While it may be too late to cart up the sold-out, TikTok-viral 2-in-1 Maxi Dress, Lululemon’s new arrivals are here to refresh your summer wardrobe. The reader-favorite athleisure brand recently debuted new linen styles, expanded the colorways for the no-line Align leggings, and released updated iterations of its popular bags. Plus, from Wundermost camis and running shorts to Nulu mini skirts and button-down tops, Lululemon will have you dressed from barre class to brunch, and everywhere in between.
Read on to shop Lululemon’s summer arrivals, which are bound to become the next internet-obsessed styles — so act fast!
Lululemon Bags & Shoes
Whether you’re looking for a canvas tote bag and cushioned flip flops to pack for summer vacation, or the iconic belt bag (in a trending leopard print) and workout sneakers for hot girl walks, Lululemon has bags, shoes, and accessories in chic neutrals and versatile patterns to take you from season to season.
Lululemon Shorts & Skirts
Jumping on the Bermuda short trend, Lululemon is offering several six-inch and eight-inch styles in breathable and stretchy fabrics for everyday wear. But if you’re looking for more leg-baring styles, check out the Shake It Off running shorts in new colorways and the ballet-inspired Nulu mini skirts.
Lululemon Leggings & Pants
Famously beloved for its leggings, Lululemon is always elevating this category. Right now, you can find several new colorways in the seamless Align leggings, plus trendy capri lengths that are warm-weather-friendly. And don’t sleep on the joggers and wide-leg pants when putting together your casual summer outfits.
Lululemon Tops & Bodysuits
Of course, there are plenty of new activewear tops to shop, but we’re also gravitating toward more elevated styles like bow-tied tanks, square-neck camis, and three-quarter-sleeve linen tops. Style them as matching sets or with your favorite denim shorts. Also consider the Wundermost bodysuit for pilates classes and picnics alike.
Lululemon Dresses & One-Pieces
If you’re playing tennis, practicing yoga, or attending music festivals, Lululemon has a range of dresses, onesies, and jumpsuits appropriate for all kinds of summer activities. So whether you slip into a breathable Align dress with hidden shorts for low-impact workouts or a sporty lightweight jumpsuit from the brand’s Saul Nash collaboration, you’ll feel comfortable and cool while looking chic.
When it’s too hot for jeans but you still want to wear pants, linen is the answer. Light, breathable, and blessedly low-maintenance, linen pants are the rare summer essential that checks every box: They’re comfortable in triple-digit heat, instantly pulled-together, and look just as good with a bikini top as they do with a blazer. Whether you’re braving a humid subway platform, wandering a weekend farmers’ market, or dressing for a European summer, linen pants are your one-and-done solution.
This season, the category is quietly thriving. You’ll find exaggerated barrel-leg silhouettes as the heat-proof answer to everyone’s favorite jean, cargo styles with a utilitarian feel, and striped pairs that tap directly into the sardine girlsummer and fisherman trends. Meanwhile, wide-legs — from drawstring and low-slung to sharply pleated — are everywhere, anchoring everything from office looks to beach outfits with equal ease. Black linen makes the case for warm-weather minimalism, while crisp white remains a forever staple for those devoted to versatile neutrals.
Ahead, we’ve gathered the standout linen pants to wear now — tailored, slouchy, coastal-coded, and everything in between. The best part? They’re as cool as they look.
Linen Barrel Pants
This voluminous silhouette has touched all our wardrobe favorites — from jeans to travel pants and loungewear — and now it’s taking shape in linen fabrications. The result? Structured ease that feels trend-forward and heat-wave approved.
Linen Cargo Pants
Linen gives this utility classic a lighter, breezier feel. Oversized pockets and drawstring waists make these cargo styles equal parts functional and fresh.
Wide-Leg Linen Pants
Wide-leg linen pants are the silhouette of the season, offering ease, movement, and so much comfort. Try a low-slung drawstring style with a ribbed tank, or dress up a pleated pair with an oversized button-down.
White Linen Pants
Crisp white linen is a forever favorite that works for the office, beach days, and everything in between. Go wide-leg for extra drama or tailored for a polished finish.
Linen Striped Pants
Stripes are inherently summery, especially when paired with linen and a breezy silhouette. Channel coastal-core with a pair styled alongside raffia accessories and a fisherman sandal.
Black Linen Pants
If you’re committed to black wardrobe staples, linen is your summer loophole. Lightweight and clean-lined, black linen pants deliver sleek minimalism without the heat.

There are a lot of cute underwear options out there — mesh, modal, barely-there lace — but when your skin is feeling sensitive, the humidity is at 90%, or you’re just trying to get through the summer day sans swamp, there’s really only one fabric that deserves the crown: cotton.
