21 Must-Haves InStyle Editors Bought (and Swear by) This July

"I saw these in a Zara in London and was heartbroken because they didn’t have my size. When I got home, I stopped in the Zara near my apartment and immediately walked to the checkout counter. They’re comfy and dress up every simple dress in my closet." —Victoria Moorehouse, Digital Beauty Editor

"New York may currently feel like a sauna, but I'm already thinking about fall. I've slowly started updating my closet with cooler-weather pieces, and this top was a no-brainer." —Erin Lukas, Beauty Writer

"These faux fur slides are just the right amount of extra." —Claire Stern, Associate Editor

"I personally love a beret and any excuse to wear leather. If I could get away with wearing leather head-to-toe, even in the middle of summer, without the chance of overheating and dropping dead—I would! So for now, this will fill my void." —Elana Zajdman, Accesories Editor

"My ultimate beach-to-street bag this summer, with some added fun pompoms." —Alexis Parente, Assistant Fashion Editor

"I recently purchased this beautiful Sanctuary Coco dress and am currently obsessing. It’s the perfect balance of casual and classy. It’s light, flowy and the split on the side provides just the right amount of flirty. Summer is sadly almost over but don’t fear, this dress is the perfect piece to seamlessly transition you from Summer to Fall." —Marina Budarina-Sanchez, Deputy Chief of Reporters

"Everyone and their mother has these sunglasses (or at least wants them). And rightly so! Ever since Gigi stepped out in them, looking like a true retro Barbie IRL, I haven’t stopped thinking about them. Even now that I own them, I wish I had them. Even when I’m wearing them, I still yearn for them. Even when I’m looking at myself in the mirror, I wish I was someone else just so I could stare at myself in them. I. Love. Them. That. Much." —Kim Duong, Digital Fashion Assistant Editor

"I’ve been eyeing this up for a few weeks now. It’s airy and pretty, but it can be dressed up with big earrings and simple pumps. I like to wear it with big gold hoop earrings and a coral lipstick."—Victoria Moorehouse, Digital Beauty Editor

"I'm enjoying the summer, but I miss wearing cool boots. So I couldn't wait to buy this stretchy design. I can wear them now with denim shorts. And I'll be good to go once fall arrives." —Alexis Bennett, E-Commerce Editor

"I turned 30 this month, so I decided to seriously up my skincare routine. Dr. Dennis Gross' Por Facial Steamer seemed like a must-have." —Ruthie Friedlander, Site Director

"I'm not always down for wearing matte lipsticks on super hot and sweaty summer days, and this balm is the perfect alternative. It's super hydrating and not only does the cherry scent bring me back to my cherry chapstick days, but it's also the only Balm Dotcom that has a subtle tint of color to it." —Rachel Crocetti, Digital Producer

"I like its modern design, mix of silver, gold, freshwater pearl and diamond chip. All that—and but it's still simple and lightweight. Great for day and night." —Jacklyn Monk, Executive Editor

"Espadrille wedges are my go-to shoes in the summer. Castaner is my favorite brand—great for both work and weekend." —Kristina Rutkowski, Market Editor

"I picked up a pair of Vince suede loafers in the Nordstrom sale and they honestly feel like wearing slippers on the streets. Super comfortable and super cute? Win-win." —Olivia Bahou, Assistant Digital Editor

"These are the perfect day-to-night vacation shorts! The light airy fabric will keep you cool in the summer heat and the drawstring waist will allow to enjoy all of the delicious vacation food you can get your hands on." —Kelly Chiello, Associate Photo Editor

"Because you can never have too many girl-powered tees that donate proceeds to Planned Parenthood! I love wearing this with my denim cut-off shorts, but occasionally during the week, I'll pair it with a black pencil skirt and wear it to work." —Marianne Mychaskiw, Associate Beauty Editor

"Anyone who knows me knows how obsessed I am with Diptyque candles. I have heaps of old jars lying around my apartment (they make great succulent planters!), so when I saw this set on the Nordstrom Anniversary sale, I bought two before they sold out. It features 5 mini candles in different scents, including my favorite—Baies—and I'm thinking about buying a couple more now that they are back in stock." —Tessa, Trudeau, Editorial Assistant

"One of the best things about being an adult is buying whatever shoes you want. Gone are the days where my mom would force me to buy practical, sturdy shoes guaranteed to last me the whole school year in 'goes with everything' boring colors. Now that no one's the boss of me, I can buy any shoes I want—including these insane, disco-fabulous ankle boots from SJP (fun fact: the colorway is called "Scintillate", and that's exacty what I plan on doing)." —Katie Donbavand, Associate Producer

"In July, I planned to be on the beach every weekend. I wanted to be sure that I had a cute suit that would be both comfortable, fashionable, and sexy. This is the ONE! I loved the cutouts and beautiful peach hue. It's definitely a suit that fulfills multiple needs." —LaShauna Williams, Assistant Market Editor

"As I prepare for the horrid August summer days in Manhattan (anyone who lives in the city can attest that this is the hottest month of the year), I still have to remain as profiessional as possible while trying not to die from heat exhaustion. COS has created the perfect leather sandal for under $100, and what's great is it easily can transition as a commuting or Out-of-Office sandal." —Aaron Valentic, International Assistant

""I stepped inside Calvin Klein's newly renovated Madison Avenue store and I told myself, self, nothing comes between you and this backpack. It's minimal, perfect for work, and Raf Simons's new logo is stitched onto the front. I also bought a pair of underwear because who doesn't want '205 W 39 NYC' emblazoned above their nether region?' —Jonathan Borge, Assistant Editor
