Intrigued? Wonderful. Keep scrolling to check out the fresh summer items that enhanced Wright's closet. There's also a range of outfit ideas and shopping recommendations below.
1. Statement Summer Tops
On Wright: Frame top; Levi's jeans
"This breezy summer top is a must-have for date nights and is also super cute with denim shorts for daytime. I'm loving light summer tops with special little details like these ruffled straps. So pretty."
2. Black Blazers
On Wright: Veronica Beard blazer; Mother jeans
"I refreshed my black blazer with this new one by Veronica Beard (it’s already a best seller), and it has completely transformed my wardrobe! I can wear it with pretty much anything, and it elevates the entire outfit. Plus, the hidden zipper and endless dickey options make it versatile, and just cool."
3. Square-Toe Sandals
On Wright: Frame top; Balenciaga bag; Sam Edelman shoes
"A square-toe sandal is a great start toward a shoe refresh, and this year, there are so many options to love! It's a small detail, but it gives major designer vibes to every outfit."
4. Pink Separates
On Wright: Zara blazer; L'Agence cami
"I've been reading about the color pink for a long time, so I finally decided it was time to add a piece and transform my mostly neutral wardrobe to one with a pop of color. When I spotted this blazer at Zara, I knew it was perfect—slightly oversize and super easy to wear."
5. Sleek Swimsuits
On Wright: J.Crew swimsuit and hat
"This year, I've added a few one-piece swimsuits to my summer collection, and suddenly, I feel way more glamorous than I do in a bikini. Plus, a one-piece can transform into a bodysuit when worn with your favorite denim—so stylish."
6. Slip Dresses
On Wright: Vince dress; Marc Fisher sandals
"We all love a good slip dress, and this is one of my favorite purchases of the year so far! Since it's cut on the bias, it's very flattering. A slip dress also looks amazing with a denim jacket or a blazer. It's pretty much the perfect dress."
7. White Denim
On Wright: Fidelity jeans; Frame blouse
"I switched up my white denim and added a wide-leg style for an updated, modern fit. This trending silhouette works for all occasions and pairs particularly well with a fitted top."