Cotton underwear isn’t just the OG for comfort — it’s better for your body. The fabric is naturally breathable and soft on skin, making it a go-to for anyone prone to irritation or chafing. Unlike synthetics (looking at you, nylon), cotton doesn’t trap heat and, worse, moisture (which can lead to bacteria). That’s a big deal if you’ve ever dealt with discomfort or that not-so-fresh feeling after a long day in tight, non-breathable undies. In short: cotton keeps things cool and dry where it counts.
That’s not to say you can’t wear whatever you want — your body, your rules. But if you’re looking to upgrade your underwear drawer this summer, with pieces that check both the cute and practical boxes, this edit is it. Every pick here is made from at least 70% cotton (with most in the 90%-to-100% range), so you’re getting all the benefits of breathability without compromising on style.
From no-show thongs and comfy bikinis to cozy briefs, boyshorts, and easy cotton bras, we did the digging to find the softest, cutest, and highly-rated pairs.
Cotton Thongs
Ideal for no-show days, cotton thongs offer minimal coverage. These styles combine soft fabrics with a stay-put waistband for a comfortable fit that doesn’t dig or shift throughout the day.
Cotton Bikini Underwear
A reliable everyday option, bikini underwear features a mid-rise waistband and moderate back coverage. The breathable cotton construction helps reduce moisture buildup and irritation, making this a versatile pick for daily wear.
Cotton Briefs
Designed with a higher rise and full back coverage, briefs are a favorite for their secure fit and all-day comfort. In cotton, they feel soft against the skin and provide breathable support — ideal for those with sensitive skin or anyone seeking more coverage.
Cotton Hipster Underwear
Hipster cuts sit low on the hips with slightly more coverage than bikinis but less than briefs. These styles are great under mid-rise bottoms and offer comfort with enough stretch to move with you without riding up.
Cotton Boyshorts & Boxers
With a wider leg opening and longer cut, boyshorts and boxers are a comfortable choice. Their smooth, non-binding silhouette helps prevent lines under loose shorts or flowy dresses — or work on their own as loungewear or sleepwear bottoms.
Cotton Bras
Cotton bras offer lightweight support and a softer, more breathable feel than many synthetic, underwire options. From unlined bralettes to lightly padded styles, these picks prioritize comfort without sacrificing shape or structure.

In the third season of the Sex and the City sequel series, And Just Like That, the quippy humor and hijinks-filled storylines feel like throwbacks to the OG show. See: Carrie’s (Sarah Jessica Parker) wisecrack to Miranda (Cynthia Nixon) in the premiere — “I don’t know which is worse… that you slept with a nun, or that you slept with a tourist.” Or: Carrie’s visit to Virginia, which brings to mind Season 4’s Episode 9 in which Carrie goes to the country home of Aidan (John Corbett) in Suffern, New York.
This season, as Carrie faces the uncertainty of a long-distance relationship with Aidan, she tries to move forward — and out of her comfort zone. Having left her longtime Upper East Side haven for a Greek Revival house in Gramercy, she tries her hand at writing historical fiction. Reflecting these changes, Carrie’s always-discussion-starting fashion breaks new ground, while also revisiting the past. Ahead, And Just Like That’s costume designers, Molly Rogers and Danny Santiago, discuss some of their favorite looks from the season so far.
Carrie’s Victorian Sensibility
Carrie opens the season by writing vintage postcards to Aidan, who is living in Virginia. Her circa-1840 house complements the old time-y pastime — along with her romantic, rose-adorned jacket-and-dress set from London designer Simone Rocha’s ethereal Spring 2024 collection, which nods back to Carrie’s former signature look.
“We got excited because it kind of moved the needle on the tutu… we thought that was a more adult [take on the] look,” says Rogers.
The puff-sleeves, full skirt, and corsetry also hint at Carrie’s late-1800s-referential wardrobe evolution to come as she attempts to write a period novel. Inspired by the avant-garde John Galliano’s Maison Margiela 2024 Artisanal collection, Rogers and Santiago imagined Carrie’s sartorial interpretation of the horse-and-carriage era.
In episode two, she wears a Donna Karan beige bodysuit and white Mary Jane pumps by Paula Votteler with a raw-hem Margiela denim skirt with Victorian bustle-style draping. In episode five, for a truce/brainstorm dinner with her neighbor Duncan Reeves (Jonathan Cake), Carrie further explores period dressing in vintage khaki riding jodhpurs and an off-the-shoulder Jean Paul Gaultier top.
“She’s thinking about her novel that’s looking back at this time,” says Santiago. “So some of her fashion decisions are based on her research.”
Carrie’s Controversial Hat
Along with sky-high Manolo Blahnik heels and Fendi baguettes, statement headwear has long been Carrie’s calling card. Outdoing herself again, she kicks off Season 3 with a sculptural, pink gingham hat by Maryam Keyhani paired with a vintage Ossie Clark dress with an inverted basque waistline and pannier-like skirt silhouette.
