Pictured: J.Crew Callie Sandals ($110)
We're past the Fourth of July mark, which means that summer is in full swing, and it won't be over anytime soon. There are still many weeks of hot weather left, and it will only get hotter from here. When the heat index is hovering around 100° (basically every day in the South where I live), the only things I can stand wearing are dresses, sandals, and shorts. Luckily, there's an abundance of these three things on the internet right now.
Prompted by the current heat waves sweeping the country, I put together a handy list of my favorite items in each of these three categories of staples. I don't know about you, but I've already worn all of my favorite summer items multiple times, and it isn't even mid-July yet. Now, I'm eager to add a few new pieces to my warm-weather wardrobe. Keep scrolling to join me in shopping my 30 favorite dresses, sandals, and shorts on the internet right now. The next challenge will be to narrow them down to what I'm actually buying. At this point, I want it all.
Dresses
It wouldn't be summer without Reformation dresses.
It's time to get on board with bubble hems.
Never have I wanted a slip dress more.
It's hard to think of many occasions this dress wouldn't be perfect for (aside from someone else's wedding).
I already own this, and the material is so pretty in person.
I added this to my cart immediately.
There are so many cool ways to style this.
So simple yet perfect.
So good—no notes.
It had me at hello.
Sandals
Get them before they're sold out.
Why yes, these are the cute sandals pictured above.
These will instantly elevate denim shorts.
These are as elegant as flip-flops get.
Adding these to my very long Toteme wish list.
No words.
They come in red too...
Trust me—these won't be in stock for much longer.
I'm obsessed with the new color my favorite summer Birkenstocks come in.
These have all the makings of It shoes.
Shorts
Comfy enough to lounge in, cute enough to wear outside.
Long shorts are everywhere right now.
In case you were wondering what the current It shorts are…
Madewell is wisely getting in on the boxer-shorts trend.
They call them running shorts. I call them cute-outfit shorts.
White denim shorts are the ultimate summer staple.
Once I own these, I know I'll wear them constantly.
For wearing with all of your tees and tanks.
Everyone will want to know where you got these.
J.Crew-branded beach shorts are something I didn't know I needed.
