Daisy Edgar-Jones for Gucci Lido, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley for Burberry, Moda Operandi's Club Moda—according to the brands and retailers all across the luxury market, summer has arrived. Vacation-coded collections are launching everywhere I look right now, and they're filled with so many pieces that I already know the fashion crowd will be reaching for all season long. Some already are. We've started to see celebs taking some of these buzzy accessories for a spin, like Sofia Richie Grainge, who packed her Row Dune sandals for a recent vacation, or Daisy Edgar-Jones, who recently wore a pair of Celine wire-rim sunglasses while making press appearances in NYC.

Then there are the accessories that I just know in my fashion-editor bones will become It items soon enough, like the printed Pucci scarves that are destined for a splashy moment or the Chanel fishnet pouch that's just begging to be brought beachside. From hats to sandals to sunglasses, I'm outlining the designer accessories that are reaching It status this summer. Keep scrolling to discover and shop them all.
