I've been contemplating my summer 2024 wardrobe and the new items that will land in it this season. While I'm planning a few beach vacations, I'll also be spending plenty of time at home in New York City, so my key shopping finds range from swimsuits and sunglasses to pack for my trips to dresses and heels that will work for the office and dinners with friends. Items such as sleek one-piece swimsuits, printed sarongs, and strappy sandals feel destined for my suitcase this summer. On the other hand, pointed ballerina flats and tapered cigarette pants are set to be on heavy rotation in the city.

The one thing they all have in common? These finds all feel peak summer 2024 and have the elegant and timeless qualities that are set to define fashion for the season ahead. Here, shop each of my picks, all of which are from Saks so you can add everything into one shopping cart.
