In the Thick of Summer, These 30 Heavy Hitters Are All We Care About

We're deep into summer, which means our wardrobes are already filled to the brim with everything we've been recommending for the last few months. But before we sign off on warm-weather must-haves and start fall shopping, there are just a few more things we want to squeeze in.

As always, we've been turning to Macy's to find everything from the perfect summer dress to the beauty items we absolutely need to try. This month, five Who What Wear editors and two of our favorite fashion friends, Natalie Lim Suarez and Jasmine Crockett, told us what's currently in their cart, and we had to share. From cut-out dresses to frizz-free haircare finds, these are all the items you need to pick up before it's too late.

"Tie-up tops are still a huge trend, so for me, there's no better time than now to hop on the bandwagon for this suiting separate. What I love about this version is that it comes in crisp white cotton, which is ideal for surviving the summer heat in New York City. Plus, it has a crewneck, which balances out the amount of skin you're flaunting."
"You know the phrase 'double trouble'? Well, this set is very much giving meaning to it. It's one thing to wear a fabulous tie-up top, but to wear it with the matching cotton midi skirt? It's too much to handle and far too tempting to not add to my cart."
"There's nothing I love more in this world than an interesting strappy sandal, and this one takes the cake. Everything about this shoe is delicious, from the ball-shaped heel to the thong strap."
"Come summer, in addition to investing in a few great wardrobe staples, I'm all about updating my haircare routine. I love to wear my curls out during warmer months, so having a great hair mask to keep my coils hydrated and frizz-free is a must."
"In addition to investing in a great hair mask for the summer, I also love to retool my skincare routine. Summer in New York is extremely humid and always manages to make my skin break out in eczema patches and pimples. So at the start of the season, I always swap out my moisturizer for a more lightweight formula. This hydrating, oil-free cream is at the top of my wish list."
"Trust me when I say that this mascara will last through anything—rain, heat, a workout, you name it. It never flakes or smudges, and it makes your lashes look so good they basically look like falsies."
"Red nails are the ideal summer staple. I like this red because it has a little bit of an edge to it, so it looks unique on your nails."
"Two things I'm hoping to do this summer: travel and make sure my makeup stays put through the heat. This travel-sized Urban Decay setting spray is the perfect product for that. This spray will ensure your makeup lasts all night long sans touch-ups."
"I'm such a blush person. Especially in the summer, I've been known to swipe blush pretty much all over my face. This stick blush from Tarte goes on sheer and is easy to build up for a seamless, natural-looking glow."
"Retinol is an essential addition to any skincare routine. Kiehl's makes a retinol serum that's approachable and doesn't cause flaking, unlike many other retinol products."
"Wide-leg trousers with white ribbed tank tops are my off-duty summer uniform. I'm calling them the new leggings because they're just as comfortable but way more polished. I'll take them in every color."
"Someone invite me to a wedding so I can wear this dress. It's the perfect occasionwear piece, and I'm loving halter tops right now."
"I can't believe how good this dress is. It's elegant enough to wear to a formal affair, but you can also dress it down with a flat sandal for a vacation look."
"In summer, I'm always deciding whether or not to bring a cardigan with me in case it gets cold at night. Since this one is crochet, it's a great choice for those moments because the open weaving keeps it from being too hot. It would look good over a bikini or your favorite summer dress."
"The second I saw this dress, I just knew that it would make getting dressed for a workday so easy. It's possible to wear cutouts without showing too much skin, and I'm here for it."
"This ultra-luxe cream from Shiseido is all I'll be wearing this season. It's packed with skin-nourishing ingredients like raspberry extract and rose apple leaf extract to help skin maintain its elasticity and protect it from damaging heat and other environmental stressors."
"Repeat after me: I need a quality SPF. Shiseido's luxe formula happens to have hyaluronic acid for extra hydration but is completely oil-free and safe to use on acne-prone skin."
"Whenever I need to do my makeup in less than 15 minutes, I'll use a Bobbi Brown Cream Shadow Stick. The shade Incandescent really does it for me because it's the perfect, shimmery, rose-gold hue for summer. The formula also lasts extra long, so it can easily transition from day to night."
"I'm a complete sucker for a good body shimmer, and Estée Lauder's really makes you glow. It even helps condition dry skin and can be used on your hair. It's the perfect bronzing oil to keep handy for the season."
"My hair is naturally on the dry side and needs extra TLC during the summer. That's when I turn to bond-building hair treatments like Olaplex to help it keep its strength and elasticity."
"This is such a flattering one-piece bikini, and it feels super elegant. I would wear it to the pool with a white sarong wrapped around my waist or pair it with white linen trousers to wear to dinner. A solid white swimsuit is a must, and the halter neckline feels so beautiful."
"This vegan-leather backpack is my ultimate summer travel bag. It works so well at both the airport and the beach. Plus, the color is really chic and a perfect neutral to go with a million different looks. I'm all about the simplicity of this design."
"During the summer, I swap my cream blush for powder blush. This one really lasts all day long. I think a rosy cheek gives everyone a super-healthy, happy summer look! This one from Laura Mercier has just the right amount of pigment, and all you need is a little bit on the apples of your cheeks!"
"This is an amazing tinted moisturizer with SPF 50. It protects my skin and evens out my skin tone. What's special about this one is that it leaves my skin looking luminous."
"This classic scent is perfect for summer and a staple in my routine."
"Summer has me and my family all over the place with work, travel, and all the kids' activities in between. To me, this is the perfect casual and comfy look that I can pair with sneakers when I'm on the go."
"When summer hits, I'm all about florals and bright colors. This dress checks both boxes for me and is also a great choice to wear throughout the day from work to date night!"
"An everyday bag that can also double as a crossbody is a win in my book! Cute enough to carry throughout whatever the day may bring."
"Summer is when I like to keep my makeup very natural and subtle. This setting powder is my favorite to finish off my look, helping me achieve the no-makeup makeup look."
"This is definitely on my list of favorite cleansers. My skin is all over the place during the summer months, and this cleanser helps keep it under control day and night."
