Here are the 30 top items to buy for your summer vacation, without a doubt.
Most Wanted is a weekly series where one editor, staff member, or influencer shares their top 30 essentials or current wish-list items. With summer approaching and vacations in sight, I've been considering what to add to my wardrobe for the warm weather and what suitcase-worthy pieces I’ll be taking on my upcoming trips. My shopping approach is to buy less but prioritize quality, which means I typically invest in items that I know I’ll wear for many future seasons. This could mean anything from a $35 L.L.Bean tote bag to premium swimwear. I also look for trend-forward pieces that I believe will remain stylish over time. Keeping that in mind, I've curated a selection of my top 30 shopping picks for the summer season. The list includes items I've personally tried that I love so much I'm looking to get them in new colors, timeless pieces worth investing in, and fantastic budget-friendly finds. Below, discover the best summer vacation shopping from this fashion editor.
