10 August Fashion Launches to Close Out Summer

Back to school shopping is upon us. Even if your September won’t involve any studying or homework assignments, you can still partake in this annual right of passage. This month, fashion brands are offering a little something for everyone: cozy sweats, funky jewelry, and silky dresses, to name a few.

Whether you are looking for new basics or statement pieces, there’s so much to choose from. Here are our picks for August’s best fashion launches from brands like Leset and Gucci.

Set Active x Parke Varsity Mockneck

Set Active and Parke are back for another collaboration, and it’s likely that these new launches will not stay in stock for long. The first Set x Parke collab, which dropped last fall, sold out in 10 minutes. Check out their Varsity Mockneck for a classic sweatshirt you’ll wear on repeat this autumn.

Gucci 18k Horsebit Chain Necklace

This month, Gucci is adding fine jewelry to its signature Horsebit collection. Featuring equestrian-inspired pieces made in yellow gold or white gold with diamonds, this collection embraces the classic Gucci look with some bold twists.

Repetto Small Bows T-Shirt

French brand Repetto’s Mini Me capsule is made for children aged 4 to 12. The sweet designs are perfect for aspiring ballerinas. Check out the Small Bows T-Shirt, a light pink, organic cotton top that features tiny satin bows.

Allina Liu Solana Dress

Allina Liu’s Solana Dress hits every mark for summer dressing: a flattering silhouette, airy design, and (most importantly) side pockets. Wear it on your next farmer’s market trip, date night, or museum visit. It will fit right in—and stand out just enough—wherever you go next.

Elizabeth Hooper Studio Stack Wax Ring 2 Sterling

Elizabeth Hooper’s Wax Collection is wearable art. Made through a delicate casting process, each piece has an intricate texture that beats any fidget spinner. For unique, high-quality jewelry, look no further.

Affection Blvd. Heart Mesh Medium Shoulder Bag

A staple bag does not have to be basic. Affection Blvd.’s mesh shoulder bag is the perfect way to spice up your collection. Made from genuine leather, this purse is designed to handle your essentials—just be sure to use the attached heart-shaped change purse for any spare earring backs or safety pins.

Posse Elodie Mini Dress in Blue Blooms

You can’t go wrong with a floral mini dress. Posse’s latest launch looks a bit like a vintage-inspired nightgown, perfect for hot August days. With lace detailing and a boat neckline, this dress effortlessly balances elegance and playfulness. 

St. Agni Soft Silk Bra Bias Slip

St. Agni’s Soft Silk Bra Bias Slip is proof that sexy and simple go hand-in-hand. The form-fitting design was inspired by vintage lingerie, and it shows. Featuring a bra bodice, thin straps, and a dramatic cut-out, this dress is the ultimate date night outfit.

Leset Barb Slip Dress

This slip dress features a simple silhouette in stunning satin. It’s an undeniably sexy design with a low neckline and open back. Plus, the sheen of the material mimics the appearance of wet material. You could say it’s the perfect complement to the wet-look trend, favored by celebs like Zendaya.

Les Tien Tatiana Tank Dress

This maxi dress from Les Tien is a breezy silhouette, perfect for embracing the last days of summer. Add it to your capsule wardrobe for a simple piece that’s versatile enough to wear well into autumn.
