📰 Fashionista's July Shopping List: 21 Items Our Editors Love
✨ Fashion Insights & Trends:
As we hit summer's halfway mark, we're focused on soaking up as many sunshine-filled days as possible. Before the fashion industry's August OOO emails start flooding in, we're reflecting on the cushioned sneakers, comfy sweatshirts and classic white V-necks that got us through July.
Some of our top sartorial finds from the month included a puff-sleeve cotton top, Charli XCX-approved ballerina sneakers and subtle "The Summer I Turned Pretty" merch (#TeamConrad). Our editors also updated their sunglasses collections this month, with small face-friendly frames, pierced lenses, a black cat-eye silhouette and an icy gray colorway. To round out our mid-summer accessories, we embraced a dainty gold ring, a grommet-adorned head scarf and a rolling bag for schlepping in style.
Ahead, see (and shop!) all of team Fashionista's favorite July fashion discoveries.
Nike Sportswear Phoenix Fleece Over-Oversized Crew-Neck Sweatshirt, $70, available here: "A little basic, sure, but this sweatshirt just has a great oversized fit (you really don't need to size up) and a luxuriously soft feel. I may or may not have worn it multiple days in a row last week, usually with the matching shorts." —Dhani Mau, Editor in Chief
Sonia Rykiel Short-Sleeve Trompe L'oeil T-Shirt, $180, available here: "I love summer, but I hate feeling sticky and gross, so my warm-weather style tends to be on the casual side. That's exactly why I fell in love with this cotton T-shirt embellished with a bejeweled bikini top. I get to enjoy the breezy laid back feel of a loose-fitting tee, while looking styled and intentional. Seemingly every single person that sees me wearing it feels compelled to compliment it. —Savannah Sitton, Market & Branded Content Editor
American Eagle x 'The Summer I Turned Pretty' Everyday Luxe Hoodie, $70, available here: "For the last three years, my friends and I have been deeply obsessed with 'The Summer I Turned Pretty,' for better or worse. For Season 3, the show went all-in on brand deals, including a very cute capsule with American Eagle. I love this comfy, heathered 'Cousins Beach' hoodie that subtly lets fellow fans know you're a devoted viewer, but also doesn't scream 'merchandise.'" —Brooke Frischer, Associate Editor and Social Media Manager
Canada Goose Cascade Sneaker, $425, available here: "I'll admit it, my shoe closet can use a purge. But there are a select few pairs you'll have to pry from my cold, dead hands, like my new go-to, all-white sneakers from Canada Goose: They're breathable, lightweight and cushioned, making them ideal for everyday. My favorite styling formula is to pair them with my matching shorts set, but honestly, you can't go wrong with any outfit." —Janelle Sessoms, Staff Writer
The Framery Didi Sunglasses, $49 $35, available here: "My longtime hunt for stylish prescription sunglasses has yielded the perfect result: The Framery's Didi. The retro-inspired style features my beloved cat-eye silhouette in a sleek black colorway that easily fits right in with my entire summer wardrobe. Now that the lenses are embedded with my prescription (because I refuse to wear contacts), my days of squinting in sunglasses are over." —Catie Pusateri, Contributing Writer
Perfectwhitetee Hendrix, $78, available here: "I've been a crewneck-only T-shirt girl for many years, but I'm starting to open myself up to V-necks. You'll (probably) never see me in the stretchy deep-Vs of my mid-aughts American Apparel past, but this Perfectwhitetee style is, well just that: the right depth with an ideal boxy shape." —Dhani
Dezi Hooked Sunglasses, $95, available here: "I have had my eye on these pierced sunglasses from Desi Perkins' eyewear brand for years now (not kidding). When the brand launched a new colorway of the frames in sleek light gold metal with icy blue lenses, it was finally my time to pull the trigger, and I'm so glad I did. These are impossibly chic and the hardware detail is subtle but statement-making." —Savannah
Bratz x Clueless Doll - Dionne, $70, available here: "I've become slightly obsessed with accumulating fabulously fashioned dolls. (I think it started when I adopted a pair of Moschino Barbies from the Fashionista office three years ago.) After Bratz announced its limited-edition 'Clueless' drop for the film's 30th anniversary, I knew I had to get my hands on the Dionne figure. (She had the best looks, obviously.) The outfits are just as amazing in mini-form, especially the character's iconic rose-adorned hat." —Brooke
Vivaia Square-Toe Lace-Up Satin Sneakerina, $159, available here: "When I saw Charli XCX wear these a while ago, I knew I had to give them a test run myself. The shoes are eye-catching yet elegant, and allow me to lean into a dainty ballerina vibe without sacrificing my sporty sneaker game. Beyond looking good, these shoes are also extremely comfortable: Even though they're quite flat, they boast plush, cushioned insoles, so I can wear them all day without aches." —Janelle
