The Exact Swimsuits, Sandals, Jewelry, and More I'm Shopping First This Summer
Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.
With a few upcoming summer work trips and vacations, I've been thinking about the pieces that will land in my suitcase. It's been a few years since I've headed on a beach holiday, so fresh swimwear and sandals are top of mind as well as other summer items that will be in rotation day to day in New York where I'm based. Many of the items topping my shopping list hit on the biggest trends of the moment, such as olive green and scarf-print one-pieces, and those to come, but I'm willing to bet that most of these picks have the potential for a long duration in your closet. After all, my approach to shopping takes that into consideration first and foremost, and I've aligned that with my edit here.
Ahead, shop my fashion editor–approved list of summer shopping picks.
I already own this swimsuit in green, but it's so good I would love it in another color.
The gold embellished detail almost feels like jewelry.
With the finished hem and slightly long inseam, these feel like a more grown-up take on denim shorts.
I just bought these in black since the tan style has become a go-to summer shoe choice.
Just add sandals and a sleek bun.
