As a busy fashion editor, I need my wardrobe stocked at all times with the best of the best. This leads me to lean heavily on my consistent scrolls of the new-arrivals sections of my favorite retail sites. The things I've seen lately have been too good not to share, so buckle up—you're in for a ride.
My summer wardrobe will have two distinct personalities, and below, you're going to see a mashup of both. The first will be the clean-girl aesthetic that's currently trending on TikTok. It'll be a substantial collection of wardrobe staples styled to their maximum potential. The second persona in my wardrobe will be an aesthetic based on the bright and colorful runway collections I've been seeing lately. All of the shopping required to fit the bill for my double life is being presented to you today, so join me in drooling over these pieces.
