I’m going to Montauk, Copenhagen, and Madrid this summer: Here are 30 items I’m purchasing now and will pack later.
Most Wanted is a weekly series where an editor, staff member, or influencer showcases their top 30 must-have items or wish-list picks. Every summer, without fail, I promise myself to pack lightly. Yet, as always, I find myself hauling an overpacked carry-on through cobblestone streets, regretting the six pairs of shoes I insisted I would "definitely need." If you can relate, you understand.
After wrapping up my summer with three significant trips, I decided to challenge myself by focusing on packing timeless summer essentials such as linen pants and white tank tops, while having fun with a few accessories and easy-to-pack statement pieces. These choices should allow me to look great in three distinctly fashionable cities: Madrid, Montauk, and Copenhagen. While each destination has its own unique style, they all share a whimsical and playful vibe that I'm keeping in mind while shopping.
Whether you're off to a coastal Airbnb or simply daydreaming of a vacation through your summer wardrobe, these 30 selections are both stylish and practical. Believe me—you'll want to save this list.
Havaianas
Fusion Square Logo Flip Flop
I spotted a friend sharing these two-tone flip-flops, and as a devoted Havaianas fan, I knew I had to snag a pair for Copenhagen Fashion Week.
Aritzia
The Effortless Pant Cropped
A cropped white pant feels so effortlessly chic during summer.
J.Crew
5" Stratus Lace-Trim Short in Textured Satin
These Ice Cream-colored lace-trim shorts have taken over my feed lately, and I can't wait to wear them on my summer adventures.
Madewell
Cotton Perfect Crewneck Tee
Simple, easy, and pairs perfectly with jeans.
Madewell
Relaxed Pleated Trouser Shorts in 100% Linen
These shorts are just a bit shorter than culottes, but I’m still in love with the longer length.
I've always loved Margaux ballet flats (I own five pairs!), but after seeing this adorable 2000s-inspired denim version, I might just need a sixth.
TWP
Next Morning Cotton Shirt
This buttery yellow color is just perfect for a European summer.
Juju Vera
Petra Shell Pendant
Of course, the season’s most popular necklace is at the top of my wish list.
Reformation
Sara Linen Dress
It’s always a delight when Reformation produces a cute summer dress in extended sizes.
Can I wear this nightgown on the beach in Montauk? Just checking for a friend.
Lié Studio
Mary Beaded Necklace
Lié Studio is one of my favorite Danish brands, so you can bet I'm loading up on all their chic jewelry before heading to Copenhagen.
Not your mother's diamond huggies!
An additional tassel necklace to grow my expanding collection.
Just add this bag charm to any raffia tote this summer for an added touch.
Ancient Greek Sandals
Saionara Jelly
These flip-flops closely resemble another pair I'm eyeing (at a lower price, of course!).
Magda Butrym
Floral-Appliqué Crochet Tote Bag
Tory Burch
Tank Top in White
Helsa
Mini Dress With Lace in Tech Poplin
After seeing Who What Wear's editor-in-chief, Kat Collings, post about this swing mini dress, I’m convinced I need it.
Helsa
Cotton Twill Anorak
Another sporty option from Helsa that I can't stop imagining wearing during long airport waits this summer. Who says flying economy can't be stylish?
TOTEME
Striped Silk Crepe De Chine Scarf
As a regular wearer of Toteme scarves, I’m thinking about getting this black version to tie around my waist with linen pants.
Zara
High-Waisted Satin Pants
This set absolutely exudes luxury.
Zara
Strapless Satin Effect Top
It also comes in a stunning oyster hue!
The Row
Barn Mini Striped Mesh Tote Bag
This reminds me of the trendy grocery bags European women carry everywhere while running errands. Sure, it’s quite pricey, but I’m a bit obsessed with it.
Gap
Linen-Blend Midi Skirt
Haven't you heard? Polka dots are officially back in style.
Gap
Linen-Blend Crop Shell Tank Top
This top can be paired with a black miniskirt, not just the matching maxi!
Dissh
Tahlia Cornflower Ramie Midi Dress
This dreamy blue color is hard to resist.
J.Crew
Gathered Linen-Blend Bra Top
I can't quite explain why I'm so drawn to this chic gathered linen bra top, but I’ve been thinking about it since I first spotted it on J.Crew's website almost a month ago. Into the cart it goes!
Tory Burch
Embellished Mirror Skirt in Yellow
As a fashion editor, I absolutely need this Tory B
