We Shop (Like, a Lot)—24 New Closet Acquisitions We Can't Shut Up About
Pictured: Aligne Monika Waistcoat ($136)
There's something about the month of June that makes us want to shop even more than we already do. We've officially entered a new season, summer is finally in full swing, and with it come droves of fresh inspiration and new ideas for what to wear and how to wear it. Not only are we making daily decisions about our day-to-day wardrobes, but we're also thinking about what to pack and wear on all the vacations we have planned for the summer. This all makes for the perfect storm of shopping, and our editors' order history can attest to it.
Among our editorial team, we've collectively reviewed thousands of summer's top shopping picks and have inevitably purchased a handful of the very best ones. Today, we're pulling the receipts and showing you what we've personally added to our closets this month along with some inspirational outfit photos to show how we're styling our new-to-us picks. There's no doubt our editors are a stylish bunch. (I look to their Instagrams for my own style ideas.) So when I tell you these new buys are it, I think you'll agree.
Keep scrolling for the new fashion favorites we added to our closets this month. These are the season's top-notch picks, according to us.
Kat Collings, Editor in Chief
"I loved Anna October's holiday collaboration with J.Crew, so I was excited to hear the Ukrainian designer was back for round two with a summer collection. I am thrilled to upgrade from my usual button-down cover-up situation to this knit beauty. The crochet at the bust is gorgeous, and you have to see the tie-back detail. I'll leave you with six words of advice: buy the dress, book the vacation."
Allyson Payer, Senior Editor
"There are so many full black skirts to choose from, but dare I say this one's the best? The material is so nice and light but not see-through, and it doesn't wrinkle too much. Plus, it has pockets. I plan on wearing it constantly this summer."
"I don't know what took me so long to order these. They're so soft and flattering, and they're the perfect length for my 5'4" frame, which is a rarity without hemming."
Kristen Nichols, Associate Director, Special Projects
"This Staud dress is so good (as is the price tag) that I want to order it in multiple colorways."
Anna LaPlaca, Senior Editor
"I swear I can't wear this top without getting tons of inquiries about it. The label is Aligne, the British brand behind that viral butter-yellow blazer, and I'm pleased to report that the rest of its tailoring is equally as forward. I'm extremely picky about wearing color, but Aligne's palette makes it so approachable, like this martini-olive green that basically styles itself."
"Orseund Iris has mastered the art of the cool-girl wardrobe, and the launch of its Le Circle Bag has only taken that POV into accessories too. I have a million black shoulder bags but have only been reaching for this one all month."
"My go-to source for top-quality basics is Almina Concept, and the brand has done it again with this skirt. I've gone on several trips already this summer and can't seem to leave without packing this chic maxi. It's crisp and polished and makes even my simple tank tops and sandals look pulled-together."
Aniyah Morinia, Fashion and Beauty Editor, Branded Content
"Tory Burch is definitely a fan favorite here at WWW, and now that it's summer, we're all wearing the Patos sandals. I may or may not have accidentally matched with Jasmine at the office last week. They go with everything and are the perfect statement sandals to throw on."
"Jorts are quite the controversial trend, but I'm embracing them this summer. This pair is under $100 and has that barrel fit that has been trending heavy all year."
Anneliese Hendersen, Senior Editor, Branded Content
"This little tube top from Amelie Teje has been my entire personality these days. I wear it with just about every type of bottom I own. Jeans, skirts, capris—you name it. There are also matching capri pants that I think I need to add to my rotation very soon."
"Full skirts are my jam for summer, and this one is absolute perfection. It's a super-lightweight material to keep you nice and breezy on warm days."
"I'm a big barrel-jeans lover, and I love this tapered take from Citizens of Humanity. The jeans are so relaxed without being too baggy and just sit perfectly on my waist. I also am in love with the color—the wash almost makes them look vintage."
Sierra Mayhew, Associate Editor
"I love ballet flats, but in the summer when the heat is as intense as it is now, they can be a little too stuffy. These ballet mules from Madewell are absolute perfection. These shoes required no breaking in and look incredibly chic with anything."
"With one glance, these shorts had to be mine. For a road trip to the Hamptons, I can't imagine wearing anything better. They're the perfect casual option to have on hand for anything summer might bring."
Eliza Huber, Senior Editor
"I stopped into Banana Republic's new store in SoHo a bit ago to try on pieces for WWW and fell head over heels for this poplin shirt and these carpenter pants. I just know they'll both get a ton of wear this summer and beyond."
"I've perhaps never worn anything as beautiful as this draped mini from Tory Burch's S/S 24 collection."
Jasmine Fox-Suliaman, Editor
"Confession: I've been coveting the Ferragamo Prisma Shoulder Bag since its debut on the brand's F/W 23 runway. However, it wasn't until recently that I decided to finally indulge my fantasies by buying the bag. Frankly, I'm not sure how I was functioning for so long without it. First, every aspect of this bag is incredibly well-made—from the shiny patent leather to the distinct two-tone hardware. Secondly, the geometric shape itself is so stunning. I love that it's as functional as any other shoulder bag with a spacious interior and adjustable strap but still has a little edge (quite literally). It's honestly one of the best designer bags I've ever bought, hands down."
"At one point, I swore I'd never wear mesh ballet flats, but the joke was on me, clearly. After seeing these cheap but cute white ballet flats on two colleagues, I challenged myself to test the trend. Honestly, I'm not a full convert to mesh flats. These are as expensive looking as versions from designer brands, and they're some of the most comfortable flats I've owned thanks to the cushy footbed. If you've been wondering whether or not you should dip your toes into this trend, these shoes are a great place to start."
"With summer in full swing, I was searching for a sophisticated one-piece to get me through the season, so when I found this Same suit, I was super excited. What I love about this suit is that the cut provides a lot of coverage while still looking incredibly cute. In terms of sizing, if you are a bit bustier (like myself), I recommend going up one size to ensure the proper fit."
"Call me cliché, but I love the idea of wearing shell jewelry in the summer. It just feels so on-brand for the season. Therefore, when I found this cute shell necklace from a small jewelry label, I knew I had to have it. Sometimes, these types of pieces can feel a bit cheap, but this one is incredibly well-made. It features a real shell, an adjustable length, and a cute rope cord that's not irritating on the skin. It's such a great statement piece for the summer."
Nikki Chwatt, Associate Editor
"This summer, I've been on the lookout for the perfect lightweight pair of pants that are petite-friendly and gentle on the skin. When I stumbled upon Citizens of Humanity's Marcelle pants on TikTok and saw how quickly they were selling at major retailers, I knew I had to get a pair for myself, and I'm glad I did. They have everything I was searching for—a modern barrel leg, utilitarian-inspired details, lightweight and durable fabric, versatility, and a loose but flattering fit. I'm looking forward to styling them in many different ways throughout this season and beyond."
"The new raffia tote from Mango has become my go-to for everything, from pool parties to dinners in the city. What I love about it is the combination of leather and straw details, which allow me to dress it up or down. Additionally, I can wear it on my shoulder or carry it in my hand when it's folded into a unique shape. This versatility ensures that I'll be able to wear it for years to come."
