Shop our 12 summer essentials for 2025 below.
Stone Island Shirt Jacket
Layering is not just for colder days. Granted, you won't technically need to do it as much or as often in summer, but it is far more interesting than just a tee and shorts. A lightweight jacket adds action without discomfort.
Jil Sander Zip Shirt
Same here, with Jil Sander's zip-up overshirt. Great for when it's a bit chilly after sunset, or to tighten a look that's otherwise more simplistic.
A.P.C. x JJJJound Tee
None of the above is to say that a good ol' white tee can't do the trick. This fun collab by A.P.C. in JJJJound lends extra spice to the most classic of summer staples.
Palm Angels Graphic T
Feel free to go the opposite route, and opt for a black tee with bold colorful graphics instead.
Levi's x END. 568s
A masterclass in rich indigo denim, Levi's and END.'s collaboration on the former's bulky 568 model.
Edwin Tyrell Jeans
For a more faded, worn-in charm, how about these Edwin Tyrells?
Service Works Pant
There's barely a pant as tasteful for a hot summer day though as a cream hued chino with pleats. It's also easy to dress up or down.
HOKA One One Clifton Ls
HOKA makes some of the best running shoes out there. They're utilitarian with their performance-prioritizing, functionality-focused qualities, and yet their designs often disguise them as aesthetics-first sneakers.
New Balance U991DL2 Sneaker Made in UK
But speaking of sneakers. Is any season's footwear rotation even complete without some suede-clad New Balance dad kicks?
Dries Van Noten Leather Derby Shoes
For the fancier amongst you, Dries Van Noten's Derbys are as dutiful in summer as any other time of year.
Mazi Untitled Cross Body
A voluminous crossbody is something of a non-negotiable for warm weather. It's easy and practical to carry, and it holds everything you'd otherwise be stowing in jacket pockets.
Isabel Marant Logo Cap
As if from the grounds up, we're ending this list with the cap to top it all off, and this one by Isabel Marant's been making the rounds lately. Perhaps for its bright, light-reflecting color? It'll keep your head somewhat cool, your eyes shielded, that's for sure.
