What to Wear When It’s HOT (Like... Really Hot)
When it feels like the sidewalk might melt, getting dressed shouldn't be a struggle. The key? Keep it light, keep it flowy, and keep it cute. Whether you're running errands, hitting brunch, or just trying to survive a heatwave in style, we've got you covered (barely, but in a good way). Shop the summer heat wave edit:
1. Breezy Dresses > Everything
When it’s 90 degrees by 9 AM, the only acceptable answer is a throw-it-on-and-go dress. We're loving the Lindsey Dress in both white and black. This silhouette from Rails features clean lines and a straight, loose fit that feels like air. Also not to be missed from Z Supply: the Benson Dress. It’s giving “effortless Euro beach summer” and we are very into it.
2. Hello Linen, Our Old Friend
Nothing says I know what I’m doing like linen in the heat. The Akira Top and Henri pant combo from Z Supply is modern linen we're obsessed with. The Janet Dress by Velvet and Daphne Dress by Frank & Eileen are also linen pieces we are reaching for this summer. Sophisticated pieces that breathe in fresh breezes and exude confidence.
3. The Dress Everyone’s Talking About
The new Palazzo Dress from Rails is basically summer perfection. It’s got that easy, drapey thing going on but still feels totally pulled together and on-trend. We’re torn on whether to put it in our dress edit or let it steal the spotlight here… Either way, it’s a YES.
4. The Cool Girl Formula
When in doubt? Go with the classics: denim shorts, a great top, and accessories that do the heavy lifting. The Babina Top is one of our cool girl must-haves. She's basically part of our summer uniform. Add sunnies, a structured woven bag, maybe some slides, and suddenly it’s a look. Bonus points for gold jewelry and a fresh iced coffee.
