My 63-Year-Old Mom is Aware of Trends Before I Am—51 Items She Anticipates Will Be Popular in July.

      I hate to say it, but two things about my mom are undeniably accurate. First, she has an incredible knack for predicting what will become "cool" in fashion well before it becomes popular. Second, she’s usually spot on. Fashion has always come easily to her, and after spending more than five years in the industry—first in retail and then as an e-commerce stylist—she has a thorough grasp of what people want to wear and how they wish to style it. While I don’t often seek her out for shopping advice, many of her friends do. They frequently consult her before making purchases for themselves or their children. So, with the arrival of a new month, I thought it would be fun to ask her what she predicts chic dressers will be looking for or buying in July and share her insights with Who What Wear readers. Within a day, she curated a beautifully crafted selection that included everything from the new Dragon Diffusion bag, perfectly paired with a flowy dress and flip-flops in the Hamptons, to beaded flip-flops likely to be seen on vacationers in Ibiza this summer. Keep scrolling to explore her over 50 incredibly stylish fashion finds for summer.
