This summer’s most-wanted list consists of buzzy fashion pieces that style enthusiasts can’t wait to get their hands on, like Alaïa’s mini raffia bag, Ancient Greek Sandals’s jelly sandals, and Citizens of Humanity’s drawstring jeans. All the pieces in our lineup are equal parts versatile and stylish, ready to be mixed and matched for all your summer dressing needs.
With the boho-fashion revival in full swing – thanks, in part, to Chemena Kamali’s appointment at Chloé – it comes as no surprise that whimsical textures like crochet and broderie anglaise are topping our most-wanted list. A crochet midi-skirt from & Other Stories comes to mind, which would pair perfectly with Nili Lotan’s paisley-print scarf top and Aeyde’s snake-effect sandals. Or why not try Rabanne’s lace-trimmed, billowy blouse, which captures the free-spirited feeling of the summer season when styled with Re/Done’s denim maxi skirt and a pair of A.Emery sandals. We can’t forget about those minimalist must-haves, either, from Simon Miller’s fringed two-tone dress to a pair of striped pyjama-like pants from Skall Studio.
Accessories-wise, jelly sandals are the summer shoe on every fashion insider’s wish list. The nostalgic sandal made a stealth return thanks to The Row, which unveiled a pair of cherry red and electric blue jellies that became a standout on the pre-fall 2024 runways. Raffia bags are still a prized accessory for the summer months, and there are plenty of covetable versions from the likes of Sensi Studio and Loewe. As for jewellery, when we’re not dripping in shell necklaces and drop earrings, you’ll find us sporting cord pendant necklaces and simple cuffs.
Below, a definitive guide to styling summer’s most-wanted list. Fashion tip: These pieces will likely sell out, so shop now while you still can!

Zara’s sheer midi-skirt + a strappy heeled sandals
Another bold yet elegant summer trend we can’t wait to wear? The sheer skirt. At Gucci’s resort collection, gauzy skirts were front and centre – and this one from Zara is an appealing high-street option. Styling-wise, try playing with proportions and layer it with La Ligne’s oversized striped shirt. Add some welcome height with Khaite’s strappy heel sandals and carry all your personals in Loewe’s trusty crossbody bag.
