With nautical fashion very much a thing this season, it’s little surprise then summer textures like crochet, macramé, and raffia are topping our most-wanted list. Prada’s macrame top-handle pouch bag comes first to mind, pairing perfectly with Zara’s halterneck dress—call it a high-low balancing act. Or, try Saint Laurent’s modern raffia style. It’s an ideal textural element against another most-wanted item—Miu Miu’s white poplin skirt. A serving of summer, anyone? We can’t forget about those surprising pieces that kept popping up, either, from Miu Miu’s fashion-girl clogs to The Row’s colorful market tote. Other more out-there takes include the ever-so divisive flip-flop and Tory Burch’s flower-embellished tank top. It is the summer, after all, so why not go bold?

Accessory-wise, jelly sandals remain the summer shoe style on everyone’s—and we mean everyone’s—lips. The nostalgic sandal came roaring back onto the scene thanks to The Row, of course, whose cherry red and electric blue jellies were the undeniable standout on the pre-fall 2024 runways. Currently, we’re coveting Chloé’s iteration—a modern jelly sandal with an ankle strap. As for jewelry, you’ll find us sporting cool silver pendant necklaces that can be worn past the season’s end.

Below, a definitive guide to styling summer’s most-wanted list. Fashion tip: These It items are quick to sell out, so shop now while you still can!

The Row’s Dune Flip-Flops

Perfectly capturing summer’s laid-back vibe, The Row’s Dune flip-flops are fit for any warm-weather occasion, whether you’re darting off to the seaside or sticking to the city streets. In fact, a city-proof take on the controversial sandal is our preferred method to test out the trend, complete with any day-to-night top, canvas East-West bag, and effortless white cotton skirt tote.
