Want to know what a pro would scoop up for her own wardrobe? Real Simple’s senior fashion editor shares her favorite finds.
1
Dashed Scarf
This scarf’s neutral hues get a serious boost from a bold graphic pattern. Tassels show a stylish attention to detail.
To buy: $49.50, anntaylor.com.
2
Panama Hat
Move over floppy-brimmed sunhats. If there’s such a thing as an “It” hat, right now it’s the classic Panama style. The boyish, laidback vibe has a chic appeal just right for summer.
To buy: $49.50; anntaylor.com.
3
Gingham High Waist Shorts
High-waisted with a flat front, these gingham shorts feel a little retro, a little modern.
To buy: $59, anntaylor.com.
4
Veka Suede Espadrille Sandals
Add a pop of (super saturated) color in the most manageable way possible—strappy, flat sandals. You’ll be surprised how well bright orange works with neutral color palettes.
To buy: $118, anntaylor.com.
5
Striped Tie Waist Dress
Make this your “throw-it-on-and-go” piece. Menswear-inspired stripes help an easy, comfortable dress look polished.
To buy: $139, anntaylor.com.
6
Abstract Floral Chandelier Earrings
Give your statement necklace the evening off—these sparkling stunners are all you need to accessorize your little black dress (or your boyfriend jeans, for that matter).
To buy: $49.50, anntaylor.com.
