The Best Summer Fashion, Beauty & Home Finds of 2026

For me, being near a body of water is the essence of summer. Since we’ve been at the beach house, I’m sleeping more deeply than I have in years, taking long walks before the day begins, and keeping meals so simple they barely count as cooking—fresh melon eaten over the sink, fish tacos on the grill, everything fresh and easy. There’s still some construction noise in the background, but even with that, we’re feeling settled and so grounded.

July does something to your priorities, if you let it. The list gets shorter. The days get longer. You stop optimizing and start actually living the life you’ve been dreaming about all year.

This month’s picks are a reflection of all of that—what I’m wearing (a handful of pieces, over and over), the routines that have genuinely earned their place, and a few home finds that are slowly making this house feel like ours.

Fashion

Basics That Do the Most

My current formula: Paige Anessa wide-leg jeans with the simplest top I own. These two basics from Sezane are on constant rotation—the Malcolm tee tucks in just enough to feel intentional, and the white Max shirt works as a layer or on its own. Neither one is trying very hard, which is exactly the point. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Current Purse Obsession

Speaking of things I didn’t anticipate loving quite this much: I joined Vivrelle last month and it’s been one of the most genuinely fun things I’ve done in a while. It’s a membership where you borrow designer bags, jewelry, and watches—without the long-term commitment. The YSL I’m currently borrowing has me seriously weighing whether I should just purchase it at the members’ price and keep it forever.

My Daily Jewelry Rotation

Over-accessorizing is fully in, and Electric Picks is our favorite place to lean into it. The Coco Necklace and Parker Hoops are the kind of easy, everyday pieces that make even the simplest outfit feel completely pulled together, throw them on and you look like you tried way more than you did. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Bra for the Long Haul

I just started training for the NYC Marathon and this Form sports bra has already become a non-negotiable. From long runs to Pilates, whatever the workout is, this is genuinely the most supportive bra I’ve found for all of it, and that’s not something I say lightly. Holy grail status has officially been earned.

Summer Swim Formula

It’s officially swimsuit season, and while I recently rounded up all of my favorite swim brands, there’s one silhouette that I keep coming back to: Anemos’s Midi High-Cut Bikini Bottom. Trust me, I know raving about the fit of a bikini bottom is shocking, but these are truly the only bottoms I ever want to wear. They are perfectly mid-rise to where I’m not worried about the rise getting in the way of my tanlines, and the medium coverage is exactly that–not too much, not too little. They hide everything I want to be hidden, and hit in just the right spot to flatter my waistline. They are that good. Pair with any of their tops, but I find myself gravitating towards The Jane.   — Bridget Chambers, Fashion Editor

Vacation-Ready Crochet

Allow me to introduce you to my shoe of the summer, the ODISSI Iris Flat. A cross between a ballet flat and a sandal, these crochet flats are truly the only shoe I’ve been gravitating towards as of late. The open weave allows them to be super breathable, without exposing my never-perfect pedicure. Every time I’ve worn them, I’ve gotten stopped in the street and have sold my mom, sister, and so many friends on buying a pair. Bonus points for laying completely flat in a suitcase, so they are coming everywhere with me this summer. — Bridget Chambers, Fashion Editor

Airport Outfit Approved

I’m officially obsessed with poplin for summer. You’re telling me I can wear pajamas all day and get away with it? Sold. It’s light, fun, breezy—poplin is the new linen. I love these pants with a simple tank, these boxer shorts with a white button down, and these striped blue pants with a white tee (also my official summer airport outfit).  — Brittany Chatburn, Content Marketing Director

Everyday Arch Support

So, I’ve recently become more interested in foot care? (Thanks to my doc telling me that if I don’t get better shoes, I’ll be bowlegged by my 70s.) It’s tough to find everyday sandals that are good for your arches without going full old lady, but I am truly obsessed with my brown Archie’s flip flops. I’ve convinced everyone around me to buy a pair. They’re so comfortable, only $40, and they’re my summer staple to just throw on and go with everything—poplin included. — Brittany Chatburn, Content Marketing Director

