    Summer can be one of the most difficult months to dress for. After all, when it's hot and humid outside, you may be more focused on cool comfort than on style, eschewing accessories and excess fabric in favor of easy, breezy pieces that don't make a steamy situation worse. However, summer fashion can still be both comfortable and elegant, and few brands demonstrate this quite like & Other Stories. Their pieces are designed in Paris, Stockholm, and Los Angeles, and are therefore diverse enough to be worn by a variety of people with a variety of tastes. And now, you can nab dozens of their most coveted pieces for up to 40 percent off with their blowout sale. 

    The sale, which runs until July 2, includes items from all of the brand's categories, including apparel, shoes, accessories, swimwear, and more. And, because my summer wardrobe is in desperate need of a refresh, I've searched the site's sale items with a fine-toothed comb, looking for the best deals on the chicest, most versatile picks. Below, my favorites.

    & Other Stories Criss-Cross Strap Midi Dress $149 $50 | & Other Stories

    A midi dress like this is perfect for sunny summer afternoons spent window shopping or relaxing in the park. Its low back with criss-cross straps is sure to keep you cool, and its sweetheart neckline and tiered hemline make for a breezy, romantic look.

    & Other Stories Frilled Sleeve Peplum Top $129 $101 | & Other Stories

    & Other Stories Linen Visor $49 $15 | & Other Stories

    Visors are among my favorite types of summer hats: They provide all the style and sun protection of the classic baseball cap, but without causing dreaded hat hair. This linen option is bound to match with all your favorite summer fits, and will take you from the tennis courts to the pool to the city streets in style.

This linen jumpsuit is bound to keep you cool all day long, while its frilled neckline and subtle blue floral pattern will make you look elevated (without any of the effort).
