Cool Finds for the Hottest Season

June 12, 2025

Stop by The Shoppes to prep for the hot summer days ahead! Check out the latest trends in fashion, food, and lifestyle. Get set to enjoy the season.

Bold Hues for You

Summer is the time to embrace bold colors in lightweight, breathable fabrics! Summer fashion is aligning itself with the natural world with bright, exotic colors and nature-inspired greens, which you can find at your favorite Shoppes retailers. Embody the vacation spirit with this breezy linen shirt from Talbots. Grab this versatile 100% cotton woven shirt dress from J.Jill, and dress it up for brunch or throw it on as a stylish beach cover-up. Enjoy your next outdoor dinner party in comfort with a vibrant and playful cotton dress like this one from LOFT.

Denim, Denim, Denim

Denim looks are moving away from the distressed details that dominated the 2010’s into a style that feels intentional. We love this slim fit jean from Banana Republic for him. It pairs perfectly with linen button-ups for a classic daytime look. Don’t be afraid of denim-on-denim! It’s a classic look that thrives each season, and you can find the perfect pieces for the whole family at Gap. Stay on-trend with wide-fit jeans from Chico’s that blend comfort and style flawlessly. Add a scarf as a belt for an easy way to level up your outfit, and it’s totally on trend this season!

Adventure’s Calling: Hit the Train in Style

Explore the beautiful outdoors this season at your local walking and hiking trails! Stop by Athleta for athletic wear that’s cute, comfortable and functional. Make sure you stay protected from harmful UV rays — pair your look with new sunglasses from Warby Parker and pick up some sunscreen from bluemercury to protect your skin. All that’s left is to pick a trail!

Summer Glow

Summer’s here, and your self-care game deserves a hot-weather boost! Start by picking up Summer Fridays’ Jet Lag Skin Soothing Hydration Mist from Sephora. The ultra-fine mist soothes and hydrates, providing a lasting glow throughout the hot days. A professional HydraFacial MD at Vibrance MedSpa deeply cleanses and rejuvenates your skin, leaving it radiant and smooth. Don’t forget to complete the pampering with a fresh manicure at Top Style Nails Spa, perfect for your vacation glam.

Savor Summer Bites

Find everything you need to host the best backyard party at our delicious eateries. Save your jar(s) of almost-finished strawberry preserves from Trader Joe’s to serve refreshing jam-jar cocktails! Just add your favorite vodka, lemon juice and ice, close the lid, shake. Top it with some sparkling water and enjoy. And nothing exudes “summer vibes” more than Mexican-style food, and QDOBA’s catering makes serving up a delicious feast easy. When it’s time to wrap up the night, grab a cookie from Panera Bread — whether you go for the classic Chocolate Chipper or the fun Candy Cookie, your sweet tooth will thank you.
