When you’re blessed with having a job that means you spend at least part of your time shopping for a living, you see a lot of stuff. However, our jobs as editors working for a fashion website mean that we often spend time working out what is and what isn’t worth your cash. Right now, that feels more important to get right, what with budgets being tighter and customers wanting pieces that work harder for them. It’s no wonder consumers want longer-lasting items that still nod to trends but aren’t defined by them. There’s no denying that it can be a tricky couple of criteria to fill.
But as I already mentioned, as fashion insiders this is what we do. For this month, I asked several of our editors what’s on their shopping lists for summer. As it’s finally warm, we’re very much thinking about the latest midi dresses and sunnies to wear right now.
Unsurprisingly, several of our editors picked sunglasses as a key item on their lists for the season. Basket bags cropped up a lot as did swimwear (hey, even if you’re not going abroad, you still might do a holiday at home). There are also some super fun prints, chic sandals and great blouses for those warm summer nights. Keep scrolling for our editors’ summer 2021 shopping picks…
