YES, IT'S AN ISLAND BANDEAU

Did anyone ask for a bold burst of color? No? Well, I did. This knit number satisfies all my summer style needs with a playful palm tree graphic printed across the front, a lettuce trim and sultry, strappy tie-up details to take it up a notch. The Yes, It’s an Island Bandeau crop top shows off enough skin to keep up with the trends of the season and withstand the heat of the sun. 

NIGHT SWIM DRESS

Who doesn’t love a fresh twist on a LBD? This little black dress courtesy of Cider’s Summer 2025 Collection is more than your average spaghetti strap dress. Packed with personality with star and cactus prints sprayed across the front, the Night Swim Dress can work wonders as a coverup or as your summer date night look with a special someone. 

CIDER DENIM LOW RISE STRIPE WIDE LEG JEANS

Even in the heat of the summer sun, jeans still serve a stylish purpose – particularly a colorblocked pair. Sitting comfortably low on your hips, the Cider Denim Low Rise Stripe Jeans are a must-have for summer hangs that can be dressed up or dressed down. Pair these denim threads with a cheeky crop top for a night out on the town or with an oversized, breezy blouse for the workday.

TERRY U-NECKLINE STRIPE BRACELET BIKINI SET & COVER UP SHORTS

A good matching set is a dream for every fashion lover on the go. Especially while soaking up sun rays on a beachy vacation, I want to  throw something on and go. CIDER’s Terry U-Neckline Stripe Bikini Set and Cover Up shorts are instantly flattering, and the striped print makes its own maximalist statement, blending comfort and cool, bold style elements.

ABOUT THAT LIFEGUARD DRESS

Nothing says “Summer is in swing!” like a chic sundress. This cherry red option from CIDER’s Summer 2025 lineup has a feminine, babydoll silhouette that can be easily paired with sandals or cowboy boots — in line with the Americana aesthetic that will continue to take over the scene this season. This is the ideal, no-fuss option for outdoor picnics, state fairs or wherever else your summer takes you.

RIND TIME MAXI SKIRT

I love a monochromatic moment and tend to stick with earthy colors during the spring and summer months. In the city, I gravitate toward maxi skirts for an effortless, breezy look. Cider’s Rine Time Maxi is a shape-defining silhouette that’s easy to pair back to flattering, off-the-shoulder tops. Pick up a tote bag and throw on some gold hoops, and you’re set with a summery, boho-chic ensemble that’s both comfortable and stylish. With a snug drawstring at the waist and a relaxed body drape, this style subtly flaunts your curves without the restraints of a bodycon shape. And cotton, for what it’s worth, is a breathable material that holds its shape, especially during those sweltering summer months. 

FAMILY YACHT HALTER

For those who take pride in their collarbones — a body-hugging halter can highlight the delicate femininity of your décolleté and arms, which can be quite flirtatious, given the right silhouette. The Family Yacht Halter offers a tangy, tropical color palette that’s both dopamine-inducing and darty-approved. The cropped structure complements your favorite pair of high-waisted denim or a flirty maxi skirt. It’s a summer-bound silhouette elevated with a cut-out accent and contrast stitching for a touch of personality.
