There's something to be said about the romanticism of plotting a specific fashion piece.

It might go a little something like this: You find 'the one,' research the brand, fall in love, and, if you're lucky, the price will drop right before you hit "confirm payment."

We're not talking about a new pair of jeans or the perfect white tee. We're discussing those grails that you only take out of the closet on special occasions – some may call them luxury items, but we prefer to call them timeless pieces that are worth the investment.

If you've been wanting to treat yourself to something extra (because you're worth it), then we have a few pieces that we'd like to throw into the ring.

For your consideration, take a look at our top five selections for summer pieces that are worth the price tag.

bode – Duotone Crochet Overshirt Green

If you haven't thought of adding a full crocheted piece to your closet, now is the time to reconsider. Bode offers up the ideal summer overshirt that you can guarantee no one else will be wearing at any given function. Paneled in bright green and cream.

Martine Rose – Square Toe Mule High Shine Black

Martine Rose creates a high-fashion take on the everyday mule. With an open back and metal chain detailing near the squared toe, these shoes strike the perfect balance between business and casual whether you're heading into work or OOO.

Loewe – Paula's Ibiza Shell Print Bowling Shirt Black

Nothing says summertime quite like Loewe and bowling shirts. In one of its latest iterations, Loewe's "Paula's Ibiza Collection" conjures all of the warm weathered imagery we love. Bright-colored seashells and breathable silk, this shirt will be your new put-it-on-for-anywhere piece.

Marni x No Vacancy Inn – Poplin Shorts Multi

Earlier in the season, we helped Marni x No Vacancy kick off the season right. Featuring the duo’s collaborated collection, we took over Maxfield Los Angeles to give the public a taste of the collection of the summer. Bucket hats, printed scarves, and colorful cardigans all find their home in this drop, but if you want our opinion, try the Polin Shorts for size. While you’re at it, you may as well cop the matching bowling shirt too.

MCM x Crocs – Belt Bag Clog Irish Cream

We know what you’re thinking with this one. While it can be argued that everyone should own a pair of Crocs – even David Hockney can rock them – you may not see the value of these MCM x Crocs at first glance. Let us make our case. The German luxury house effortlessly upgrades Crocs’ beloved silhouette. Each iteration of the clog is designed with the signature mini belt bag, which points directly to MCM’s archival Belt Bag style while retaining all of the utility features of the classic Croc. Whether you’re hanging by the pool or heading out to dinner, this shoe provides elevated wearability for any summer event.