“We wanted something that felt very light, airy, fresh, and playful,” says Santiago, about aligning the look with the summer day in the park setting. “There is a nod to that [late-19th-century] period, especially the hat. She’s in her inspiration period right now.”
But Carrie’s whimsical hat — aptly-named “Head in the Clouds” by the brand — seems to have caused even more discussion than her up-in-the-air relationship status with Aidan, with many poking fun of the look, which surprised Rogers. “I’m shocked that at this point that people even bat an eye at Carrie in some wackadoodle great hat,” says Rogers.”Do you want us to put her in a canvas sun hat? The alternative is not Carrie cool.”
Carrie’s Travel Outfit
In episode four, Carrie wrangles a speaking gig that’s conveniently located in Virginia near Aidan’s farm, where she’s hoping to stay on an extended visit. Carrie dresses as only Carrie would for treks through sprawling airports and waits in rental car lines: head-to-toe Vivienne Westwood.
“We’ve had historical costume moments with Westwood all through the original series,” says Rogers, adding that the team also wanted to honor the legendary designer who died as they were prepping for the season. After pairing Westwood’s Victoriana-meets-punk Panther dress with a chevron cardigan, Rogers and Santiago decided to go all-in with the British designer.
“I think it’s the only time Carrie has worn one designer head-to-toe,” says Rogers. “That’s a big Easter egg.”
Carrie somehow fits all her travel essentials into a circular Orb tote from the brand, and dashes to the car in strappy, five-inch brown platform sandals that would not be conducive to a mile-long walk (or ATV drive that she later takes) through the countryside.
“The strappy shoes used to be [Parker’s] favorite shoe in the entire world,” says Rogers, who unearthed the Westwood heels from the SATC costume archive. “After she had filmed in them for a week, she said, ‘I never want to see those again. They were so painful.’”
Carrie’s “Carrie On The Prairie” Dresses
After Aidan finally invites her to stay at his farm, Carrie, who lost her luggage, swaps out her Westwood outfit for Aidan’s son Homer’s (Corbin Drew Ross) baseball uniform — paired with her Westwood heels, naturally — to get new clothes. After inquiring about nearby retail options, she heads to Daisy’s Dress Shop, which apparently only carries floral maxi dresses and nightgown-like frocks. After purchasing a few styles, Carrie refers to her new look as “Carrie on the Prairie.”
Even though their prep coincided with the Nap Dress craze and cottagecore trend, with plenty of current options available for the costume designers to pull, Santiago says the costume designers decided to go “the vintage route” to avoid associating any one brand with the episode that pokes fun at the fashion available in Aidan’s rural home.
“Please don’t say ‘Summer’s Eve,’” says Carrie, referencing the floral fashion in the brand’s cringe-y ‘80s commercials. In the end, her ’70s-inspired dress — with flowy sleeves, ruffles, and pink florals on chevron stripes — walked the fine line of looking unexpectedly cool in that Carrie way while still providing comedic relief necessary for the episode that sees Aidan struggling to parent his son Wyatt (Logan Souza).
“There were so many jokes written for that scene,” says Rogers. “But honestly, in the end, it looked like something that came out of Saks or Zimmermann.”
Carrie’s Offscreen Shoe Outfits
Carrie does not believe in a shoe-free home and insists on stomping across her hardwood floors in various heels in episode five. This, much to the consternation of her downstairs neighbor, Duncan, who’s suffering from a case of writer’s block.
“We were hoarding shoes from day one,” says Rogers of the envy-inducing montage of shoe close-ups. “We were calling everyone and saying, ‘Send us your best shoe. Make sure it’s the latest and greatest, and it has to be, not clunky, but it has to make noise.’”
If you play the montage in slo-mo and use your imagination, maybe you’ll catch some of the full looks that only Carrie would wear at home. If you ask the costume designers? “There’s the day-glow Rene Caovilla heels with the Isabela Capeto charm dress,” says Rogers. “I bought it in the Hamptons with SJ.”
The outfit combos also include: Aquazurra yellow slingbacks with a vintage pink dress, Rene Caovilla pink crystal bow-adorned heels with a Bob Mackie opera coat, a Missoni crochet dress and white Manolo Blahnik thigh-high boots, Maskit overalls and turquoise Alexander McQueen western-style heels, Ralph Lauren Polo boxer shorts lined with vintage crinoline and customized Gucci patent Mary Jane pumps, and sweatpants with red sock booties that were designed by Rogers and Santiago for Parker’s SJP Collection. Despite knowing that these looks would not appear in full onscreen, Santiago and Rogers felt it was important to create them regardless for the purpose of storytelling.
“They wanted us not to put these outfits together,” says Santiago. “We ended up styling every single one of those shoes and made outfits to go with them.”

