Not to freak you out or anything, but we are officially more than halfway through 2025. Summer is firmly underway, and that means our editors are busy having fun in the sun (with our SPF slathered on) — and, of course, looking good while doing it. When it comes to summer essentials, a few things come to mind: sweat-proof makeup, sun protection (in the form of sunscreens, hats and more), holiday-ready ‘fits and accessories, all of which figured heavily in our editors’ order histories last month. And now, we’re spilling all in our monthly favourites column.
