Begin Slideshow

As pop hits blast in our headphones, hot dogs sizzle on the grill, and sand seeps into every corner of our beach bags, we’re officially in summer mode. And at Refinery29, that means embracing all the good vibes through our fashion choices.

We’re particularly eager to share our go-to denim shorts and summer dresses, along with heat-wave-ready accessories like sandals, baseball caps, and statement belts — that instantly pull a look together. We’ve also included what’s making it into our packed bags to build the best vacation outfits. Think: Foldable ballet flats, water-resistant anklets, and blister-fighting socks.

Ahead, find 17 editor-approved items of clothing, shoes, and accessories we’ll be wearing on repeat — from reader-favorite brands like Madewell, & Other Stories, and Jenny Bird to new discoveries like Chord and Shezza.

All linked products are independently selected by our editors. If you purchase any of these products, we may earn a commission.
