring, summer has just as many potential outfit combinations that shine with this shoe type. Flats carry the sophistication of a heel, without the usual discomfort, and an elevated aesthetic that often surpasses that of more casual flip-flop and sandal styles.

I'll be honest—I've approached the current resurgence of ballet flats with scepticism. The last pair I wore were metallic pink with a chiffon bow, circa 2014. Of course, times have changed, and I'll be the first to admit that ballet flats bring much more to the metaphorical fashion table now. They're truly a workhorse of a summer shoe. Sarah Pidgeon styled hers with bootcut jeans recently, and fashionable French women have been pairing theirs with cropped jeans.

Yet, what I find most compelling about flats is how elegant they are without stifling your feet. Even though they feature a closed toe, they feel less stuffy than a loafer or high-vamp heel when it's hot out. It's clear their comeback is absolutely warranted.

Since these shoes are firmly planted in our wardrobes for the foreseeable, here are six lovely summer outfits to wear with ballet flats that you can turn to again and again all season.

6 Summer Outfits with Ballet Flats to Wear in 2026

1. Lace Mini Dress + Netted Mary-Jane Ballet Flats + Raffia Bag

Style Notes: Sometimes the simplest outfits are the most stylish, and that's certainly the case for a mini dress and ballet flats. In just two pieces, you'll feel put together, though the right accessories can make it feel all the more fashionable. Take it from Lisbon-based stylist Débora Rosa, who added a basket bag and oval sunnies to her outfit. Her choice of a romantic, boho-style dress and sleeker black flats also create the perfect level of contrast.

2. Linen Top + Balloon Trousers + White Ballet Flats

Style Notes: With balloon trousers trending, and linen shirts always returning each summer, I've been searching for options to wear with these other than flip-flops or sandals. Ballet flats are an excellent choice, as their low profile and chic silhouette don't compete for attention against the volume of a balloon trouser or laid-back appeal of linen—however, they still feel polished. This pairing looks exceptionally pretty in a tonal palette, too, as Oslo-based fashion creator Nnenna Echem has done.

Shop the Look:

3. Cardigan + Lace-Trim Shorts + Black Flats

Style Notes: One of the prettiest looks that has carried over from spring is the lace trend. Showing up in the form of lace-trim skirts, shorts and dresses, these delicate pieces look lovely with ballet flats. You can interpret this outfit in so many ways, whether you choose to maintain that romantic feel and wear mesh or light-coloured flats, or opt for flats that punctuate a lacy outfit, like a sleek black pair.

Shop the Look:

4. Check Top + Light Wash Denim + Colourful Ballet Flats

Style Notes: If you're looking for ways to create summer outfits with jeans, don't forget about ballet flats. With a high-neck camisole, especially one that's checked or gingham, and lighter-wash denim, you can create a look that feels summery whilst still incorporating jeans and flats. Consider flats in a similar tone that complement your jeans (such as light blue) or in a pale neutral that contributes to the lightness of the season.

Shop the Look:

5. Sheer Top + Bermuda Shorts + Mesh Flats

Style Notes: Long shorts are the look that keeps on giving, whether you're on board with the silk Bermudas trend or have found a number of ways to style Bermuda shorts to get the most out of having them in your summer capsule. But rather than just reserving them for heels and sandals, consider pairing them with ballet flats. If elegance is what you're after, I'd save New York-based fashion and beauty editor Aniyah Morinia's outfit for inspiration. An all-white ensemble with sheer textures is undeniably ethereal for warm-weather days.

Shop the Look:

6. Cotton Maxi Sundress + Ballet Flats + Pendant Necklace

Style Notes: Meet the longer outfit counterpart to the mini dress and flats look. A maxi dress looks just as elevated with ballet flats and gives you a completely different look. Whilst many mini dresses are leaning boho and lacy, a long cotton sundress feels exceptionally minimalist. Pair with a structured handbag and simple jewellery pieces for a uniform that'll remain timeless for this summer and the next.

