It’s around that time in summer when my outfit creativity is dwindling (another day, another track shorts and tee combo) and my wardrobe is craving something fresh and new to give my looks a mid-summer boost. As fashion editors, there’s no doubt our sights are already set on fall, but the reality is it’s still 90 degrees out and we have a lot more warm sunny days ahead to embrace.
To get inspired, I made a beeline to the new arrivals sections at some of my favorite retailers—J.Crew, Zara, and Nordstrom—to see what exciting newness they have to offer as we enter into the pre-fall season. Right now, I’m particularly focused on pieces that will see me through the summer months in style, yet have longevity into fall. I scoured the newest arrivals from top to bottom, and below I’m bringing you an edit of my absolute favorite styles that feel current, cool and on-trend. If you’re looking to give your wardrobe a mid-summer boost then keep scrolling.
