Cool, Comfy & Made for the Heat: Why We’re Living in Xirena This Summer

Xirena just screams summer—and it should. The brand was founded in Los Angeles and carries that effortlessly laid-back California vibe. When you look at this collection, you can practically feel the sunshine and imagine yourself poolside or on the beach.

Another reason we love Xirena? It’s made right in California. We've always supported brands made in the USA, but now more than ever, it makes a real difference. The pricing has always been fair—most dresses are under $300—and it’s reassuring to know those prices remain consistent even when so much else doesn’t.

Xirena is exactly what you want for the hot, humid days we know are coming in the DMV. The lightweight fabrics and relaxed silhouettes keep you cool and comfortable, even when the heat index soars—which it’s about to.

I’m especially loving the gingham trend this year, and the Taytum dress was such a hit I had to grab it in both navy and black. I’m also packing the Bobby and Justine dresses for my daughter’s senior trip to Puerto Rico—they’re perfect for daytime exploring and double as stylish cover-ups.

Come see what’s new from Xirena at The Hive—and don’t miss our summer sale while you're at it. New arrivals and sale styles are moving quickly!