Birkenstocks went from being the butt of every joke to the cool essential everyone stylish is wearing. It was sudden and unexpected, a bit like the flip-flop phenomenon.

While some people still have trouble grasping why the comfortable-shoe brand is so popular, it's not hard to understand why if you really look at it. The silhouettes are simple. Each style is versatile enough to wear with multiple outfits and aesthetics. Every pair is easy to slip into and makes walking 10,000 steps a breeze.

Birkenstock-Sandal Outfits

But the coolest thing about Birkenstocks is that wearing them gives you that effortless nonchalance that's so hard to achieve. Wearing a pair, especially with an elaborate outfit, just feels undeniably chic. It's like you ran out of time and just slipped into something comfortable without a care in the world. Let's be real—there aren't many shoes out there that can do that time and again.

Silhouette trends in the handbag department take years to form, but color trends can pop in just for a season and dominate. This summer, fashion insiders are embracing a spectrum of shades that range from soft and playful to rich and sophisticated. If it feels like butter yellow has been trending for a while, it's because it remains a favorite for its effortless versatility, but deep burgundy and fiery red will continue their quick and hasty takeover.

I've found it really easy to fall into the rhythm of wearing the same black bag over and over again with every outfit. It completes every look perfectly and is already stuffed to the brim with what I need on the daily. The colorful bags I own get quickly shoved to the back of my closet, but I am trying to remind myself that a touch of color is a way to make an outfit feel more summery. I most certainly will be shopping from the selection below. Whether you're looking for an investment piece or a seasonal refresh, these are the bag colors defining summer 2026.

Warm Brown

Chocolate-brown accessories have been steadily gaining momentum, and this summer, warm-brown bags are emerging as a sophisticated neutral that works with any outfit you could dream up.

Burnt Orange

Sunset-inspired shades are having a major moment, and burnt orange feels especially fitting for summer. Skip the neons and try this.

Princess Pink

Soft, romantic shades of pink are back on the fashion agenda, but summer 2026's take feels polished rather than overly sweet.

Stark White

Nothing says summer quite like a crisp white handbag. It's clean, elevated, and endlessly chic, and I just packed it for my big trip of the season.

Burgundy

If there was one color that dominated fashion over the past year, it was burgundy. The deep wine has cemented itself as a year-round staple.

Butter Yellow

Butter yellow continues its reign as fashion's favorite color story. Soft enough to function like a neutral yet playful enough to make an impact, this creamy shade has established itself as a staple.

Bold Red

For those who prefer accessories with a bit more impact, bold red bags are the ultimate statement-maker. Bonus points if you paint your nails red to match.

Millennials invented wearing dresses over jeans and now it seems Gen Z has adopted the once cringey look. At least, Olivia Rodrigo has.

While promoting her Daisy Chain Fields festival, Rodrigo posed in front of a lineup poster wearing a lacey dress, bootcut jeans and a pair of black ballet pumps. She accessorized with the Paloma Wool Cayetano bag everyone is wearing. It was the perfect summery look that felt casual but cool.

Olivia Rodrigo's Outfit

On Olivia Rodrigo: Paloma Wool Cayetano Bag ($360), Ray-Ban Original Wayfarer Classic ($153), Repetto Camille Ballet Flats ($470).

It's the kind of outfit formula we could also see ourselves repeating all summer. The jeans give it a casualness whereas the lacey dress makes it feel right for the weather. It's great for days when it isn't too hot or when you want your look to be more than just the dress. It's exactly what we would wear to the Daisy Chain Fields festival itself—and we'll be wearing it until then.

I don't know about you, but it's almost July, and I live in the South, so jeans are far from the first thing I reach for these days. That said, I'm not going cold turkey on all pants. Lightweight pairs that look seasonally appropriate are what I'm prioritizing, and given that there happen to be lots of pant trends to choose from this summer, what's one more?

