I don't know about you, but while I was busy thinking about spring and all the style decisions necessary to navigate it, summer completely snuck up on me. Usually, I try to be prepared for whatever season comes next, but given how fast the last few months have flown by, I've found myself feeling severely ill-equipped in the dressing department for June, July, and August. Luckily, I came up with a fast solution. After one afternoon spent scrolling through Reformation's, Zara's, and Nordstrom's websites, I've all but checked off everything on my summer wardrobe wish list, quelling any feelings of stress targeted at the season ahead. Now, all that's left to do is enjoy it.

Since I've never been great at keeping secrets and it is my job to make navigating the market easier on all of you, I felt it was my duty to share all of my findings from my hours of research. Ahead, you'll find it all, from easy linen pants and even easier white sundresses to viral sunglasses and controversial mesh flats. Basically, the answers to your summer style woes are all just a scroll away.
