A stylist shares the trends of summer 2025 in New York to shop

My list of summer stores is surprisingly organized – which is really commendable given the professional risk of being a stylist and a writer who has the impression of having seen the whole fashion on the internet. One of the advantages of the work is that I have developed a lively eye for the recognition of the pieces I wear that I will wear to death, and an even more lively eye for more affordable items that are really worth it before they sell.

It is perhaps only May, but I already call a handful of items that are guaranteed to continue to appear on Chic New Yorkers this summer. In excellent news for all those who have a more classic style, this season seems to be a question of reproduction of highly portable basic products, ready to be kept elegantly minimal or decorated with fun and summer accessories which have the impression of being bought at the vacation pulse. From my new favorite ankle (it’s the ankle season!) And the j.crew chic and scandalously comfortable pants that I buy in several colors, here are every article of $ 200 on my list of summer races.

Banana Republic Mixed-Media Bubble-Hem Maximum Dress

Each summer, I have peeled eyes for what will become my essential dress. Usually black, it will be necessary to save me endless opportunities when I don’t know what to wear. He will associate himself effortlessly with flat strips, elegant kitten heels and easy sneakers. He will ideally have pockets, because not all dresses should all the dresses? It will be not be dry only. It will seem simple enough for it to be rehearsed, but bring a little moment of drama – a bubble hem, perhaps? – to make it feel intentional. This Banana Republic style, my friends, is this dress for this summer. (And for non-sponsors among us, it is also in white.)

Longchamp the folding Knit Sweger Bag

If you want encouragement to upgrade your daily canvas tote, this is your sign. The bags The beloved folding of Longchamp are one of the most practical purchases in the fashion world, and the knitting style of the French brand is synonymous with summer. The leather handle means that it seems much higher than your average tote, so do not let it be limited to walking on the producers’ market. Use your favorite zip pocket to rotate your small essential elements (lip balm, keys, etc.), and treat it like the everyday bag that will inject your city outfits with fresh summer energy.

J.crew stratus pant in textured satin

You know that a style is good when it is suddenly available with eight different colors. These pants J.Crew cooled but polished arrived at the end of last year, when each editor I know built on the tidy and relaxed adjustment which has perfectly associated with all kinds of autumn knitting. Now that it is summer, this light satin style in text is required to be designed with everything, white racerback tanks and ribbed baby t-shirts; to elegant, fluid and inspired peaks of Chloé; Dammery buttones and oversized vintage t-shirts. They are so good that they continued to be replenished, but for how long? They are currently on sale, so I would enter it while the GET is good.

Jeffrey Campbell Jamie Jelly Flats

My MO style has been in recent times to invest in classic clothes, then go to town with discreet fashion accessories. If you are also tilted in this way, can I present these little poppy shoes to you – here to tell the world that, despite your impeccably personalized pants, you do not take too seriously. Whether you love or hate a jelly dish, touches of red under the ankles remain a call index of fashion people in 2025. I am personally here for this slightly further style of glove and a chic matte update of these clear frosts of past seasons.
