There are certain you had me at moments women experience: Paris with no agenda, the scent of gardenias and sundresses. Not to leave out the gentleman, they love dresses too. Leave it to some of our favorite designers to step it up this year. In fact, many brands devoted most of their collections to summer dresses because they know we will renovate our closets to make room. This year’s options make browsing a challenge.

Break Out the Tambourine, We’re Loving Summer’s Gypsy Style
Take one week off of social media and you can feel as ancient as the guy who still uses a fax machine. Whether you remember the dial phone or were born after 2000, the classics appeal to all ages.

Think Talitha Getty in Morocco or the cast of Hair before the film gets a doomed remake. (Google image searches recommended). There’s great boho merch available that is beautifully made to last a decade of year round summers. It’s more LA or New York when it chills out, which is why we are loving these featured summer picks.
