As we sneak up on summer, things are looking a little lighter, brighter, and more playful. And those are the factors that inform May’s VIPs.

Keep scrolling to learn all about them, including how Rachel suggests incorporating them into your life ASAP.

White Everything

“White always feels so fresh (and practical) for summer but it’s been having an even more major moment since the Spring/Summer 2024 runways. To me an all-white look is the epitome of chic: White linen pants and vest, white sandals, white bag. The whole thing. But introducing white as one of your go-to summer accessories—like a bag—is a great place to start.”

High Waisted Trousers

“If you’re not a fan of shorts in the summer, a lightweight pair of high waisted pants in a light color is a great alternative on days you don’t want to wear dresses or skirts. I love the way they give the illusion of longer legs and the rise can be flattering on so many different body types.”

Celestial Motifs

“One look at my jewelry collection and it’s obvious that I’m a big fan of this trend year-round. But the bohemian feel of moon, star, and sun shapes always seems even more appropriate in the summer. Accessorizing with this motif add a little whimsy to a sundress or even your swimwear and sarong!”

Embroidered Details

“In summer, looks tend to be a little simpler due to the temperature and need for ease. But adding in pieces with embroidered details, like these beaded heeled sandals, adds interest and sort of a vacation vibe. These are a great way to dress up something casual like cute cut-offs and a tank or even a slinky slip dress.”
