“I call this my ‘high summer-in-the-city’ go-to: Kallmeyer white denim trousers and a knit black tank from Matteau dressed up with Ulla Johnson shell earrings that aren’t too shell-y. It works for sweltering subway stations and chilly office temps.” —Chloe Malle, Editor, Vogue.com

The Seaside Ensemble
“Jenny Bird is onto something with her seaside-inspired collection that embraces the ‘nomadic spirit’ of summer. With her Petra shell necklace as my guide, I found myself drifting away with the Mediterranean tides during my recent stay in Greece. A statement piece for the most peaceful sunbathing days on the beach of Cove Paros to dinner at their seaside restaurant, Rada, the shells seemingly found a home from sunrise to sunset. For the final evening of the holiday, I paired the piece with a Sandro knitted dress and have never felt more grounded.” —Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, fashion editor

The Capsule Wardrobe Wild Cards
“I recently realized that a capsule wardrobe doesn’t have to be boring. I’ve been wearing my black bloomer shorts from Charlie Beads nonstop—the babydoll silhouette is so versatile, adding a bit of fun to an otherwise simple outfit. Speaking of versatility, why choose one metal when you can have both? While the girlies debate whether they like silver or gold best, I don’t see the need to play favorites. I found my new favorite mixed-metal pieces from Mejuri.” —Conçetta Ciarlo, associate manager, events

Red is a color that I’ve been drawn to for a while now, but polka dots are my newfound obsession.” —Molly Barstein, associate manager, Audience Development

My goal was to inject more maturity, playfulness, and flirty vibes into my closet, and these slingback kitten heels from Mango (a brand I adore) are exactly what I needed. Kitten heels can turn any dull, old outfit into something Carrie Bradshaw would wear, and that’s all the better.” —Maya Layne, entertainment associate

I was on the hunt for a versatile piece that could transition into fall, and this dress fits the bill perfectly—whether paired with kitten heels, boots, or sneakers, there are endless styling options. Additionally, with a trip to Spain coming up at the end of this month, I decided I needed (read: wanted) a new pair of comfortable sneakers for long days of sightseeing (read: tapas and sangria-drinking). I chose these Onitsuka Tigers which are neutral enough to pair with any outfit while adding a fun little pop of color with the stripe detail.” —Sam Ravin, associate manager, social and creative

They’re my new personality. I’ve also been searching for the perfect tank top for ages, and at last, I found it. This Another Tomorrow tank is incredibly soft, has a great slim fit, and goes with everything. I’ll be living in it for the rest of the summer.” —Leah Faye Cooper, digital style director

It ticks every box, and is easily my new favorite piece.” —Clarissa Schmidt, marketing & production manager

But dressing for a gala in a beach town is always a tricky thing to do—Watermill is, after all, a beach town! Upon seeing this strapless Bernadette midi, my dress-search was immediately over. The gingham print says easy-breezy Hamptons, while the taffeta material says gala-ready. Plus, it paired perfectly with my vintage wicker bag.” —Lilah Ramzi, contributor

I was recently introduced to Coucou Intimate’s basics at a Glossier event. As somebody who prefers to sleep in a top with… well, top support, I love the cotton tanks and bras. Pretty and functional.” —Margaux Anbouba, senior beauty and wellness editor

“Walking on the streets of New York at the moment is like going through a sauna every day. I’m seeking lightweight comfort in everything I wear or carry. I recently picked up a pair of adorable black satin Proenza ballet flats—they give me the nostalgia for my childhood ballerina days, all while collecting daily compliments from colleagues. Next up is my bag…I’ve been in the market for a ludicrously capacious summer tote to toss my laptop in, and an open-weave knit style seemed like the perfect fit. While on the subject of knots and knits—this one-shoulder knit tank is my favorite addition to my growing capsule collection.” —Conçetta Ciarlo, events associate manager

Vacation Flip-Flop
’Tis the season to be jolly (at least for those of us submerged in the world of fashion all year round), as August is to summer what December is to winter. Though lacking in holidays, the rare slow pace of the latter month of summer offers weeks of much needed rest, time away with family and friends, and summer getaways before the storm that is fashion month. Ahead of August travels, Calpak’s Ambeur carry-on luggage and classic Tkees’s classic flip-flops were quickly added and even more quickly checked out of my July shopping cart.” —Ciarra Lorren Zatorski, fashion editor

The Elegant Poolside Attire
“In July, as the sun shone brighter and the days stretched longer, I made two fabulous additions to my beach wardrobe. First up, the perfect swimsuit for sun-soaked days: a stunning one-shoulder bikini by Angelys Balek, a Phuket-based designer known for her playful yet sophisticated beachwear. The single-shoulder top channels ’70s styling, while the twisted cut-out adds a modern touch. But my summer shopping spree didn’t stop there. To complement my new bikini, I turned to the house of Missoni for a pair of its signature and oh-so-chic zigzag shorts, which are also lightweight and breezy for the upcoming dog days of August. Together, these two purchases have become my go-to uniform for sunny beach and pool days.” —Sasha Pinto, experiences manager

Zendaya-approved, incredibly cushiony but somehow lightweight, these are ultra-comfortable to wear on a long walk or to play tennis.

“I recently picked up this adorable polka-dot maxi for an upcoming trip, and in my opinion, it is an absolute gem for those breezy vacation nights. The ruching and delicate ruffles add a touch of whimsical charm and the cutout detail keeps it fun for a night out.”—Sam Ravin, creative development senior associate

The Summer Wardrobe Staples
“In June, I officially hopped on the jort train. I picked up this pair from SER.O.YA earlier in the month and I now find myself grabbing for them more than I would like to admit. When I’m not wearing my new favorite shorts, I am usually in a dress and this one from The Garment via The Frankie Shop is a recent favorite. It can be worn as a coverup to the beach or out at night with some chunky jewelry and a strappy sandal.” —Taylor Lashley, social media manager
