The Cropped Jacket

A cropped jacket is the perfect summer layering piece, and we love Self Portrait’s sequinned spin on this staple. Pair with this silky maxi skirt and Maje’s pointed pumps for a polished look.

The Dress

Complete with shirred cuffs and a flattering gathered waist, ME+EM has nailed the classic summer floral dress. Topped with a wide-brimmed raffia hat, this floor-sweeping dress will see you through your summer calendar in style.
