22 Summer Finds That Were Totally Worth the Investment

By Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour

When we think of investment fashion items, some of the things that come to mind are coats, handbags, boots, and jeans. Oddly, they don’t really scream summer, but there are tons of warm weather–ready pieces—at every price point—that are worthy of investing in and bringing back year after year. Just ask our very own editors!

Well, you don’t really have to, because I already did, and as always, they delivered. Below you’ll find the 22 summer-ready pieces my colleagues and I feel are in it for the long haul. From dresses to swimsuits to, of course, sandals at a range of price points, I’d be surprised if there weren’t something for every reader in this collection, if not several favorites. To see what made the cut, simply keep scrolling.

"What can I say? I appreciate functional footwear. While my pumps are still gathering dust in my closet, I was excited to test-drive these chic, office-appropriate flats created by my former colleague, Marina Larroudé. Since living in the aforementioned Birkenstocks for a year, I was pleasantly surprised by the comfort factor of the cloud memory foam all over these pointy-toe ballet flats. I scored these in gold for spring but will definitely be adding the caramel brown to my wardrobe for fall."
