1. Alaia Short Beach Dress ($142): Could’ve fooled us! Business in the front, fringe party in the back. This coral slip-on dress calls for a backyard tiki hut shindig. Or, better yet, wear it as a bikini cover-up for a spontaneous jaunt to the park.

2. Poppy Flamingo Fling Bikini ($89): Just because you’re not vacationing in the Hamptons doesn’t mean that you can’t don the most coveted bikini of the season. Triangl, we’re looking at you and your oh-so-colorful sets.

3. Geo Brushstroke Short ($70): Could we, or couldn’t we, get away with showing up to work in these painterly brushstroke shorts? We’re voting for the former by dressing them up with a classic white button-down and nude flats.

4. Paul Andrew for J.Crew Fringe Flats ($398): The redeeming factor of putting in all those extra hours at work? More money for your “fashion emergency” fund. While these vibrant blue-fringed sandals don’t come cheap, they’re definitely worth the splurge.

9. Crochet-Trimmed Maxi Dress ($33): Wear this easy-breezy, summery maxi and you’ll transform into a beach goddess for the day. This sheer, ivory option would be perfect for any summer soiree or candlelit dinner. Gold gladiators sandals are non-negotiable.