While out in NYC this week, Gigi Hadid was spotted in a cool, casual monochromatic outfit that included the latest summer pant trend that admittedly isn't all that trendy. The pant trend is chinos, and if you want to get even more specific, I suggest finding a pair just like Hadid's: pleated and with a drawstring. She paired her loose, ankle-length pants with flip-flops (obviously) and a collared cardigan in a similar color over a white tank top. As per usual, she looked effortlessly chic and trend-forward in her chosen outfit, and it's easy to see why classic cotton chinos are the perfect summer 2026 swap for jeans. Keep scrolling for outfit inspiration and to shop a handful of cool pairs.

It's time to put away your sweatpants and leggings because elegant airport style is back. Dressing up for a flight is what every fashion person is doing in 2026, and everyone reading this should follow suit. Don't worry. This doesn't mean you have to wear a dress or something very restricting. The most iconic travel outfits of 2026 so far have been the elevated yet relaxed ones. Think Margot Robbie's Bermuda shorts and mesh ballet flats. This week, though, Daisy Edgar-Jones is giving us inspiration, showing us how to wear jeans and boots stylishly at the airport.

While arriving at CDG Airport in Paris, Edgar-Jones exemplified this idea in a very polished denim outfit. She wore ecru jeans paired with a fitted white tee and a brown leather bomber jacket. To accessorize the look, she opted for black sunglasses and Saint Laurent's leopard-print Mombasa Bag. Grounding the ensemble and proving that footwear doesn't have to be flat to be functional for travel, Edgar-Jones added black pointed-toe heeled ankle boots.

On Daisy-Edgar Jones: Saint Laurent Mombasa Bag ($4000)

I used to only wear leggings and sneakers to the airport, but after seeing how celebrities dress when traveling time and again, I decided it was time to put more thought into my travel outfits and dress up a bit. After all, if I can wear jeans with loafers or a maxi dress with ballet flats to sit at my desk for six hours, why can't I do the same for travel?

All that said, I will be re-creating Edgar-Jones's airport outfit. If you are on the same page, keep scrolling because I've rounded up the chic pieces to get her look, including a variety of elegant heeled ankle boots.

Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We'll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.

I take my workout wardrobe just as seriously as the rest of my closet. In fact, a great activewear outfit is often the extra push I need to actually make it to class. After months of bundling up in layers, summer feels like the perfect time for a refresh.

I'm a sucker for a matching set (as you'll see below), and I love it even more when my sneakers tie my whole look together. So when I decided it was finally time to clean out my overflowing activewear drawer, I used one simple rule: If I wouldn't wear it to a workout class tomorrow, it had to go. The 39 pieces below survived the purge. Plus, I've included a few new additions that immediately earned a spot in my rotation.

Amazon Prime Day will soon be wrapping up, but there's still plenty of time to get your last-minute orders in. A category you may not have thought about shopping yet is fall shoes. Sure, there are still many summer days to get through before fall arrives, but one of the best categories to shop early happens to be fall footwear, as you can feasibly start wearing some pairs now.

It's been months since the fall/winter 2026 shoe trends made their runway debuts, so brands have already started putting the fresh styles out in the world. I pinpointed five trends, in particular, that are all over the Amazon Prime Day offerings, from a pair of $19 violet ballet flats to animal print (yes, again) in the form of $112 calf-hair boots.

Summer sale season is here, and I’m determined to snap up all my expensive-looking warm-weather capsule staples at a discount. I’ve already spent hours scrolling through Zara’s elegant sale collection; however, on the hunt for staples that are a little less trend-led, I've decided to look to Zara’s sophisticated older sister, Massimo Dutti.

Polished, anti-trend and with immaculate quality, Massimo Dutti is known for its refined silhouettes, timeless colour palette and commitment to natural fibres. Because of this, the brand sits at a significantly higher price point than Zara, making the summer sale the ideal time to invest in some chic buys. Me personally? I have my eye on the high-street hero’s elegant dress collection, breezy but sophisticated linen, as well as a number of pretty top styles that I can use to polish up my jeans.

