The Highly Anticipated Gap × Dôen Collab Just Dropped, and the Styles Are So on Trend for Summer

As you may have heard, eyelet is huge this spring. "It’s even taking on new, sexy shapes, like Tracee Ellis Ross’ turtleneck bodysuit with allover grommet eyelet," PureWow Senior Director of Special Projects and Royals Rachel Bowie explained in this story. And this one-and-done dress with a cottagecore tilt is the perfect way to incorporate the trend into your wardrobe. It's super easy to pull off, thanks to the square neckline, cinched waist, and button front, though the ruffled tiers certainly add something special. The comfy cotton maxi even has pockets, so it's not just trendy, it's functional, too.

Everyone is wearing stripes right now, but this linen-blend cardigan takes on the print with a super elevated, vintage touch. The light layer is definitely going to come in handy this summer thanks to its airy pointelle knit and slightly cropped fit, which will work well with everything from pleated trousers (like the ones below) to flowy dresses (like the one above).

Hoping to add some pleated trousers to your summer capsule wardrobe? Good news: This high-rise and wide-leg option checks all the boxes. Between their soft cotton-blend fabric, front slant pockets and four-button fly, they have all the qualities to become your new warm-weather go-tos. They also come in two colors—true black and off-white—so take your pick (though it wouldn't be a bad idea to get them both while they're still in stock—you'll thank me later). 

Gingham will always be a popular pick for summer, but this year it appears to really be revving up. That said, I would run to buy this flowy frock if I were you. The navy blue gingham is as classic and versatile as can be, so I can totally see this dress being styled for different occasions (park days and picnics a given). Not to mention, the short puff sleeves make it fabulously feminine, while the empire waist accentuates your shape instead of hiding it. As if it can't get any more exciting, it's made of light and breathable linen, aka the quintessential fabric of summer.

Ready, set, frolic. I mean, I can't think of a better activity to do in this dreamy number, dotted with a petite blue-and-white floral print that would feel right at home in the wildflowers. Of course, it would also feel right at home out at a cute brunch with your besties, so you do you. Either way, you're sure to swoon over the comfortable-but-flattering elasticized waist, ruffled straps and soft cotton construction. I know I am.
