From fashion buyers to stylists, every month we’ll highlight the best fashion picks recommended by the shopping leaders of the fashion industry. Today, the world’s best shoppers are sharing what’s on their wish list for the summer season ahead. Scroll below to shop their must-haves.
Elizabeth von der Goltz: Global Buying Director, Net-a-Porter
"We can expect to see chunky sandals everywhere this summer, and they’ve already made their way onto every It girl on Instagram. I’m particularly loving Chloe’s take on the trend with its sunset ombré chunky sole and barely there sandal wrap top; it’s the perfect blend of comfort and femininity.”
"Summer holidays are all about a fabulous straw tote. Loewe’s basket bags have been an instant hit since last summer. Their newer Slit tote can be rolled up and packed in your suitcase, making it the perfect travel companion. More importantly though, it can also fit all my beach essentials!”
Caroline Maguire: Fashion Director, Shopbop
Lisa Aiken: Fashion Director, Moda Operandi
"Rylan’s bags also have such an under-discovered cult-bag feel. The clean top handle, rectangular shape, and vintage feel makes it a timeless staple. I find when something is vintage, that piece has a much longer staying power since the style feels inherently classic.”
Jessica Raiter: Fashion Director, 11 Honoré
Natalie Kingham: Fashion and Buying Director, Matchesfashion.com
"Anklets were something we saw a lot more on the runways for S/S 19 and provided the inspiration for us to work with a number of our brands, including Timeless Pearly, Aurelie Bidermann, and Anissa Kermiche on exclusive anklet collaborations. The charm styles from Alighieri are a standout for me and are a highlight accessory for the summer.”
"Sparrows Weave is a new brand for S/S 19, and I love their luxurious and thoughtful approach to the vacation handbag. The use of the wicker alongside the refined details and leather in the bags make them the ultimate travel accessory for the beach to the bar.”
Sherri McMullen: Boutique Owner Buyer, McMullen
"I’ll be traveling to Portugal and the South of France this summer. I always love pieces that are comfortable, chic, and playful for the summer weather. These shoes are ideal for walking around town this summer in France. They aren’t sandals, but the open weave is great for the warm weather, plus the color is the right amount of pop to pair with neutrals.”
Rebecca Brewer: Senior Buyer, FWRD.com