Now, I’m well aware that the large number of items in any sale can feel overwhelming, so I decided to focus my attention on the thirteen Massimo Dutti pieces that are sure to make all of my summer outfits look chicer.

When packing for a day at the beach, be it on vacation or just a nearby strip of sand, one would traditionally pair their swimsuit with one of two things: a pair of shorts or a cover-up. It's basically always been this way, and in some ways, I agree that what's not broken doesn't need to be fixed. But then I saw a few cool dressers ditching both of the above options for a slightly more unconventional beach layer. Suddenly, beach pants are a thing, and while your legs might get warm, they certainly look chic, especially when you go the unsubtle route, opting for playful bottoms as opposed to simple white or ecru linen. Plus, they offer increased sun protection, which is something I'll always back.

This is just one of those trends that pops up, then pops up again, and before long, every seaside person you follow has tossed out their long sheer dresses and denim cutoffs in favor of something a bit more interesting—like, say, a pair of sheer genie pants or some intricately patterned High Sport kick-flare pants. It's fun to change things up, and honestly, the beachwear space was in need of a shake-up.

Before you head on vacation this summer or even just on the A train to Jacob Riis Park, consider swapping out your shorts or traditional cover-up for the resort trend of the year. Tip: Don't pick the boring pair of beach pants. Take a risk. I promise it'll pay off.

Jazz shoes have officially joined the ranks of colorful ballet flats, beaded sandals, and ballet sneakers as one of the season's defining footwear trends. While they share similarities with classic oxfords, these popular flats—also called derby shoes—are distinguished by thinner soles and softer, more flexible leather.

The style's resurgence was first signaled on the runway in Michael Rider's debut resort 2026 collection for Celine. Rider further solidified the trend in the S/S 26 show, pairing the shoes with everything from tailored ensembles to miniskirts. Since then, jazz shoes have gained significant momentum, even securing a spot on Lyst's Hottest Products list.

In-the-know celebrities have quickly adopted the shoe trend too. Recently in London, Gracie Abrams showcased the style, donning a black pair with a white graphic tee, white drawstring pants, a black Chanel Maxi Flap Bag, and a Boston Red Sox cap. Other notable fans include Charlize Theron and Tracee Ellis Ross, who have both been spotted in the low-key flats in recent weeks.

Whether styled with a pretty maxi dress, classic denim, or relaxed trousers, jazz shoes provide an effortlessly polished finish that perfectly captures the current desire for refined yet easy dressing. If you're inspired, I've rounded up the best jazz and derby shoes on the market right now.

If you'd told me a few summers ago that tankinis would be back on my swimwear mood board, I probably wouldn't have believed you, yet here we are. After years of minimalist, quiet luxury black bikinis dominating beaches and Instagram feeds alike, fashion people are suddenly reaching for a decidedly more nostalgic swim trend—the tankini.

Before visions of the tankinis you remember from the mid-2000s start flashing through your mind, just know that this revival is a lot more fashion-forward than its early-aughts predecessor. The new wave of tankinis is much more playful, and textured fabrics, retro prints, and bright color stories make the style feel surprisingly fresh. The 2026 version of a tankini is often styled with low-rise bikini bottoms, a far cry from its modest mid-2000s iteration that often emphasized as much coverage as possible.

What's interesting is that this comeback has little to do with the reason tankinis became popular in the first place. In the early aughts, the silhouette was often marketed as an alternative for those who didn't want to wear a traditional bikini. Today's version isn't really about covering up—it's about leaning into nostalgia.

Gen Z has already revived everything from capri pants to jelly sandals, so it was only a matter of time before swimwear followed suit. For a generation that grew up seeing tankinis everywhere, the style now feels less "mom at the neighborhood pool" and more fun, kitschy, and charming.

Consider this your sign to take a break from the black bikini. This summer's tankini trend is colorful, nostalgic, and surprisingly hard to resist.

