All The June Fashion News Worth Reading About

It finally feels like summer. Outdoor dining is taking over the bustling sidewalks; parks are packed with runners, bikers, and picnic enthusiasts; beach trips are back on. And from a style standpoint, the happenings are more enticing than ever. Case in point: June’s fashion news runs the gamut from tropical activations (spoiler: Jacquemus is teaming up with a Bahamas resort) and buzzed-about brand collaborations.

Those located in New York, for instance, are in for a treat this summer because pop-ups are, well, quite literally popping up everywhere. Next time you stroll through Nordstrom’s flagship in Manhattan (at 225 W 57th St), head up to the fifth floor for a refreshing beverage and a quick bite to eat at The Summer Terrace, a redesigned space that’ll be open until September. Or, if you’re in Brooklyn, stop by English clothing and homewares brand TOAST’s new store (the first in the United States!), located at 367 Atlantic Avenue in the Boerum Hill neighborhood.

On the shopping side, Away, a leader in the travel industry, joined forces with New York-based brand La Ligne for a summer capsule featuring a slew of comfy on-the-go essentials. And for the beach? Snag a punchy swimsuit or breezy dress from the La Double J and Orlebar Brown collaboration.

What’s more, outdoorsy types will be fond of the beach towel, picnic blanket, and pop-up tent in the collection.

Fronted by actor Natasha Lyonne, the visually pleasing campaign imagery was shot by Micaiah Carter at a private residence in Los Angeles.
