I'm a Gen Z Editor—21 New-In Summer Buys My Friends and I Are Eyeing Right Now
The sun has finally arrived and it’s given us a taste of summer, swapping out our jackets and cardigans for floaty dresses and tank tops in just a matter of days.
This month my friends and I have focused on curating our wardrobes for the warmer weather - and outfit planning for our upcoming travels, of course. Think all things crochet, poolside cover ups and breezy printed co-ords, alongside the notable rise of some divisive trends, we’re looking at you football jerseys and bloomer shorts.
Francesca Saffari styles her Adidas SL 72's with a satin maxi skirt and knit jumper.
We’ve also been talking accessories galore, from a beach-worthy high street raffia basket bag that looks much more expensive than it is, to the standout starfish earrings as seen on every fashion person on Instagram, perfect for the season ahead yet timeless enough to last year-on-year.
Rayan Xasan showcases her football jersey with cotton shorts and oval-frame sunglasses.
As a 23 year old fashion contributor, it’s my task to share an insight into a Gen Z-er’s wish list - and, of course, what we’ve been placing in our shopping baskets.
So, keep scrolling to see the 21 items my friends and I have our collective eye on this month.
