I Made a Shopping List of 30 Pieces All the Cool Fashion People Are Wearing RN

by Kristen Nichols

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.

As a fashion editor, I’m constantly keeping an eye on what all the cool insiders are wearing. From Instagram to street style snaps to celeb looks and what I’m seeing people wear IRL, I’m always taking screenshots and making mental notes about the pieces that are having a moment. As we head into summer, there are some cool items that are already in heavy rotation and others that are just starting to bubble up that will be season-defining.

Ahead, I made a shopping list of 30 cool summer fashion finds that I’m already spotting on insiders. From the boots that have landed on every cool person’s wish list to the swim trend that’s set to be huge to the bag brand that is about to get even bigger, these are the finds to add to your cart right now.
