My Best Friend Asked What's Chic Right Now, and I Sent Her Everything in My Cart at Shopbop
Everyone has their "thing" among their circle of friends. Some are great hosts, some always know the coolest restaurants, and some are truly gifted trip planners. Well, my strength, as you may have guessed, is shopping recommendations, so when my best friend asked me what's chic and worth buying right now, I simply sent her my current Shopbop saves. I always have a running list of standout items saved at the top retailers (both for work and personal reasons), but I feel like Shopbop's selection is particularly strong right now.
What's on the list? All the key summer 2026 buys, of course—from Chan Luu's viral taffeta pants to woven Madewell tote bags to baby-blue swimwear and colorful striped dresses practically made for a European getaway. Oh, and there are little white tops, embroidered-hem pants, and tennis ball–yellow Staud dresses. There's also a range of price points. I figured I'd share the list here, so scroll on for the best summer 2026 styles from Shopbop, in my opinion.
Look at that draping!
Minimalist, logoless raffia bags are it.
What a color combo.
I know you were eyeing it.
Square-toe flip-flops are infinitely more elevated.
It's a stripe summer!
It's all about baby blue right now.
You can't beat this price.
These are *the* pants fashion people are clamoring for.
Wedges are so back, and I love the texture on these.
I actually just ordered this. I mean, it's so chic!
Wait until you see the back.
I just can't get enough of this color.
Another day, another Staud bag added to my wish list.
The back!
If you're going on vacation this summer, I highly recommend a fun dress like this.
These are the perfect length and wash.
PSA: It comes in three colors, and they're all gorgeous.
So elegant.
All the cool fashion people are championing this color.
The perfect pop of texture.
You can never have enough little white tops.
Embroidered-hem pants are trending, and these are so chic.
Just a very good vacation dress.
Chic!
Another great open-back moment.
The bag you'll return to every summer.
An easy "throw on and go" top.
Taffeta shorts are the moment.
The perfect vacation outfit.
With the matching pants, of course.
There's a reason these keep selling out.