There’s an old adage that suggests you should always dress for the job you want, not the one you have. But with temperatures soaring high into the 30°s right now in London, I’m co-opting this slightly by dressing for the weather I want, not the weather I have. Doing anything right now feels like a literal chore, let alone pulling together an outfit that can keep me cool whilst looking stylish. Yet, as I stare into the deep void that is my wardrobe and have an existential crisis over everything I’ve ever bought before, Jennifer Lawrence is swanning around New York in the perfect heatwave-proof city summer outfit.

For her latest outing, the actress turned to a few trusted staples, proving that you don’t have to reinvent the wheel when it comes to piecing together a balmy ensemble. (A fitting analogy, given she was riding a bicycle for the majority of this excursion) Taking to the streets, she wore a breezy oversized striped shirt from La Ligne, a pair of crepe trousers and a pair of divisive summer shoes.

To know Jennifer Lawrence is to know she always features one eccentric or unexpected element in her outfits. In this case, she ditched the summer shoes du jour, which, for the uninitiated, are either jelly sandals or sleek flip-flops for her go-to pair. The style in question are chunky suede slides from the luxury French footwear and accessories brand, Pierre Hardy. They also feature a silver buckle, which gives them an almost Western flair, despite the only terrain she was traversing being the concrete jungle of Manhattan. (As they say, save a horse, ride a Citi Bike.)

This is the third time Lawrence has been spotted in the flats, meaning they’re either her door shoe, a term that refers to the pair of shoes you keep by your entryway in case of emergencies or can easily slip into to run errands, or she’s working hard to give this once maligned style another chance. You see, these chunky sandals have a reputation for being slightly past their prime. A more unkind read would have people calling them ugly and orthopaedic. However, with Lawrence regularly reaching for them, I have to believe that there’s more to this pair than meets the eye. And with the mercury shooting up by the day, I’m willing to give anything that’s effortless and functional a chance.

Amazon Prime Day 2026 has arrived, bringing a plethora of fashion, homeware, and beauty deals over the next few days. But as someone determined to spend money wisely this summer, I’ve made a promise to myself that I’m only shopping for products that are actually worth it. The first thing on my very short list? A pair of the Havaianas flip-flops I kept spotting on it girls during my most recent holiday. And luckily for me, I quickly found that the style I was looking for have been reduced to £12!

Whether I was at the beach, walking around my hotel or busting around the busy city, I spotted this affordable sandal style on so many chic dressers. Initially having a moment amongst fashion people in the ‘90s, these flip-flops are anti-trend, versatile and the perfect throw-on shoe to wear with your dresses, linen trousers and shorts this summer. I can just picture myself wearing these with a tank top and linen shorts for the day, and then swapping them out for a pretty slip dress and statement clutch for the evening; they’re just so easy to style.

But if that wasn’t enough to convince you, know that these cult favourites are made from a blend of Brazilian rubber, making them super-soft, durable, waterproof, and, most importantly, for the current heatwave we’re experiencing here in the UK, heat-resistant.

I have to admit, I already couldn’t resist and treated myself to a silver pair whilst on holiday; however, now that Amazon has a myriad of different colours stocked in their sale, I’ll be stocking up for this summer and many more to come.

Since summer is kicking off, I've been mapping out my wardrobe for the season. While I'm not making any big changes to my personal style, I am aiming to add some strategic pieces to my closet, ranging from versatile staples to directional pieces inspired by the best vacation looks and city outfits that are already emerging for the warm months ahead.

To bring the best 2026 summer shopping finds to you in one place, I went on a Nordstrom deep dive to uncover the coolest pieces that hit on all of the biggest trends and investment-worthy pieces this season. I'm talking about everything from sandals to tote bags. Ahead, take a look at the best 2026 summer shopping items to add to your cart from Nordstrom.

Delicate pointelle pieces are absolutely everywhere. The soft fabric has decorative eyelet holes that add a pretty, romantic element to the otherwise simple cotton items. Brands such as Cou Cou Intimates and Leset have carved out signature designs, ranging from pajama sets to tank tops to bralettes, that have landed in the closets of every fashion insider.

