Returns? I Don't Know Her—27 Regret-Proof Items to Buy Now and Keep Forever
From the next It Coach bag to goated basics, these 27 pieces are essential in any summer wardrobe and backed by our fashion editors.
I have this problem where I simply can't return something I bought and didn't like. I don't know if it's laziness or forgetfulness, but either way, it's resulted in my owning a slew of items I never wear, either because they don't fit or I was unimpressed with them IRL. It's not all bad, though. My inability to make returns has had one positive outcome: I've learned how to shop online with such skill and expertise that I now never need to return anything. My online shopping habits are about 99% regret-proof at this point, and since I was already doing a bit of a summer fashion haul myself, I figured I'd share the wealth with all of you. No one should have to live with their bad choices—now, none of us have to.
Basically, the shopping list below is filled with the best summer fashion items of 2026, all of which are guaranteed to impress upon arrival, either because I already can vouch for their quality or I've done enough research to know that they'll live up to how they appear online when you open the packaging they were delivered in. I'm talking about the J.Crew sweater I'm wearing as I type up this story that I've just ordered in another color (I already have three), the mule version of the high-vamp shoe every Who What Wear editor owns, and the only button-down shirt anyone could ever need. Do you want to shop for summer while also avoiding a potential trip to the post office? All you need to do is start scrolling.
Everyone I know is talking about (and carrying) this new Coach Chelsea bag. I love how nonchalant and quiet the branding is on it. It's very luxe.
I've had these J.Crew Luna Pants in my cart for so long, and after seeing about a dozen cool people on Instagram wearing them, I'm finally ready to click purchase.
You don't need to spend hundreds on expensive-looking lingerie. I've tried it all, and Zara lingerie is my favorite.
Shop the matching Satin-Effect Lace Panties ($40).
If you can't afford to invest in one of The Row's Cecily bags, try this Massimo Dutti alt instead. Its bags are very high quality but come with a more reasonable price tag.
