It's Time to Tidy Up Your Closet and Vanity for Summer—28 Fresh Items to Exchange In

      Most Wanted is a weekly feature where a member of the Who What Wear team or a brand friend highlights their top 30 fashion and beauty items currently on their wish list. Like clockwork, the summer sun has returned—and so has my enthusiasm. With my schedule already full for the upcoming months, I figured it was time to refresh my wardrobe and beauty collection for the season. Although summer Fridays and relaxed beach days sound appealing, the summer can be quite hectic. I often don’t have the time to sift through my entire closet when getting dressed or dig through my lipstick collection to find the right shade for an event. Additionally, with limited space in my NYC apartment, I must be selective about what I choose to add. Below is a curated list of fashion and beauty essentials I’m shopping for this summer. From stylish handbags and silk scrunchies to coordinated outfits, keep scrolling for all the inspiration you need.
