There’s something just about summer… maybe it’s the longer days that stretch into slow evenings, or the way the ocean makes even your bad hair days seem intentional. Whatever it is, summer deserves its own wardrobe in an effort to capture that unnamable, magical feeling. A collection of pieces that whisper, “Book the flight,” “Order the gelato,” or “Say yes to the sunset picnic.”

If you’re craving that effortless, sunshine-drenched vibe, I’ve got you covered. I did a summer try-on with Show Me Your Mumu, and I may or may not be writing this while mentally planning trips for every outfit!

If clothes could tell stories, the new drops from Show Me Your Mumu would be printing out entire postcards. The Postcards from Italia Print? A love letter to vineyard strolls, Prosecco in hand, with a full “Under the Tuscan Sun” mood. Then there’s the Seaside Print, which basically tells your closet, “We’re 100% going for that Amalfi Coast getaway, or at least dressing like we already have.” And need I say more about the OOO Print? It’s in-the-moment relaxation turned fashion. You’re out of office, cocktails in hand, chasing sunsets, and the world knows it.

You know that moment when you’re packing, and you’re staring at your suitcase thinking, “What if I need eleven outfits for a three-day weekend?” I’ve learned that a few perfect staples are the cure for this wardrobe existential crisis. Mumu’s collection does a fabulous job of balancing the playful with the practical. Think flowy dresses that can go from brunch to boat party in a blink. Breezy sets that make even midday iced coffee runs feel photo-worthy.

Here’s the thing about summer style—it’s not just about cute. It has to be wearable in 85 degrees, while dancing barefoot at beach weddings, or wandering farmers’ markets in search of the perfect bunch of sunflowers. The pieces I tried were light, breathable, and adjustable in the way you want your relationship with life to be. Bonus points for stretchy waistbands, because yes, I will be having another scoop of sorbet.

No summer wardrobe is complete without accessories. Pair these prints with woven handbags, wide-brim hats, and the kind of jewelry that feels like summer. And don’t forget a great pair of sandals or slides that can work just as beautifully on cobblestone streets as they do by the pool.

Ultimately, your summer wardrobe isn’t just about the clothes; it’s about how they make you feel. The confidence of slipping into something that feels like it was made just for this exact moment in your life. Whether you’re biking through coastal towns, sipping rosé by the sea, or simply sitting on the porch with your besties, know this: the way you show up for summer is entirely your own work of art.

All that’s left to do? Find the perfect playlist, chase glowing sunsets, and promise yourself at least one spontaneous road trip. Summer’s calling… and you’re going to look absolutely perfect answering it.

This swimsuit, I cannot even. I don’t know that I will find a swimsuit this season that will top this one. The zipper detailing and the print, it’s just too good. I will be wearing this on repeat all summer.

Honestly, when do I not need a pink dress? But this one? Totally what summer outfit dreams are made up. I mean, do we even need to talk about the subtle palm print? Because I’m obsessed—would be so perfect for a summer wedding!

Boat days are all about layers and this is exactly what I need to feel casual but elevated at the same time. I LOVE this colorful but minimal print. Planning a boat day for this weekend just to wear this outfit.

I have been all about some pleats lately and this pleated skirt is to die for. It’s the perfect mix of sporty and chic, and honestly, I’m obsessed. If I were headed to play pickleball, you better believe this is what I’d be rocking, but spoiler alert—I’m not. Instead, if you catch me wandering the aisles at Target (because we all know it’s a vibe), you’ll see me strutting in this skirt. Stylish, comfy, and Target-run approved—what’s not to love?

Never skip the accessories at Lilly Pulitzer, especially in the summer. Trust me, their pieces are an absolute must. The prices are super reasonable, and everything is just so effortlessly stylish. Whether it’s a statement necklace, a playful pair of earrings, or a bright, cheery bag, their accessories have this magical way of tying any outfit together. The best part? They pair perfectly with everything. It’s like they were made to match your summer wardrobe dreams!

I have recently become obsessed with maxi dresses, and this one has me wanting to book a vacation ASAP! It’s giving major vacation vibes, and I can already picture myself strolling along a sandy beach, piña colada in hand. Pair it with a wide-brimmed hat and some comfy sandals, and you’ve got the ultimate vacation-ready outfit. Somebody grab the passports, because I’m ready to jet off!
