13 Cult Pieces Fashion Editors Are Championing This Summer

We all know the feeling when you set your heart on a particular piece and find it’s sold out when you finally get around to buying it. This happened to me last summer with a number of items I’d earmarked to invest in for a late holiday. To be honest, I take full responsibility. I’m not a forward thinker when it comes to shopping, and historically, my pre-holiday or -event routine usually ends up being a mad dash around Westfield or a same-day Net-a-Porter order. Surprisingly, this doesn’t often come up with very fruitful results. 

This year, although summer is set to look a little different, I have vowed to change my approach and invest in fewer pieces I really love ahead of time. I’ve been thinking about how Arizona Love’s bandana sandals could make my current summer wardrobe so much better, so they were at the top of the list since they’ve just been restocked (a sure-fire sign they’ll be everywhere again this summer). 

New additions that we have already seen creeping into our Instagram feeds include Faithfull’s array of printed dresses (I’ll take any and all of it) and theBest Knockoff Luxury Clothing collection thong sandals, which, trust us, are flying off the shelves already. 

Keep scrolling for summer 2020’s cult products that are sure to stand the test of time.
