11 Summer Items a Shopping Director Likes for Fashion People

As you can probably guess from the title, today we’re going to be talking about shopping. Yes, as shopping directors, we basically talk about shopping every day. Specifically, I’d like to share with you 11 modern staples (all very stylish) that I recently suggested to various people in my life when they asked me for advice. These items may also inspire your spring/summer wardrobe.

Below you’ll find the t-shirts I wear over and over again and send to anyone who will listen, the most beautiful everlasting earrings (hello, Chanel), and of course, the sandals I’ll be wearing all season long. We’ve also compiled more new releases for summer 2026 to expand on our initial list.
