“I’m all about reemerging this summer in a vibrant and bold bubblegum-pink dress. This one is guaranteed to get all the compliments.”

“Bucket hats are a summer 2021 must-have. Amp up your summer outfit and go for one with a fun print.”
“We saw relaxed lounge shorts all over the S/S 21 runways—they’re perfect for laid-back summer days. I’ll be styling this pair with a breezy button-down or blouse and cushy thong sandals.”
“Nothing will brighten your mood like a pretty floral-print bikini, and this one comes with a very affordable price tag.” Shop the matching Bikini Bottoms ($13).

“I’ve been so impressed by The Drop’s accessories that I doubt this one will be a disappointment. It also looks super roomy.”
