Wear it with slide sandals or flip-flops on the hottest of days, or skate sneakers and tall socks when it drops below 90. Despite being such a warm-weather staple, you could wear this in the fall with leggings, booties, and a denim jacket, too.

Sleek, ‘90s-inspired shoulder bags are absolutely everywhere this season; and if you know where to look, you can easily get one for under $35.

The street-style set adopted the bucket hat a few years back, but the trend is still going strong — and, obviously, it serves a functional purpose beyond the aesthetic. This one comes in so many on-trend prints, from watercolor (this season’s take on tie-dye) to a daisy print you’d likely find in a dELiA*s catalogue circa 1999. They’re all reversible, with a solid color on the other side, so you can switch up your look with ease. However you wear it, it’s a fun alternative to a baseball cap or a straw hat on sunny days.

The high-waisted bottoms and lace-up detailing on this bikini nod to swimwear of eras past, but the athletic-inspired, criss-cross back feels quite modern. A wireless built-in bra with light padding offers support, without the discomfort of an underwire. You can’t go wrong with the chic black style pictured here, but if you like to play with color and pattern at the pool, opt for something like leopard print or lipstick red. Keep in mind that this page features another high-waisted style as well, that one with a flowy, cropped tank-style top — equally cute.