While many of the pieces are intended for sleepwear, we're starting to see them styled with everyday outfits. Whether it is a cardigan worn with jeans and Mary Jane flats or a cami dress paired with kitten heels, the pointelle items are now part of the 2026 It-girl wardrobe. Ahead, shop our edit of the best pointelle pieces to add to your closet.

We're in the midst of another heatwave, and, whilst the prospect of long evenings and al fresco wine and cheese is appealing, getting dressed for 35-degree weather is often dramatically less glamorous than it sounds. The secret, I've found, lies in building a wardrobe of breathable, hardworking pieces that do all the heavy lifting for you. Think easy linen dresses, airy cotton blouses, comfortable sandals and woven accessories that instantly make an outfit look more expensive. Amazon has quietly become one of my favourite destinations when it comes to the basics, with a surprising number of chic summer staples that could easily pass for designer buys.

From elegant dresses and expensive-looking sandals to fashion-editor-approved basics, these are the pieces helping me survive the heat whilst looking put-together. Keep scrolling to shop the best expensive-looking Amazon finds.

Most of us spend all year dreaming of sunshine, envisaging our best summer selves, tanned, chic and carefree. But in the UK, when a heatwave hits and we are likely sans aircon and a sea breeze, the reality of summer hits with a dull—and sweaty—thud. Whether you’re a stifled city-dweller gasping for air on the Tube, or having a marginally better time somewhere less densely populated, you’ll no doubt be feeling the effects of the hottest British weather we’ve experienced in decades. All of this to say: it's time to get sorted. And no, I'm not suggesting you go out and invest in AC, but I do think you should arm yourself with a breezy throw-on summer dress to see you through this and any subsequent hot spells.

Thankfully, we’re talking seriously low-maintenance looks; typically unstructured smocks that are voluminous in shape, generous in fit and constructed from something light and airy like cotton. For those who prefer a little more coverage, the trapeze maxi is a great alternative that’s no less airy, so long as you’re opting for natural fibres. And those braving the stuffy commute to bask in that sweet office aircon, you can still keep cool in cotton and linen in smarter, more structured silhouettes and longer hemlines. From Dôen's cult cotton midis to H&M floor-sweeping linen dresses, here's our edit of the best heatwave-appropriate dresses for when it's too hot to think for yourself.

With Amazon's Prime Day sale happening right now and ending tomorrow, June 26, it's one of the best times to save on denim. When it comes to jeans, our editors always keep an eye on Levi's during Prime Day. The label has made wardrobe staples for decades, worn by everyone from no-frills dressers to the best dressed celebrities.

Two names that immediately come to mind are Hailey Bieber and Kendall Jenner, both of whom frequently wear Levi's in street style photos. Most recently, Jenner styled a pair with The Row's Enzo Leather Loafers, and Bieber wore hers with Toteme's Leather Heeled Flip Flops. The jeans brand has also been seen on Olivia Rodrigo, Kylie Jenner, and countless others.

To shop the Prime Day deals, there's the Levi's storefront as well as The Shop by Shobop—a highly curated section that has a dedicated selection called Fan-Favorite Denim.

While browsing, I found the cult-favorite 501s in multiple styles, including the original, cropped, and '90s versions. If you prefer something baggier, more relaxed, high-rise, or somewhere in between, there are plenty of markdowns to choose from.

Ahead, shop the best Levi's discounts before the Prime Day sale is over.

Style Notes: Jenner wore her Levi's with a white T-shirt and a black sweater draped over her shoulders, accessorizing with The Row's Enzo Leather Loafers and black sunglasses.

Style Notes: Bieber styled her Levi's with a black V-neck top and a trench coat paired with Toteme's Leather Heeled Flip Flops and black sunglasses.

