Back-to-school and the passage of Labor Day usually mean summer is winding down. But that doesn’t mean our wardrobe has to give in to the shift in season just yet. Below, we’ve got 8 pieces of clothing that will help you savor the final days of summer. We’re talking pineapples, anchors and beach prints—obviously.
1. We heart mermaids
Mermaids are everything, and though we can’t be sure, we think they probably hibernate in the winter. Thus, we’ll be sporting this The Laundry Room tank ($62) in the hopes of getting them to stick around as long as possible.
2. Flowers in her hair
There’s no way boring ‘ole fall leaves would look as cute in your hair as these daisy hair ties from Nasty Gal ($12.60) do!
3. Es-ca-pay
Are we the only ones who’ve been saving up for this Forestbound tote from Urban Outfitters ($100), like, all summer? Imagine the adventures you could take with such an inspiring bag at your side—even if you’re just going home for the weekend.
4. Beach, please
From afar, this Aerie wide leg jumpsuit ($39.99) looks pretty simple. It’s the subtle beach print that’s got us daydreaming.
5. Camp frock
S’mores, bonfires, more s’mores. Have we given you enough reasons why we’d rather be camping than stuck in a stuffy classroom? If not, this Wildfox Couture tee ($57.40) should do the trick.
6. Set sail
Our summer wardrobes could subsist on nautical pieces alone. These LC Lauren Conrad anchor stud earrings from Kohl’s ($8.40) add a little hint of that whimsy to any outfit.
7. Country club chic
Pineapples and rompers—it’s the perfect summer mix. If you’re looking for a major deal, snag this Maison Jules coral get-up from Macy’s ($23.99) while you still can.
8. A timeless reminder
It doesn’t necessarily have to be summer for you to head out on an amazing vacay. And this Ily Couture sweatshirt ($62) is definitely a travel essential.
