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 beauty editor, I take my summer beauty prep seriously. I mean it, too—researching, testing, and curating beauty products is my passion-which means I love skincare, makeup, and hair care products.

In many ways, the season feels like a fresh start—like we're collectively assembling a supply of beauty products this summer—and I want my beauty routine to reflect that

One of my favorite summer products, this one never fails to make my face look incredible thanks to a combination of moisturizing oil and golden flecks of shimmer. I slather this stuff on for post-beach dinners, date nights, you name it. This summer, my goal is to buy less of them and reconfigure my routine to be more intentional and deliberate.

The only thing left to do is to refresh my at-home beauty collection with summer-appropriate products. I'm talking about things like shimmering body oil, bright lipstick, and natural-looking foundation. You know, my summer beauty staples. And if they happen to be high-end, luxury products, well, I'll gladly make the investment. Ahead, see every beauty product on my summer wish list.

Trust me, keep scrolling down. We're sharing all our picks in every category, from skincare to makeup, hair care, fragrance and beyond, these beauty products will build my summertime routine.
