I'm a Professional Shopper, and These Cool Designer Buys Scream "Worth It" to Me
Let's be real. There is never a shortage of items on my wish list. If you gave me a blank check tomorrow and told me to put it toward fashion, I could somehow find a way to spend the whole thing and then some. Of course, I don't just buy whatever tickles my fancy, but if I were to, would you want to know what I'd get?
Buckle up—today, I'm sharing the 29 designer finds I think are totally worth it for anyone in the market for a summer splurge this season. From clothes and beachwear to shoes, bags, belts and more, below are the new and/or classic Net-a-Porter arrivals currently in my screenshots folder, some of which are sure to end up in my cart at some point in the near or distant future. I'm nothing if not patient! Ready to get started? Simply keep scrolling.
I think we can all agree that boxer-style shorts are pretty much a staple at this point.
Your classic white dress, elevated.
Missoni prints are constantly changing (and disappearing), so when you see one you love, act fast.
When you compare these to other designer jelly sandals, they're a steal.
You'll still love this in 10 years.
The matching shorts are an absolute must.
This chic swimsuit doubles as a bodysuit and, when styled with the matching skirt, looks like a dress.
I knew they'd perfect this dress trend.
What can I say? It's speaking to me.
Since starting as an intern back in 2013, Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour has held several roles here at Who What Wear, and she is currently Editor-at-Large. Upon joining, she was a senior about to graduate from business school at USC. Fast-forward to 2025, and she's moved to NYC from her hometown of Beverly Hills and spends her workdays a little differently from when she was just starting out. Currently, she focuses on a weekly mélange of shopping content and her Trust Me—Buy This newsletter. As far as her personal style goes, she's largely drawn to neutral, classic pieces but will always make an exception for something colorful or bejeweled as long as it's deemed worthy enough. After all, the only thing she loves more than a party is dressing up for one. On her downtime, she can usually be found at home eating something delicious and trying to force her husband to watch Summer House.
