These August Fashion Launches Beat the Heat

When it comes to August fashion, comfort and style are paramount. Think: airy silhouettes, lightweight fabrics, athleisure pieces, and shoes made for walking (or strutting, if you're anything like me). If your wardrobe could use an upgrade, new launches from brands like Christy Dawn and Anthropologie make it easy to spruce things up.

From sporty collabs to bold swimwear collections, there is no shortage of August fashion launches to add to cart. Read on for our top picks and why they're worth the price tag.

Shondel's new collection, Passion in Paradise, has plenty of swimwear that will help you turn a look as you wave summer goodbye. Bright colors and bold patterns make this collection unmissable, no matter where your August itinerary takes you.

Adidas Originals x Sporty & Rich Track Short

Adidas Originals and Sporty & Rich's latest collaborative capsule collection is all about honoring the legacy of the classics—and the Olympics.

We particularly like these track shorts, which are perfect for getting in on the sporty short trend before summer ends.
