Summer’s MVPs

Fun in the sun, hot summer nights and al fresco dinners are so close you can taste them — time to figure out what you’ll be wearing for all of it! We suggest starting with one of these designers — your summer wardrobe will be sorted in no time.

FARM Rio

  • Brazilian brand Farm Rio draws its inspiration from the feminine spirit and vibrant colors of Rio de Janeiro. Bright colors, tropical-inspired prints and a cheerful, toes-in-the-sand attitude have earned Farm Rio cult-favorite status.
  • Launched:
    2008
  • Fun Fact:
    The brand began as a booth started by founders Katia Barros and Marcello Bastos at a local fashion market in Rio.
  • The Must-Rent:
    Easy printed sundresses ideal for beating the summer heat — and standing out in a crowd.

Veronica Beard

  • Sisters-in-law Veronica Miele Beard and Veronica Swanson Beard got the idea to start their line after spending family gatherings chatting all things fashion. They soon realized women were missing an easy, liveable uniform that simplified getting dressed, and Veronica Beard was born.
  • Launched:
    2010
  • Fun Fact:
    The Veronicas share more than just a first and last name — they’re also both Cancers and are the middle child in their families.
  • The Must-Rent:
    A white tweed matching shorts set for an easy look that’s effortlessly polished.

Tanya Taylor

  • Designer Tanya Taylor’s eponymous line takes a creative, artistic approach to fashion inspired by the energy of New York City and the women who inhabit it. Think: color, tons of texture and hand-painted prints — basically everything you’re looking for in your next summer statement piece.
  • Launched:
    2012
  • Fun Fact:
    Taylor is an artist at heart — the designer grew up taking art classes and painting murals on the walls of her childhood home.
  • The Must-Rent:
    A vibrant green halter maxi with an open back that will become the summer staple you didn’t know you needed.
