While there are plenty of people constantly telling you what to try and buy this year, there are only a few you can actually rely on in the background—seeing the numbers and setting trends for what people on your feed will be wearing from Memorial Day up until Labor Day. If you don't already know about Caroline Maguire, Shopbop's fashion director, now is your chance to get the inside scoop on what's to come over the next few months. (You're welcome!)

Undoubtedly, summer feels like one of the simplest seasons to dress for: The weather is warmer, the colors are brighter, and the stakes are a bit lower to pull off a chic outfit without leaning into heat exhaustion. With Shopbop's dedicated summer trend edit, it's easier than ever to use the retailer's expertise in pulling off a seamless shopping list. Thankfully, new products, Maguire explained, are added every single day. I don't think it gets better than that.

"This season, it's all about easy, chic pieces with some standout statements mixed. Think swimsuits in blissful brights, little white dresses (LWD), statement sunnies, platform sandals, and, of course, classic denim cutoffs," Maguire toldBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing . "Our edits are created based on the trends we're seeing and what shoppers are loving."

If you're looking for a sign to treat yourself as we inch closer and closer to the official start of summer, this is it. Below, browse items on Maguire's personal summer shopping list along with some Shopbop favorites we can't say no to.
