If you can believe it, we still have an entire month before summer officially begins. However, if you ask me, the season starts as soon as the sun begins to shine and not a second later. I refuse to accept that we should wait until the summer solstice to begin celebrating, so I'm throwing caution to the wind and declaring today the start of my summer season.
Preparing my wardrobe is half the fun of entering a new season, so you can bet I'm officially on the lookout for fresh summer buys. Today I decided to focus my efforts on two of our readers' favorite brands: Reformation and Free People. Both retailers offer a mix of trendy, classic, and luxe pieces, so you really can't go wrong with their entire selections. But if you want some help narrowing it down, you've come to the right place. Keep scrolling to shop my picks.
