The summer season has begun and with it the perfect excuse to throw a party. Whether you’re hosting the event of the year or attending a friends soiree, it’s time to line up your go-to looks for any and every get-together. We’re styling looks for everything from tea parties to intimate backyard weddings.

Weddings are our speciality. With fabrics that feel smooth against the skin for those humid ceremonies and silhouettes that move alongside you on the dance floor, our wedding wear will keep you looking fabulous on the big day and beyond.

Our Kathe Dress in Raspberry Grandiflora is the stunning pop of red your wardrobe has been waiting for. The shirtdress design keeps you looking polished while the lightweight cotton helps you feel your best no matter the temperature. We love cuffing the sleeves to make room for some chunky bangles and adding a raffia wedge sandal.

We personally wear white all year round, but summer is certainly the season to lean into the crisp colorway. Our Phoebe Wrap Top and the matching Crawford Skirt in the delicate Foxgloves print is a wedding go-to. Pops of red, green, and purple climb up the white backdrop to make a look that’s both statement-making and sophisticated. Wear the top with the skirt for the wedding before wearing it with jeans during the week days. Versatile styling at your fingertips.

Even if you’ve secured a tucked away spot in the shade, wearing fabrics that are lightweight for an outdoor garden party is critical. Luckily we have plenty. This year we’ve leaned into floral prints which will match your party backdrops perfectly.

The Liza Tunic and Carol Skirt in the vibrant Blue Pansies print is a no brainer. Alongside the matching belt, this look offers a sophisticated amount of coverage for a wedding while still helping you keep cool in the summer heat. We love styling the look with some cream wedges, that vintage clutch that goes with everything, and some statement gold jewelry. Want a print that stands out? Choose the same look in our striking Raspberry Grandiflora print.

If you’re looking for a longer length and worried about the rising summer temperatures, the sheer fabric of the Geraldine Sheer Dress is the way to go. The Raspberry Grandiflora print will give you the pop of red you’ve been searching for while the asymmetrical neckline will keep the compliments rolling in. We love bringing out the pale blue backdrop with matching jewelry like our Blue Coral Hoops while also opting for nude heels and a pink lip.

We are determined to soak up as much outdoor dining as we can this summer. From breakfasts at the resort to dinners on the back patio–al fresco is in. For any of these moments we’re reaching for pieces that lean into effortless dressing so that you can go from having no plans to hosting in less than fifteen minutes.

Our bold Red Ranunculus matching set which includes the Lucille Cotton Tunic, the Paloma Cotton Pants, and the matching belt takes you from ordinary to extraordinary in no time. We love how comfortable the fabric is so feel free to wear it all day as you prep in the kitchen or slip it on right before guests arrive. Versatile in styling, feel free to pair with white sneakers one day and heels the next.

Cheer to a summer of parties. AvA is always looking for ways to bring our community together and one of our favorite ways to do that is to provide looks that help you feel confident, beautiful, and effortless. Now let’s have our best summer yet.
