Trust Me—Buy These 22 Things
Trust Me—Buy This is a series where editor at large Nicole Eshaghpour makes her favorite fashion finds shoppable for Who What Wear readers.
Welcome to the latest installment of Trust Me—Buy This! Just a warning, over the last few months I've been a bit all over the place (literally and figuratively) so you can expect the shopping roundup you're about to encounter to mirror that sentiment! Home, vacation, early pregnancy, late pregnancy—we've got the picks for all and more, so buckle up. As always, you can expect largely a mélange of my favorite basics (including several duplicates because they're that good) plus, of course, the occasional "fun" find. This time, those are mostly in the beachwear category because 'tis the season. If any of that made your ears perk up, simply keep scrolling to get started.
These four items—my J.Crew Rollneck, Donni cargoes, The Row Idaho bag, and Salomons—are heavy in my rotation right now, and I'm dreading the day it gets too hot for knitwear in New York.
You don't often see me in print, but when you do it's on vacation and 50% likely an animal variety! I love Zebra, and I loved this sheer dress for wearing over a bikini on a recent trip.
Now that it has started to warm up, I have been living in this breezy maxi dress from Dissh.
Circling back to travel for the next few slides, I love a crochet dress for vacation, and this one from Baobab was the perfect combination of special and relaxed. It has the loose, laid-back silhouette which, paired with the resin stone detail on the front, is ideal for anything from the beach or a night out.
If you're looking for a non-maternity but maternity-friendly swimwear brand, it's Hunza G, and I was obsessed with how perfectly this blue one-piece paired with my blue-checked cargo pants for a beach and shopping day.
Half the times that I'm scrolling and come across a cover-up or summer dress that I love, I feel like it's by Cala de la Cruz. My exact print is from last year, so it's no longer available, but the same dress does come in a new and arguably cooler print, below.
If you're looking for non-basic basics, look no further than this ribbed red tank, and these leveled-up broderie anglaise drawstring pants!
This photo is admittedly not my best work and not doing the jacket justice, but I was running out the door and really did want everyone to know about this on-trend, funnel-neck jacket that Reformation has perfected. It's lightweight enough for spring and summer but roomy, so you can layer knits under when the weather gets a little cold, too. And the drawstring at the waist is the cherry on top.
More drawstring pants? Yes. Your eyes are not deceiving you. This time, it's the $98 J.Crew pants our entire team is loving paired with the Madewell tee I own in multiple sizes, colors, and duplicates because it's that good.
So if it's not abundantly clear already, I am, in fact, obsessed with these pants and this sweater and do own each in three colors.
Now, this is really outside the box for me, but like I've said in the past, I'll always step outside my comfort zone for a piece that is special enough, and this VRG GRL dress that I wore as a cover-up felt like a worthy excuse.
Closing it out with me in my comfies… I will never stop raving about pointelle pants as the superior casual bottom option, nor will I cease to sing the praises of these cute, chic, and, most importantly, breathable, mesh Miu Miu slides for summer.
