Light-as-air linen dresses, summer-friendly tailoring, sleek black sandals—what do all of these warm-weather staples have in common? For one, they are the foundation of any chic summer-in-the city outfit, and two, they can all be found at Mango.
A few weeks ago, I popped into the Barcelona-based brand’s Fifth Avenue flagship in Manhattan to discover (and shop!) its latest summer capsule collection. As one of Vogue’s resident shopping writers, I consider myself quite familiar with Mango’s newest arrivals, but this latest batch of summer style staples had me particularly excited and eager to check out.
During my time in the Mango dressing room, I tried on everything from certified closet classics, like the aforementioned lightweight linen blazer, to the trending now. When it comes to the latter, a pair of capri leggings first came to mind. Summer’s most-wanted accessories also took up prime real estate at my visit—think ’90s-inspired strappy heeled sandals and mesh Mary Janes, plus a mini raffia tote that truly captures that festive summer feeling. Other pieces I wanted to try on were a modern ladylike jacket and a pair of wide-leg pinstripe pants that I see working both in the office and at the beach as a chic cover-up. The best part? All of these Mango must-haves are under $300.
Below, the best items I tried on from Mango, plus more summer fashion favorites to wear with it.
