Brandon Blackwood

"In-the-know girls are well aware Shopbop has stepped up its game in the past few years to include some of the buzziest brands, including Brandon Blackwood. What I love about being able to shop Blackwood's work through Shopbop is that I'm not only supporting a Black designer, but the bags themselves are like a work of art." — Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, fashion editor

Shop the brand:

Missoma

"You really can't go wrong with Missoma jewelry. I've lost count of how many pieces I own. Shopbop always has an excellent selection of Missoma necklaces, rings, and more, and I can never resist adding them to my cart." — Erin Fitzpatrick, associate director of fashion news

Shop the brand:

Staud

"I own quite a few Staud bags, and all of them have been purchased through Shopbop. It's helpful to buy everything from one place, and Shopbop has everything from simple staples to the fun handbag I can't stop admiring. Plus, if you're lucky enough, you'll get a pretty Staud item during one of the sales they often run!" — Yusra Siddiqui, associate fashion editor

Shop the brand:

Pixie Market

"Once Shopbop started carrying Pixie Market, it was game over for my bank account. The label does elegant minimalism so well that its affordable price point never fails to make me do a double take." — Anna LaPlaca, fashion editor

Shop the brand:

Levi's

"Shopbop has an amazing selection of Levi's to suit a range of styles. I'm particularly into these utility jeans right now." — Bobby Schuessler, market director

Shop the brand:

Hunza G

"I've been a fan of Hunza G swimwear for years. It's comfortable, fun, and timeless. And I love that I don't have to worry about what size to order since it's pieces come in one size that stretches to fit." — Allyson Payer, senior editor

Shop the brand:

Strathberry

"I've loved Strathberry since Meghan Markle wore the brand a few years ago. The Scottish brand's bags are exceptionally well-made and super utterly classic." — Fitzpatrick

Shop the brand:

New Balance

"The latest New Balance sneakers tend to sell out quickly (and they certainly do on Shopbop), but the retailer consistently restocks trending styles like the 550s." — Schuessler

Shop the brand:

Agolde

"Shopbop has an incredible selection of Agolde, which is my go-to brand for jeans, shorts, and T-shirts. Its basics are always cool and forward." — Payer

Shop the brand:

Christopher Esber

"There's nothing quite like Christopher Esber's sultry shapes and slinky dresses, so I always make a point of seeing which pieces are stocked when I go to Shopbop. The way it's always artful but understated makes me a bit emotional." — LaPlaca

Shop the brand:

Susana Monaco

"If you're looking for affordable basics with a bit of a twist, Susana Monaco has the best finds that are simple, yet still cool." — Nicole Akhtarzad Eshaghpour, editor at large

Lioness

"Shopbop has a range of mixed prices, but their affordable options from Lioness are always where I head first. While the retailer stocks the brand's basics, a lot of the more trend-forward items tend to sell out pretty quickly, so prepare to think fast." — Siddiqui

Joanna Ortiz

"Joanna Ortiz feels like home—and to me, that's the sunny shores of Miami Beach. The designer's warm weather-approved sundresses and two-piece sets are some of my favorites to wear back home and on vacation. They give me an instant burst of tropical energy I know I'm lacking cooped up in my tiny New York City apartment all day."—Ana Escalante, assistant shopping editor