Swim That Actually Supports

Every year without fail I find myself with the horrible task of trying to find a swimsuit that is somehow comfortable, fun, and supportive all at the same time. After ordering and trying a bunch of different brands, I am fully obsessed with the pieces from Left On Friday. The fabric is thicker and supportive, while still being incredibly flattering and comfortable. I especially like the Top Shelf and Double Scoop tops for extra support. Plus, their color selections are SO fun and perfect for summer outings by the pool and on the lake. — Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor + Photographer

Sip While You Cook

My current summer ritual: pour a glass while I’m making dinner. Something about it makes the whole process feel less like a task and more like the evening has officially started. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Rug That Pulls It Together

We used Ernesta for every large rug in the beach house—and this brand is my absolute new rug obsession. The quality is gorgeous, and I love that each is made to your specific specs so you can really nail the right size for each room. Here’s what we landed on:

Media room: Xander Plush Wool Rug

Primary bedroom: Cormac in Oatmeal

Phoebe’s room: Sugar in Ivory

Henry’s room: Maycomb in Linen

Great room: Calico in Latte

— Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Spa-at-Home Towel

I stocked every bathroom in our new Malibu beach house with the Turkish Ultra Plush Bath Towels in ‘oak’. They’re the softest I’ve ever owned, and they hang from the hooks looking genuinely spa-like. Boll & Branch has become my forever source for bath and bedding everything, the quality is forever the best.  — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Not Your Basic Yogurt

I have found one of my new favorite sweet treats, and it comes in the cutest little clay pot. This whole milk yogurt is sweet, creamy, and so delicious. As someone who can go through a couple tubs of basic 0% fat greek yogurt every week (hello, protein goals), tasting the difference for a sweet and creamy whole milk yogurt is actually wild, and an afternoon bowl of La Fermiere with some fruit and granola has become my favorite afternoon sweet treat for something wholesome AND delicious. My current favorite flavors are the vanilla bean and orange blossom honey, but they are all SO good. — Edie Horstman, Wellness Editor

The Best Part of Coming Home

I’ve been living in London since April, and I’m heading home in just a few weeks now! Very much looking forward to crawling into my own bed, and specifically curling up under bamboo sheets. These sheets from Cozy Earth are so luxurious and soft—I have two sets. Would literally cross an ocean for them! — Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor

Beauty & Wellness

Spa Night At Home

My current bedtime ritual: scrub down with this gorgeous-scented scrub, take a hot bath, then slather the Undaria Algae Body Oil head to toe while my skin is still warm. I spray my linen sheets with the Vagus Nerve Pillow Mist before I climb into bed, and genuinely feel like I’ve checked into a spa without leaving home—and the sleep I’ve been getting since starting this is on another level. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Heatless Hair Routine

My air-dry routine for summer is finally dialed in:

• After showering, I wrap in this hair towel—it absorbs moisture without the breakage that regular towels cause (which matters more than you’d think).
• Then I work the Leave-In Conditioner through damp hair, follow with the Smoothing Air Dry Cream roots to ends, loosely twist Dianna Cohen-style (her tutorial is worth watching), and clip in place with these to set the wave. Wake up to actual beach hair.
• On day two or three, this dry shampoo at the roots buys me another day between washes. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Less-Is-More Skincare

My current skin routine is three steps and nothing more: this soothing plant-powered cleanser, then Chebula Active Serum, then Phyto-Retinol Advanced Clinical Cream to increase cell turnover without disrupting the skin barrier. My skin is the clearest it’s been in years, and I genuinely believe simpler is better. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Morning Coffee Upgrade

One month into Pique’s Carrara Marine Collagen Peptides and it’s earned a permanent spot in my morning coffee. Two scoops, dissolves completely clean, and the organic vanilla-coconut flavor it adds is so good. It boosts skin radiance, joints, elasticity, and connective tissue, and my nails are already so much stronger. That beauty-plus-longevity approach is what I look for and rarely find in one product. Use my link for 15% off for life—try it and report back. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