As the sun beams down and temperatures rise, we’re reaching for our lightest and brightest pieces. While summer typically calls for vibrant colors, this season there’s a fresh emphasis on powder pastels and zesty hues. And as predicted, many of 2025’s top color trends are officially having their moment.
From sorbet nails and sardine prints to Mocha Mousse tones, the fashion food craze is going strong. Now, a full-color feast — from pistachio green to clementine orange — is being served across summer staples. Designers like Sergio Hudson and Emilia Wickstead showcased cotton candy pink on their spring/summer 2025 runways, while labels like Quince and Hill House Home have plucky shades like sky blue on offer. Meanwhile, fashion influencers are declaring cherry red the new “tomato girl summer” shade (unsurprisingly, we’re here for it).
In addition to being a major swimwear trend, bright red has made its way into every part of the summer wardrobe. The bold hue popped up all over spring/summer 2025 runways via matching sets, statement dresses, and high heels. Try it monochrome for impact, or pair it with pink for a refreshingly bright combo — we even love it with blue for a fisherman-coded look.
Summer 2025 Color Trend: Pistachio Green
Whether sparked by Dubai’s pistachio chocolate obsession or runway momentum, this playful green is everywhere. The distinct shade (and all of its brighter and more muted variations) is fueling a summer dress trend that’s equally fun for daytime picnics and evening events. It also plays well with Mocha Mousse for a more understated, earthy effect.
Summer 2025 Color Trend: Cotton Candy Pink
Slightly brighter than early spring’s baby pinks, cotton candy tones are having their moment. From nostalgic ruffled gowns to power suits, the darling hue balances whimsy and structure — equally fitting on a puffed sleeve top or a platform sandal. Look out for smaller pops via pink accessories, too (think silk headscarves and mini bags).
Summer 2025 Color Trend: Sky Blue
From refined button-down tops to versatile maxi dresses and playful bloomer bottoms, sky blue was a design house fan-favorite… and is now splashed across staples from our favorite brands. Treat the bright hue as a neutral — like white or navy — or make it the star of the show through head-to-toe outfits and statement accessories.
Summer 2025 Color Trend: Clementine Orange
Vibrant and juicy, this zesty orange stands apart from this season’s pastels, transforming farmers market citrus and tropical island florals into wearable pieces. The runways delivered bold separates and sweeping gowns, but accessories like swim sarongs, chokers, oversized sunglasses, and bags are giving us the most inspiration.
Summer 2025 Color Trend: Butter Yellow
Of course, we couldn’t forget about butter yellow, the color viral we’ve all been melting for. From runways to reader-favorite retailers, the pale hue continues to dominate. Luckily, it’s easy to pair with other pastels or crisp black for a high-contrast, retro-meets-modern mix.

From a European summer comeback to an Addison Rae summer renaissance, there are distinctive aesthetics taking over our TikTok feeds — and entering our hot-weather wardrobes. One of the newest, dubbed “sardine girl summer,” is a kitschier take on spring’s fisherman aesthetic, with fish prints and sardine-shaped accessories leading the way.
Playing off the tinned fish craze of recent years, these designs transform a divisive pantry item into a playful, wearable motif. So even if you don’t like to eat sardines, you can still wear them and participate in the fishy fashion movement.
Labels like Staud have debuted sardine tin bags and matching sets, while Bottega Veneta has released drop earrings and sunglasses with sardine-shaped temples. Reader-favorite retailers like Anthropologie and TJ Maxx have also offered (now sold-out) TikTok-viral beaded sardine handbags.
Now, with the summer solstice behind us and vacation plans ahead, it’s the perfect time to reel in new styles and have yourself a sardine girl summer.
Sardine Bags
The most popular way to style sardines? On your shoulder, of course. From hand-painted totes and intricately beaded shoulder styles to metal tin crossbodies, sardine bags instantly become a focal point of any summer outfit. Wear one to al fresco cocktails or a beach wedding. Or… run your errands with a viral Trader Joe’s reusable sardine shopper.
Sardine Print T-Shirts & Tops
A sardine graphic tee is the easiest way to dip your toe into the trend — ideal for boat rides, boardwalk strolls, and backyard barbecues. These throw-on styles are effortless and cheeky, but the prints have also expanded to tanks, button-downs, and summer-weight knits for even more styling potential.
Sardine Necklaces & Earrings
While sardine jewelry is abundant, you can get away with any long, slender fish design to channel the look. Pendant necklaces and fishy-linked chains are peak sardine chic. For a subtler take, opt for a pair of drop earrings or studs.
Sardine Dresses & Skirts
Under-the-sea prints are a major summer dress trend, making it even easier to find Instagramable sardine-printed designs. From vibrant fish-tin motifs to dainty schools of fish, these dresses and skirts can serve as a statement piece for special summer occasions or the ultimate everyday flex, styled effortlessly with raffia accessories and boat shoes.
