I'm Calling It: These 9 Brands Will Be Everywhere This Summer
As someone who is chronically online both for enjoyment and because of the nature of my job, I'm constantly checking my feeds to see what people are buying, "liking," and wearing. When it comes to summer style, it's especially fun to see the It items and brands that emerge as we get deeper and deeper into the season, and it's safe to say that by this point I already know what's going to be big.
Specifically in the world of luxury labels, there are nine currently winning at being consumers' favorites, all of which I wholeheartedly approve of and would want in my warm-weather wardrobe. From heritage brands like Hermès and Chanel to newer-ish labels including Cala de la Cruz and Alémais to the in-betweeners, consider the below a cheat sheet to what the who's who of the fashion world will be wearing in the coming months. Of course, while you’re at it, feel free to go ahead and shop my picks as well.
1. Miu Miu
From its signature raffia accessories to its shoes and RTW, there's almost too much to love from Miu Miu right now.
2. Alémais
There's no faster track to nailing vacation dressing than with this fun brand known for its dresses, sets, and, most importantly, prints.
3. Hermès
From Oran and Chypre sandals to Birkins, Herbags, swimsuits, and more, Hermès is low-key a trove of It pieces right now.
4. Hunza G
The one-size-fits-all beachwear brand known for its signature seersucker fabric is an editor and influencer favorite year after year.
5. Tory Burch
I urge you to check out Tory Burch's new arrivals and try to leave the page without wanting countless items.
6. Cala de la Cruz
Between Courtney Grow's endorsement and the fact that some of its pieces are selling out before even I can get them in my cart, it's very clear that the brand is having a major moment.
7. Pucci
If you spend as much time gathering fashion inspiration online as I do, then you already know it's a Pucci girl summer.
8. The Row
While the brand is known for its under-the-radar, quiet luxury duds, some of its more easily identifiable accessories are already viral for summer.
9. Chanel
Between its bags, shoes, and beachwear, Chanel is set to be a standout brand for summer—for those who can get their hands on it.
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.
