Vogue’s Summer Most-Wanted List:
Featured in this article
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.
Dragon Diffusion’s Woven Bag
The handbag trend tucked into every fashion girl’s arm this season? Dragon Diffusion’s collection of woven tote bags. The styles come in many sizes and colors, like dark green, burgundy, and black, of course. Wear it for every occasion, be it a farmer’s market run, or a work day.
Juju Vera’s Shell Pendant Necklace
Necklaces are back in a big, big way after a long-lasting obsession with quiet luxury’s pared-back ethos. Now, pendants of all kinds are spotted on the runway, sprinkled in street style roundups, and adorning the necklines of many chic women at 1 World Trade Center. The catalyst of it all? Juju Vera s shell necklace, in silver.
The Row’s Market Tote
Every item from The Row is made to be worn with the twins classic wear-anywhere style. Take the Barn market tote, for example. It can be worn to a farmer’s market, in a quintessential tote bag kind of way, or with day dresses, draped tops, and workwear.
Tory Burch Tank
One surefire way to look polished, fashion-forward, yet casual, all summer long? With Tory Burch’s flower-embellished tank top, of course. Easy and breezy, the staple gets a playful twist with an embellished flower. Pair it with Toteme’s Cocoon skirt for artful drapery and thong kitten heels for added polish.
Alaïa’s Peplum Pants
This summer, our style mantra is the more butter yellow, the better! Alaïa’s peplum pants are here to prove that the color, and the silhouette, is here to stay. Style the hero trouser with a linen tank, a chainmail bag, and Dries Van Noten’s cool-girl sneakers.
Miu Miu’s Summer Clog
Modern bohemian tones are calling! While we’re loving the more obvious staples of this trend (like the billowy blouse, genie pants, and tassels) we’re also seriously coveting the clog! Give the trend a grown-up touch with Massimo Dutti s classic white A-line skirt, and Loewe’s Punch shoulder bag in summery raffia.
Dries Van Noten’s Printed Pants
It’s not summer without something from Dries Van Noten. Let the pants lead by styling it simply with a classic tank top and straw bag from Sensi Studio. A pair of mesh ballet flats add interest without overwhelming the look.
Chloé’s Grown-Up Jelly Sandal
You heard it here first, fashion folks! Don’t be intimidated by the jelly sandal. This isn’t the style you’d wear to summer camp long, long ago. Chloé’s jelly sandal is mature and fashion-forward, thanks to the elegant ankle strap and elegant thong silhouette. Style yours with a striped T-shirt and Cos’s voluminous pleated skirt for a play on proportion.
Jacquemus’s Drop-Waist Dress
Give your everyday wardrobe a more polished summertime feel with a drop-waist dress from Jacquemus’s spring/summer 2025 collection. The silhouette feels masterfully minimal without sacrificing interest. The style looks cool with everything, but we particularly love it worn with the striped tote bag and some sculptural accessories.
Prada’s Cord Sandals
Add a nautical flair to every warm-weather look with the versatile rope sandal. Spotted on the runways at Prada and Miu Miu, this sporty-meets-sailor style is as easy to style as a simple flip-flop. Find options from Prada and beyond in our guide—then style yours with a sweet cotton-voile minidress and woven leather tote.
Miu Miu’s Lace-Trimmed Poplin Skirt
What screams summer more than a poplin skirt? Take those preppy codes into the new season with a striped polo shirt from Dunst. Then, add Saint Laurent’s crochet shoulder bag and Khaite’s ballerina flats for the ultimate coastal-leaning look.
Prada’s Macramé Bag
We’re indulging in all things crafty this season, and that includes the crochet and marcramé details found on some of our favorite accessories. Take this Prada bag, for example. Go high-low with Zara’s halterneck dress and Cos’s easy flip-flops.
