Here Are the 13 Best Items to Shop from Ann Taylor’s Summer Collection

A sleeveless dress shirt is the new cornerstone to a grown woman’s summer wardrobe. This one is a great choice with its slim-fit, sleek, silky finish and polyester design, meaning it’s machine washable (phew). Layer it underneath a blazer or jacket come fall, giving you plenty of styling options to play around with. “A comfy, fashionable top for summer,” exclaims one shopper in their review. “It’s a great look for any occasion.” Say no more, it’s already in my cart.

Nothing says summer like a white jumpsuit, and this statement-making piece features a structured halter neck with a relaxed fit throughout. Stamped with noteworthy details such as a pleated design on the pants and a flowy, wide-leg construction, there’s a buckled belt in the center that cinches the waist for a slimming effect, and two besom pockets in the back you can take advantage of for smaller storage. Plus, it’s available in both regular and petite sizing.

A frock that works for both summer and fall, this sweater dress can effortlessly transition from the office to an evening dinner, which is exactly why you need to add it as a staple to your wardrobe. The blend of polyester and nylon keeps you cool and comfortable, and the ruffles on the hem add an elegant touch that makes it suitable for a variety of occasions. Did I mention it comes in two colors?

Straight from the brand’s Weekend Collection, these espadrilles are perfect for a vacation to the Amalfi Coast or…a trip to the grocery store, depending on how they’re styled, of course. Easy to dress up or down, the cotton material is breathable, and the outsole is durable, giving you plenty of comfort for a day of walking. While I’m partial to the beige colorway, there’s also a night sky navy blue color to choose from.

You won’t be able to get enough of this floral satin skirt, especially as we transition to fall. The styling options are endless with this one, as it’s crafted to be naturally fitted at the waist, while still offering a flowy design that is easy, breezy and oh-so-comfortable to walk around and sit in. Throw in the fact that you can choose from regular and petite sizing as well, and I’d venture to say you’ll have the perfect skirt in your closet if you make the splurge.

Another easy-wearing piece as we move from summer to fall, this collared camp shirt is a no-brainer with its modern and relaxed fit that sits directly at the hip, or as one shopper writes, “Bought this a few weeks ago. Nice generous fit (camp shirt after all), beautifully styled and comfortable feel. My new go-to. The size is accurate.” Another five-star reviewer adds, “A classic style shirt in a soft, comfortable fabric. It feels and looks like silk, but it’s synthetic and washable. I like that it’s lined, so it is not see-through.”

I found it. The perfect late summer/early fall wedding guest dress. With fun florals, a ruffle hem and twisted detailing as part of its standout features, the ruffle hem and twisted design in the center are just a few of the key callouts of this beauty, which has a knee-length cut that makes it appropriate for wedding guest dress codes. While the piece is sleeveless, it is fully lined, keeping everything protected, and the rich mixture of colors makes it a versatile choice that works for any season.

I’m swooning over these multicolored high-rise shorts, which are accompanied by two slash pockets and two besom pockets in back. Right in line with the vintage-style trends, they’re made to have a relaxed, roomy fit, and are crafted with a breathable blend of polyester, cotton and rayon to give you plenty of breathability. These also come in classic and petite styling, and there is a range of shoe choices that work, as you can dress them up with heels or wedges or go down the casual route with flats and sneakers.

Speaking of elegant pieces that are a must for the cooler months ahead, this jacket also comes in classic and petite sizing, giving it a tailored vibe that is oh-so-elegant. Defined by its structured lines, additional features include button-front closures, front besom pockets *and* a point collar. My one beef? It only comes in one color.

Never underestimate the subtle power of a crewneck. First things first, it’s super soft, as it’s made of a modern knit and woven mixture of polyester. Next, the lightweight material is great for layering under sweaters and jackets in the cooler months, and knowing the quality of Ann Taylor, this is a piece that will last you for years to come. One shopper raves, “I love this tee! It is lightweight, comfortable and stylish for work, casual and evenings out.” With plenty of sizes and colors to choose from, this top is a no-brainer.

Wedges are *so* back, which means these elevated sandals are right on time for our Y2K nostalgia. You’ll be able to walk around all night without feeling like your feet are falling off, as they are comfy enough for all-day wear but can still be dressed up for nighttime. “The cutest wedges! I love the neutral color with a bit of gold thread. They fit true-to-size and go with everything!” exclaims one shopper.

From formal events to casual occasions, this chic clutch is roomy enough to hold your essentials while providing an extra pop to your outfit. The bag comes with a drawstring closure that secures all of your belongings tightly, and the luxe finish looks *so* much more expensive than its under $90 price tag. “So chic, wonderful to carry for that special evening out or even in daytime,” notes one buyer in their review, who adds, “It's roomy enough to carry your essentials, including your phone, and fits in your hand like a glove.”

These retro-style baggy boyfriend jeans are the perfect opportunity to show off your latest pair of ballet flats. Crafted with cotton, lyocell and a hint of spandex for just the right amount of stretch room, they’re designed with a streamlined fit that includes a front zipper with a button closure, belt loops and classic five-pocket styling. Best of all, these babies come in two options: classic and petite, ensuring they fit beautifully.
