“Every summer wardrobe needs a solid pair of white pants, and these are officially my go-tos. The pleats give them a polished feel, and the lightweight fabric will keep you from overheating on your midsummer subway commute. I kept the styling simple with a Calvin Klein denim jacket, but the options are endless: a pretty blouse, a linen blazer, a sweater draped over your shoulders. You name it.” — Anneliese Henderson, senior type editor

“With all the events I have this summer, I was in desperate need of a pretty dress. Enter this mint-green midi from Calvin Klein. Before even looking in the mirror, I knew this was going to look good. It has a cinched (but not too cinched) waist that accentuates my figure, it’s made from lightweight material that will keep me cool, and it’s the perfect length—easily dressed up for a wedding or dressed down for a day at the office. I opted for heels, but you could also wear flats!” — Henderson

“This crochet polo stole my heart. While I’m wearing it with jean shorts (a summer staple, especially a Calvin Klein pair), I’d also throw it over a bikini top if I were on a tropical vacation. It’s breezy and cool, and it won’t take up too much room in your suitcase.” — Henderson

“This dress feels so perfectly ’90s. It’s like I could’ve scored it at a vintage shop in Williamsburg. The scoop neck adds a sweet touch, but the denim keeps the dress effortlessly cool. This dress would also look great with tall boots for a little contrast against the mini hemline, too.” — Henderson
