      It feels like we've been anticipating summer since the start of 2025, but it has finally arrived. Although summer isn't my favorite season (with the heat, sunlight, and bugs), it's the time I enjoy shopping the most. This season allows for greater creativity in fashion without the usual functional concerns.

      If you’ve had your eye on any exciting summer trends, now is the perfect moment to incorporate them into your wardrobe, well before we shift our focus to fall shopping. For this month's 10 Things to Buy, I've put together a selection of my favorite summer trends and essentials to wear throughout June and beyond. Continue scrolling to see the items.

      Knit Tank Tops

      First on the list is the ultimate summer basic. I often find myself wearing simple knit tanks, so I like to purchase a few new ones each summer in both neutral and trendy shades.

      Wren Knit Top

      Athletic Shorts

      I'm really enjoying the athletic shorts trend this year. For a fashion-forward take, pair them with more sophisticated pieces for a stylish contrast that creates a great outfit.

      Alo Yoga

      Motivate Track Shorts

      NIKE

      Cotton-Blend Twill Shorts

      Raffia Accessories

      From bags to hats to belts and shoes, designers have embraced raffia, and it’s been a staple summer trend for years. I don’t see this changing any time soon. Raffia adds a relaxed, effortless touch that’s perfect for June.

      Lack of Color

      Raffia Cowboy Hat

      J.Crew

      Slim Classic Belt in Faux Raffia

      Embellished Heels

      This is the season for playful heels, and the most delightful ones I’ve seen feature embellishments. Think of them as jewelry for your feet.

      Tory Burch

      Pierced Multi-Strap Heeled Sandal in Red

      Jeffrey Campbell

      Abalone Slide Sandals

      Summer Jeans

      If you’re like me and reluctant to give up jeans in the summer, you’re in luck. Brands like Levi's and Agolde offer lightweight denim options, ensuring comfort in warmer weather.

      Agolde

      Ren Jean in Shrine

      Levi's

      501 '90s Lightweight Jeans in Bold Underline

      Madewell

      The Dean Easy Straight Jean in Northridge Wash: Airy Denim Edition

      Crochet Pieces

      Crochet is currently trending, and the best items are selling out quickly. I believe crochet represents one of the prettiest summer trends of 2025, and it has a timeless quality.

      ZARA

      Halter Crochet Knit Mini Dress

      Gap

      100% Cotton Crochet Ankle Pants

      J.Crew

      Crochet Short-Sleeve Cardigan

      Jelly Shoes

      If you haven’t yet embraced the jelly shoe trend, now is the time. This is a peak summer style that you'll want to wear as much as possible right now.

      Ancient Greek Sandals

      Iro Jelly Flats

      Vince

      Barcelona Jelly Cage Mule

      Silk Scarves

      This season, people are creatively styling lovely silk scarves—using them as belts, in their hair, around their necks, and more. I suggest picking one that’s bright and special for the summer months.

      Pucci

      Printed Silk Twill Scarf

      SANDRO

      Silk Bandana Print Scarf

      & Other Stories

      Swirly-Print Square Scarf

      Versatile Dresses

      Summer is the time to reduce outfit stress and focus on enjoying life. That’s why we all need versatile dresses in our wardrobes that effortlessly transition from day to night.

      Madewell

      Poplin Smocked Maxi Dress

      ELOQUII

      Off the Shoulder Maxi Dress

      Linen Jackets

      I've noticed that tailored linen jackets are trendy this summer, and I fully endorse this. If you aim to look sophisticated while staying cool, you should definitely have one in your collection.

      Reformation

      Lucia Linen Jacket

      Posse

      Riviera Rio Checked Linen Jacket

      ZARA

      100% Linen Bomber Jacket ZW Collection