Cleobella Riley Ankle Dress, $298, available here: "Casual floral dresses are a cornerstone in my summertime wardrobe, and this navy-blue style from Cleobella elevates my beloved sundress silhouette into a cocktail-hour-approved 'fit. I love the large pink floral print wrapping around the hip and hemline, paired with its sleek square neckline and breezy cotton poplin fabric. Plus, it has (actually spacious) pockets!" —Catie
Memori Eyewear Hexagon Sunglasses in Gold, $330, available here: "It's extremely important that anyone else with a small face is aware of this brand, which makes beautiful sunglasses specifically for us. Beyond staying on my face without sliding throughout the day (a feat), the frame size is just perfectly proportional for my little head. And sizing aside, how stunning are these gold rims?" —Dhani
Seree Jade Stone Pop Grip, $28, available here: "I recently added Seree's new beaded crystal bracelets to my wrist stack (I'm an Aries, so I love carnelian) but I wish I saw these new phone grips from the brand! I can't function without a pop holder on the back of my phone, and this crystal one (available in aventurine green, quartzite pink and amethyst purple) aligns with my spiritual practices, adding a little divinity into my iPhone." —Savannah
Hulken Original Rolling Large Tote Bag, $130, available here: "This bag has been nothing short of life-changing. Making schlepping stylish is an achievement in and of itself, but the Hulken's ability to carry up to 66 pounds and still swivel on its wheels effortlessly makes this the ideal city tote for hefty travels. I've said goodbye to the deep-set red marks left on my shoulders after a grocery run and I'm never looking back." —Brooke
Hanifa Tia Bubble Shirt Dress, $229, available here: "I love a playful bubble hem, and the tie-front detail offers the perfect balance of sexy and classy. I've already imagined myself wearing this piece while strutting across the street, stopping traffic as I blast Beyoncé's 'Alien Superstar' in my earbuds. I'm definitely manifesting getting my hands on this gem just in time for New York Fashion Week." —Janelle
Rumored Toulouse Midi Dress, $158, available here: "Maybe it's just the height of picnicking season, but gingham is having quite the moment right now. This cherry pie-colored midi dress looks like it was specifically made for summertime days at the park, with its fitted bodice, flowing skirt and bow-adorned back. It's also 100% cotton, which is a must for surviving the late summer months." —Catie
EyeBuyDirect Robinson Cat Eye Gray Sunglasses, $74, available here: "I've ended up wearing these prescription sunglasses all summer long, so it's time I give them the credit they deserve. First, I love that the affordable brand offers colorful RX lenses in a number of shades with three tone options. I chose the light grey lenses in the lightest tint, for a tonal effect with the smoky transparent frame. The hybrid shape is unique and almost futuristic. Plus, these were less than $100 with my prescription added and I wear them daily. Well worth it." —Savannah
Rumored Prairie Top, $128, available here: "In the sweltering heat of New York, it's been a challenge not to constantly reach for a plain tank top every day. This adorable, lacey puff-sleeve blouse has become a far more presentable alternative. Aside from its charming, aesthetically pleasing details, it's made from an incredibly lightweight and airy cotton, so I'm never sacrificing comfort." —Brooke
Counterpart The Charger 35 Watt USB-C Cord Retractable Charger, $44, available here: "If you, too, hate unsightly charging cables, you might love this posh charger as much as I do. This little guy features a retractable cord that wraps up automatically when you push the center like a button (it's very fun to watch the cord whip out of sight). It has single-handedly changed my nightstand's tidiness, and the peachy color feels intentionally stylish (as designed by founder and artist Chloe Fields). Now, I just need one in every room of my house. This would also make a great gift; with USB-C, it charges everything from my laptop to my toothbrush to my vape battery." —Savannah
Everlane The Gauze Button-Up, $98, available here: "July's stifling humidity left me at the mercy of breathable fabrics, like this breezy, 100% organic cotton button-up from Everlane. I love its slightly puffed sleeves and tie-front detailing for a relaxed silhouette, and its light-blue stripes that instantly elevate my go-to pair of high-waisted jeans." —Catie
Guzema Duo Diamonds Eternal Ring, $550, available here: "I love jewelry, visually. But when it comes to wearing it, I can easily feel a little suffocated, which is why I like my daily jewelry to be as dainty as possible. This sweet little ball chain ring from popular Ukrainian fine jewelry brand Guzema is both tiny and strong. I can completely forget I'm wearing it, which I have been, for months. Yet it's still in like-new condition. I'm thinking it'll make a great gift for my minimalist friends this holiday season." —Savannah
Akira Oh So Chic PU Head Scarf, $45, available here: "I can't be the only one that obsessed over Paco Rabanne's grommeted headscarf from its Spring 2023 show. I wasn't able to get my hands on it, so this was a no-brainer the instant I saw it — a testament to the fact that a good piece really can live in my mind rent-free until I acquire it. I can't wait for fall." —Savannah
