To navigate the next few months in style, curating an edit of the best summer wardrobe essentials is key. Summer in the city, in particular, calls for cool separates to beat the heat. Look to minimalist pieces in airy fabrications like crisp cotton poplin and breezy linen, with trends like relaxed long shorts, sheer textures and mini everything coming into play. As always, chic summer dresses and woven raffia bags are always in order to evoke the carefree mood. For evening, it’s slinky, quietly sensual standbys like the slip dress or skirt paired with barely there sandals—less really is more. Shop our curated FWRD edit of summer staples below.
