Most Coveted is a new shopping series sharing our editors’ curation of the must-know items they can’t stop thinking about.
Recently, I’ve come to terms with the fact that I may actually be a summer girl. After all, I all but moved my home office to the garden as soon as the sun came out. This newfound revelation led me to the internet, and of course, I had to stay on top of all the seasonal drops.
I’ve started to incorporate a few summer items into my daily wardrobe and routine, but the time has come to take bigger swings. My stateside colleagues will be happy to hear I’m taking a page from their book and adding baseball caps, raffia, and tweed to my wardrobe. I’ve long lived for the “quiet luxury” look, and this season, I’m thinking outside the box. Below are just some of the items that have piqued my interest this week.
When you start seeing people on Instagram popping out the trusty Jil Sander T-shirt, you know summer is definitely here.
I’ve been slowly adding to my denim collection this season, and Madewell’s light-wash, wide-leg jeans had to make the cut.
Mark my words: Small shades are the eyewear shape of the summer.
A lightly crafted cotton cap with a logo detail—is it too much to wear this with the Jil Sander top?
I used to reserve maxi skirts for vacation, but thanks to effortless pieces like this COS knitted skirt, I’m now living in them daily.
A TikTok fave, First Aid’s Beauty Face Cleanser is a cream formula that removes surface oils, makeup, and dirt.
With a cream-gel texture, Beauty Pie’s lip liner has the best color payoff I’ve ever seen in a pencil.
The pastel and brown detailing takes these “dad sneakers” up a notch.
Like I said, I’m fully committed to the daily maxi skirt, and I trust Raey’s denim more than anyone else’s.
I can’t forget my “clean girl” makeup staple.
You can’t fault me for wanting to upgrade my MET tote bag to this chic denim one from French brand A.P.C.
These gold-and-silver earrings are handcrafted with nickel-free metal.
Nothing beats the feel of vintage leather pieces such as this Louis Vuitton key case.
I’ll wear less makeup this summer, but I’ll always brush one stroke of Beauty Pie’s eyebrow gel over my brows.
A pair of Alexander McQueen sunglasses is always a good idea. I’ll be wearing mine at the beach and beyond.
Paired with the matching boxer shorts below, this poplin shirt is the perfect summer silhouette.
Please see above!
Stop what you’re doing because Saint Laurent has just joined the small-shoulder-bag gang, and this one is raffia.
I’m living out my “retired edgy ballerina’ fantasies with these black patent-leather ballet flats.
Of all the summer hats I’ve tried, this straw visor is the best.
Yes, I’m purchasing yet another pair of the classic H&M linen shorts because they’re just that good. This time, I’ve opted for the blue stripe.
This baseball cap is a runner-up to the Jil Sander one. I can’t hate on anything The Frankie Shop makes.
Thanks to the slingback design, kitten heel, and pointed toe, these Pedro slingbacks are getting a prime spot in my shoe rotation.
I know this tank may seem a little scary, but there’s zero nip slip, and the ribbed cotton material is super comfortable.
These look more expensive than they are.
Another day, another basket bag to roam around with—except this one comes in a multicolor design.
A staple.
Minimalist white shorts for those scorching days.
It may seem like a rogue feature in my edit, but warmer weather calls for a change in bedding. H&M was the first place I went for its linen duvet cover.
Can you even say you shopped for summer clothes if you didn’t buy a dress?
This is the most comfortable thong I’ve ever worn.
