 These Are the 12 Most-Wanted Items of Summer—and How to Style Them

This season, the summer’s must-have items include exciting fashion pieces that style aficionados are eager to acquire, such as Alaïa’s voluminous peplum trousers, The Row’s flip-flops, and Jacquemus’s white drop-waist dress. If you’ve been keeping up with our shopping guides, it’s probable that there’s already a cherished item or two in your wardrobe. (If not, think of this as your rough-and-ready guide to seasonal purchases. ) No matter what, the enjoyable section starts now: putting together looks with these essential pieces from the top shop.

Nautical fashion being a trend this season, it’s no wonder that summer textures such as crochet, macramé, and raffia are leading our list of desired items. The first thing that comes to mind is Prada’s ma crame top-handle pouch bag, which pairs perfectly with Zara’s halter neck dress—consider it a high-low balancing act. Alternatively, opt for the contemporary raffia design by Saint Laurent. It serves as a perfect textural counterpart to another highly desired piece: Miu Miu’s white poplin skirt. Who wants a serving of summer? We must also remember those unexpected items that kept emerging, such as Miu Miu’s fashion-girl clogs.

When it comes to accessories, jelly sandals continue to be the summer shoe style that everyone—and we mean everyone—is talking about. At the moment, we desire Chloé’s version—a contemporary jelly sandal featuring an ankle strap. Regarding accessories, we can be seen wearing stylish silver pendant necklaces that are suitable even after the season is over.

The Row’s Dune Flip-Flops 

Embodying the easygoing essence of summer, The Row’s Dune flip-flops are suitable for all warm-weather events, from heading to the beach to wandering through urban avenues. Our favored way to try out the trend is with a city-proof version of the contentious sandal, paired with any day-to-night top, canvas East-West bag, and easy white cotton skirt tote.

Dragon Diffusion’s Woven Bag

 The handbag trend that every fashion girl is sporting this season? A collection of woven tote bags from Dragon Diffusion. The styles are available in various sizes and colors, including dark green, burgundy, and, of course, black. Don it for any event, whether it’s a trip to the farmer’s market or a weekday on the job.

Juju Vera’s Shell Pendant  

Necklace After a prolonged fixation on the understated principles of quiet luxury, necklaces have made a massive return. Pendants of all varieties can now be seen on the runway, featured in street style compilations, and embellishing the necklines of numerous stylish women at 1 World Trade Center. What was the catalyst for everything? the silver shell necklace by Juju Vera

The Market Tote from The Row

Each piece from The Row is designed to complement the twins' timeless, versatile style. Consider the Barn market tote, for instance. 

Tory Burch Tank 

What’s a guaranteed way to achieve a polished, stylish, yet laid-back look throughout the summer? Natürlich mit dem blumenverzierten Tanktop von Tory Burch. With an adorned flower, the essential item takes on a playful twist while remaining easy and breezy. For an artaceous drapery effect, combine it with Toteme’s Cocoon skirt and thong kitten heels for a touch of refinement.

Pants with peplum design by Alaïa

Our style mantra this summer is: the more butter yellow, the better! Alaïa’s peplum pants demonstrate that both the color and the silhouette are enduring trends. 

Miu Miu’s Summer Clog 

Contemporary bohemian hues are beckoning! We adore the more apparent essentials of this trend (such as the billowy blouse, genie pants, and tassels), but we’re also seriously wanting the clog! Add a sophisticated touch to the trend with Massimo Dutti's classic white A-line skirt and Loewe’s Punch shoulder bag in summery raffia.

Dries Van Noten’s Printed Pants

 Summer isn’t complete without something from Dries Van Noten. Allow the pants to take center stage by pairing them with a classic tank top and a straw bag from Sensi Studio. Mesh ballet flats provide interest without overshadowing the look.

Chloé – Grown-Up Jelly Sandale

Fashion folks, you heard it here first! Don’t let the jelly sandal intimidate you. This isn’t the kind of style you would have worn to summer camp ages ago. With its refined ankle strap and sophisticated thong silhouette, Chloé’s jelly sandal exudes a sense of maturity and is ahead of fashion trends. For a playful take on proportion, style yours with a striped tee and Cos's voluminous pleated skirt.

The Drop-Waist Dress by Jacquemus

Jacquemus's spring/summer 2025 collection includes a drop-waist dress that will provide a more sophisticated summer vibe to your everyday outfit. The silhouette is expertly understated without compromising visual appeal. We especially like the look when paired with a striped tote bag and some sculptured accessories, but it looks great with anything.

The Cord Sandals by Prada

The adaptable rope sandal lends a nautical touch to any warm-weather ensemble. Use our guide to find alternatives from Prada and other brands, then accessorize yours with a woven leather tote and a cute cotton-voile minidress.

Miu Miu's Poplin Skirt with Lace Trim

 Wear a Dunst striped polo shirt to carry those preppy codes into the new season. For the perfect beach-inspired ensemble, pair Khaite's ballerina flats with Saint Laurent's crochet shoulder bag.

The Macramé Bag by Prada

The crochet and marcramé accents on some of our favorite pieces are part of our season-long indulgence in all things crafty. Consider this Prada purse, for instance. Wear Cos's comfortable flip-flops with Zara's halterneck dress to go high-low.
