Macy's on Aspire with Emma Grede

I get a little wistful this time of year when the days start getting shorter, but summer isn't quite over and I'm making the most of the last stretch. The best way I know how to hold on to it is to let what I'm wearing do some of the work. Macy's late summer edit is a great starting point. There's a trick I've been noticing everywhere lately: using swimwear as the base of a full outfit instead of an afterthought. You just start with a good suit, pair it with a breezy cover-up, a little textured bag, and some simple sandals so the whole thing feels intentional. The Mediterranean-inspired tones this season—warm terracotta, golden amber, deep sea blues—they're really what carry the mood. A patio dinner starts to feel like something on the Riviera, and a proper fragrance keeps that summer feeling going through the evening. You don't need to leave home to keep the summer mindset. Macy's has the stars, the colors, and the beauty essentials to help you soak up the rest of the season. Head over to Macy's or shop online today.