Ballet flats and dresses have long gone hand in hand, but fashion people are switching things up this summer. Instead, the style set is pairing their dainty shoes with shorts, specifically the season's trendiest pairs. Whether tailored, sporty, or denim, the leg-baring silhouette gives ballet flats a fresh, fashion-forward feel.

When trying out this emerging trend, keep the wrong-shoe theory—the viral styling concept coined by stylist Allison Bornstein in 2023—in mind. Case in point: ballet flats paired with gym shorts. Fashion insiders are particularly fond of styling bow-adorned leather flats with drawstring or mesh bottoms, as the contrasting pieces strike the perfect balance between sporty and romantic. However, if you prefer a more cohesive look, pair your ballet flats with tailored Bermuda shorts. Add a fitted blazer and crisp button-down, and you'll have an unexpectedly chic 9-to-5 ensemble.

This summer, put your styling skills to the test by pairing your beloved ballet flats with the five shorts trends below.

Bermuda

If Bermuda shorts have become a mainstay in your summer wardrobe, consider styling them with ballet flats. Linen styles are a natural match for the shoes, as are denim iterations. From there, all you need is a simple tee or tank top, as shown above.

Shop Bermuda Shorts

Crochet

No summer wardrobe is complete without a pair of crochet shorts. While the statement-making bottoms are often styled with flip-flops, consider branching out this season. Enter crochet shorts and ballet flats—a pairing you may have never thought to try until now.

Denim Cutoffs

How to dress up your denim cutoffs? Look no further than ballet flats. Equal parts relaxed and polished, the pairing works for just about any off-duty occasion on your calendar. Think post-work drinks, Saturday afternoon coffee dates, and Sundays in the park.

Knit Hot Pants

Though not for the faint of heart, hot pants—especially knit silhouettes—continue to win over the fashion crowd. To temper the risqué look, pair the short shorts wth romantic staples like ballet flats. For additional coverage, throw on an oversize tee or breezy button-down.

Athletic

Much like hot pants, athletic shorts can't seem to quit. In fact, fashion insiders are styling sweat, track, and running shorts with ballet flats, proving the unlikely pairing can feel surprisingly polished.

Summer is officially upon us, so we're entering the period where dresses and sandals are the stars of the show. This is the outfit combo I'll be repeating for the next few months, so now is the time to stock up on both—before temperatures reach their peak and before the best styles sell out. These two categories do the heavy lifting in the summer, so it's wise to curate a good assortment. Whether you're headed on vacation or simply prepping for the season, securing your favorite dresses and sandals is highly recommended.

I've been saving the standout styles (both for my personal collection and for this story) and have amassed a list of 39 pretty options that are stunning and under $250. I love an affordable find as much as the next person, and this summer, brands have really delivered on pieces you'll want to wear over and over again. I'm talking about lace-trim minidresses, embroidered white maxis, raffia-adorned mules, and, of course, the beaded sandals you're already seeing all over Instagram. Ready to see the list? Below, I'm highlighting the best affordable dresses and sandals for summer 2026.

I'm not much of an impulse buyer, so even during a huge sale like Amazon Prime Day which has kicked off from now through June 26, I'm still an incredibly picky shopper. I'd rather stock up on great wardrobe staples I know I'll wear over and over again—and save myself the headache of having to make any returns. I think it's the New Yorker in me—my closet space is minimal but my step count is high which means that I only care about items that are versatile and functional, but of course, chic.

With all the deals to be had across the site right now, I'm loading up my cart with only the most tried-and-true basics from premium brands like Levi's, Madewell, and Ray-Ban and restocking a few favorites I already love and wear often like my Madewell Longline Jeans (the perfect slim '90s fit), the Hanes Cotton Tanks I buy in bulk each summer, and the Beyond Yoga workout tank I would love to own in every color.

The bottom line? I hand-selected the chicest and most useful pieces from the sale that I can personally guarantee are regret-free purchases. Continue on to peruse the chic Amazon shopping finds this NYC fahsion editor won't shut up about.