The Two-Step Glow

My summer skincare philosophy has been: fewer steps, better results. Right now I’m obsessed with two products doing the heavy lifting. Starting with the Glow Serum, which gives me that lit-from-within look I use under my makeup or even on it’s own, and the Cleansing Balm, which melts off sunscreen and makeup like a dream at the end of a long day. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

My Summer Skin Secret

Clean beauty that actually performs is a high bar, and True Botanicals clears it every time. This summer I’ve been starting my routine with their Nourishing Cleanser — it’s plant-powered, really gentle, and leaves skin feeling clean without that tight, stripped feeling. Then I follow with the Chebula Active Serum, which has become my secret weapon for keeping my skin calm, bright, and balanced all season long. The ingredients are clean, the results are real, and my skin has never felt more like itself. — Camille Styles, Editor in Chief

Scent of the Summer

I’ve said it before, but Salt & Stone rarely misses — and their new Lily & Yuzu collection might be my favorite thing they’ve done yet. It’s made every post-beach shower feel genuinely luxurious, which is exactly the kind of small upgrade summer calls for. If you’re looking for something that smells like the season and actually makes your routine feel special, this is it. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

Bathroom Counter Favorite

Not exaggerating when I say the Suri toothbrush has made the biggest difference in my morning and evening routine of anything I’ve tried lately. It’s one of those small swaps that just makes everything feel more intentional — and the germ-destroying case means it travels perfectly too. Once you switch, you won’t go back. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

The Instant Shine Fix

Olaplex has never let me down, and their new Shine Serum Mist is no exception. A few spritzes and your hair has that soft, light-catching finish that looks effortlessly healthy — exactly what I want when the humidity is trying its best to ruin everything. It earns its spot on the bathroom shelf immediately. — Anna Decker, Social Media & E-Commerce Manager

My No-Crunch Curl Routine

This summer, my beauty philosophy is simple: do the most so I can do less. Think high-maintenance upkeep that makes everyday beauty feel effortless. While I could easily share a long list of products that fit the bill, every great summer look starts with beachy, healthy hair. I have naturally wavy hair, but many styling products tend to weigh it down and leave it looking flat. That’s why I’ve been reaching for the ROZ Hair Milk and Styling Oil. This duo is truly all I need for soft, hydrated waves that still look and feel natural. Right out of the shower, I work the Hair Milk through my hair as a detangler before brushing. Then I warm a few drops of the Styling Oil between my hands and scrunch it into my waves. Once my hair is dry, I’ll add a little more oil to the ends for extra shine and frizz control. The result is effortless, beach-ready texture without any crunch or heaviness. Pro tip: the Styling Oil doubles as a heat protectant, so it’s great even if you are going to blow dry.  — Bridget Chambers, Fashion Editor

Simple-Ingredient Protein Powder

This is my very favorite protein powder ever. This plant protein powder is made from chocho beans and as someone who has tried a lot of protein powders and is very sensitive to weird flavors and tastes that a lot of powders have, this is the absolute best one out there. The ingredient list is super simple, and I love using this in my smoothies, mixed into yogurt bowls, or added to different baked goods for an extra serving of protein! — Suruchi Avasthi, Food Editor + Photographer

Permanent Purse Staple

I’ve recently joined the club of constantly having hand cream in my bag at all times, so I’ve been trying out lots of different ones to find my favorites. That means a lotion that is creamy and soft in texture, and also has a great scent. This one from Grown Alchemist has a permanent spot in my work bag now for it’s hydrating texture and subtle scent. — Edie Horstman, Wellness Editor

Summer in a Bottle

I love a signature scent—and I knew I needed one to encapsulate my time spent in a new-to-me city. Where else would I go in London other than Jo Malone? Poppy and Barley is bright, floral and perfect for summer. Not to mention the 30mL is perfect for travel. I love it so much and get compliments all the time! — Kristen Garaffo, Design Editor
