Summer is officially here so you know what that means: time for outdoor celebrations. From welcome dinners to wedding weekends to picnics in the park to vacations and brunches, once the weather gets warm, outdoor dining venues take advantage. Summer's return is already posing challenges for my wardrobe, so it's time to get creative with simple outfit formulas.

There's nothing better, in my humble opinion, than what happens to our wardrobes once warm weather encroaches-the time of year when we’re leaning into relaxed styles that are comfortable and easy to wear. The heroes of our current rotation are natural fabrications, and separates that can be layered, or thrown on and worn on their own. Whether you're dressing for a heatwave, a work day, or a wedding, wearing chic separates will always be a fail-proof choice. Therefore, it's imperative to find versions of this staple that fit our needs for the season—whether that means finding options that fit our budget, sartorial preferences, or daily lifestyle. But that doesn't mean your style has to suffer.

Ahead, I've curated a selection of the 28 best fashion finds for summer. Fair warning: these separates will likely become one of your favorite parts of summer. I have my sights set on so many stunning bags, tops, dresses, mesh flats, trousers, pointed toe shoes, handbags and jewelry (among other items), you'll find something for every style and budget below.

These finds all feel peak summer 2024 and have the elegant and timeless qualities that are set to define fashion for the season ahead. Keep scrolling to take a look at the summer–ready outfits I'm re-creating this summer.

As a fashion editor, I'm constantly looking out for the latest trends, emerging brands, and new items dropping at retailers. It's my job to bring you the best finds I think deserve a place in your wardrobe. That's why I'm whipping them up in a column dedicated to the buys I would personally put my money behind and test-drive in my wardrobe. As we approach spring and refresh our wardrobes accordingly, smart layering is key to everyday style. Having perused the usual stomping grounds, I’ve rounded up an edited assortment of button-downs, silk tops, shorts, polo sweaters, trousers, denim maxi skirts, quiet luxury handbags, jewelry and accessories from Theory, Toteme, Aeyde, Miu Miu, House Of Cb, Sporty & Rich and more.

In addition, I have a specific style that blends my penchant for minimalism and tomboy, so you'll find items across the board here. The common thread? A mindset for supporting amazing design talent and investing in things I plan on wearing for years to come. So let me take you on a virtual shopping trip, where I'll highlight all the pieces I think are worth adding to your cart.
