No other color captures such a crisp and pristine feeling like white does, which is why we’re understandably smitten with white denim this summer.White denim is no longer limited to spring through Labor Day wear. It has definitely earned its place as a quintessential summertime must-have.

Paired with everything from stripes to floral to brights, white denim jeans and shorts have the uncanny ability to really freshen up a drab summer ensemble.

Here are just some of our current faves, fresh for the pickin’:

7 For All Mankind Bell Bottom in Clean White: Infinitely sleeker and more modern than your old bell bottom jeans, this pair looks oh-so chic when paired with light blazers or airy blouses.

True Religion Petite Becky Boot in Optic Rinse: This is a great option for shorter women, or if you’d like to pair your jeans with this season’s flat sandals.

DKNY Jeans Missy Dirty Dancing Shorts in White: Bermuda shorts are definitely back on our style radars, and this one lends such a classic feel to all your summer tops.

Joe’s Jeans 6” Cuffed Shorts in Jenny: We love cuffed shorts, especially when done in such a clean shade and silhouette.

Hudson Venice Cuffed Shorts in White: Dare to bare in these short shorts. The fabulous shade of white really pops against a summer tan!

Is there anything quite as enjoyable as a well-deserved vacation at your favorite seaside destination? We’re hard pressed to think of anything more relaxing ourselves! Whether it’s basking in the summer sun on your private cabana or setting out to sea with your pals, a laid-back summer vacation deserves an equally stress-banishing ensemble.

The two stylists' picks above are a great compilation of tropical floral prints and super-comfy basics to make that getaway or weekend break even more pleasurable.

Cheers to summer!

Read between the lines. Stripes are a summer essential you won't want to be without.

Few prints are as translatable across different styles than classic stripes. Whether you’re into classic or trendy style, stripes have the uncanny ability to fit in seamlessly into your wardrobe.

We’re particularly obsessed with  stripes for summertime, thanks in part to its nod to nautical style, which we covered in last week’s men’s Stylists’ Picks. 

The look on the left is a cool, downtown approach to stripes, while the one on the right is a more classic, country club-inspired rendition of the beloved print. Either way, stripes always add a fresh and summery vibe.

Once reserved for undergarments and clothing trim, lace and eyelet have really branched out into full-on style statements, particularly for warm weather months. When it comes to fabrics, it doesn’t get any more feminine these delicate and pretty fabrications.

Whether you’re going for a romantic boho or a sweet and girly look, lace and eyelet are invariably alluring.

Take a gander at some of our favorite lace and eyelet pieces for this season! :

Laundry by Shelli Segal Cotton Eyelet Dress (left on photo above): This crisp and lovely dress conjures up idyllic summers in the Hamptons.

Even though we’re seeing a comeback of shorter heels and kitten heels, there’s still a special place in our hearts for the leg-slimming, leg-lengthening brilliance of sky-high platform wedges. For those of us who are on the shorter side, or those who just refuse to be seen in flats (you ladies know who you are!),  it’s  comforting to know that this season still boasts quite an impressive crop of height-amplifying platform shoes for us to lust over.

Here are a few of our must-haves for the summer:

Steve Madden Wissper: This nude-colored sling-back platform really lengthens the legs!

Via Spiga Eve: With a flair for the ‘70s, this stunning platform really makes a fresh statement. It’s definitely better than anything Marcia Brady could ever dream of!

Nine West Bottos: There’s a lot to love about the versatility of this casual wedge. Wear it with anything and everything!

Pelle Moda Jamba: The gladiator-like straps coupled with the cork and espadrille combo make this one fabulous wedge sandal!

MICHAEL Michael Kors Juniper Espadrille: The braided strap over a nice, tall espadrille wedge gives this such a boho flair.
