I'm Predicting Free People's Next 26 Cult-Favorite Pieces
If you've been paying close attention to my stories, you'll know that I've previously shared my predictions for the next cult-favorite pieces at Madewell, Nordstrom, H&M, and Mango. We aim to please here at Who What Wear, so naturally, I've picked some of our readers' favorite brands for this series. The next crowd-favorite retailer on the docket? Free People.
I don't know about you, but when I think of Free People, I think of a breezy patterned "boho" dress—but I promise you that the brand has much more range than that. One of my favorites on this list: the oversized scrunchies available in a rainbow of different colors. Instagrammable yet functional, I have a feeling the scrunchies will be a great mood-boosting purchase for more than a few of you. Scroll down to shop the pieces I think will become the most popular items at Free People.
Yep, this is exactly the kind of comfort level I'm seeking right now.
How fun are these oversized scrunchies in a rainbow of different colors? I love how this model layered both the light blue and yellow versions in her hair. Very Instagrammable.
I can never resist a good Little White Dress—especially if it has puff sleeves.
There will be events again eventually, and when they come, this is what I'll want to wear.
This is the perfect soft, slouchy sweater for summer nights—just as the name suggests.
A white tank top is one of the most versatile clothing items you could own.
Like I've said before, a casual midi dress is the most underrated basic of summer.
I personally love wearing slip dresses with long cardigans.
Next, the #1 dress trend on Amazon—and 7 ways to wear it.
Erin got her start as a Who What Wear intern over 14 years ago—back when the site only published a single story per day. (Who What Wear has since increased that number twentyfold.) She graduated magna cum laude from USC, which is how she ended up moving to Los Angeles from her hometown of San Diego. In college, she also interned at Refinery29, where she was promoted to editorial assistant and then assistant editor. After nearly three years at R29, she came back to WWW in 2016, where she currently holds the title of Associate Director of Fashion News (as well as the unofficial title of resident royal expert—in case you haven't noticed her numerous Kate and Meghan stories). She spends her days trying to incorporate her idols, Anna Wintour and Roger Federer, into as many stories as possible.
