The Who What Wear Summer Guide Is Here—Every "Cool Girl" Thing to Know

Summer is just about here and this editor couldn’t be more ready. With cities reopening and travel restrictions lifting, there is optimism in the air and you can really feel the excitement for what lies ahead. There is perhaps no better time for this sense of joy to be spending as we head into the summer season. It’s my personal favorite time of the year when wardrobes revolve around warm-weather fashion and suitcases to fill long weekend escapes.

If you’ve been contemplating what to add to your shopping cart, you’re in luck because our summer fashion guide has arrived. Here, I’m highlighting all of the “cool girl” things to know—aka the key buys of the season that hit on all of our favorite trends. The summer guide zeroes in on the most important buys in every category—from swimwear to shoes to jewelry, and everything in between. You can rest assured that you’re adding every essential piece to your closet for a very stylish summer ahead.

Yep, here's more evidence that the fashion world is looking to the past. Colorful, retro prints are back in circulation and I personally can't get enough of the cheerful pieces.
It wouldn't be summer without sandals and this time around, raised flatforms are already winning out. In my opinion, they add an elevated, directional element to any look you wear them with.
We got a glimpse of the three-piece swimwear trend on TikTok earlier this spring and it has really taken over ever since. Simply pair a bikini with a matching skirt, shirt, or hat to fully embrace the trend.
After Valentino debuted their iconic hot pink button-down on their S/S 21 runway, oversize collared shirts seemed to become a huge trend overnight. Consider this one of the easiest runway-inspired pieces to wear in real life.
Fun fashion is on the rise and that couldn't be more clear than what's happening in the jewelry world. Light-hearted, candy-colored pieces are the thing to own.
Sunglasses are a key accessory for summer and there so many cool styles to choose from this season. I'm personally gravitating to the sculptural shades that feel like small works of art.
That's right, more fun, optimistic pieces are headed your way. While there are lots of specific colors I could call out, I think it's worth noting that high-impact shades are truly the dominant color trend of the season.
"Bare all" is the unofficial motto of summer and that means micro hemlines are in full focus. Whether you're opting for a skirt, dress, or hot pants, a super-short is the common thread.
If you're still into loungewear like I am, you'll want to scoop up a matching shorts set. This is the perfect thing to slip into for a casual weekend look, or layer over your swimsuit at the beach.
Sporty pieces have really taken over among the fashion set. One of the standout items? A baseball cap to pair with everything from swimsuits to shorts sets.
Cutouts are the detail fashion people are really, really embracing this summer. From tops with peekaboo holes to hip-baring pants, there are so many cool ways to tap into the trend.
Chunky, futuristic sneakers may have dominated in past seasons but right now the key item to own is a pair of throwback shoes that look like they were plucked from the '80s.
There are plenty of new bag trends happening right now, but it's impossible to ignore the classic shapes that are being scooped up by everyone right now. If you're looking for a sound investment item, this is definitely it.
Micro hemlines are huge, but the same can be said for maxi lengths—especially when it comes to skirts. To pull this off, follow the lead of fashion people and wear one with a crop top.
The pointy heel trend is the cool shoe shape to know about and they're selling out everywhere. If you want to find a pair in your size, I'd recommend adding them to your cart right away.
Relaxed, tailored outfits have emerged as the key fashion insider uniform this season. To follow the formula to replicate the look, pair a white tee, oversize button-down, slouchy trousers, and strappy heels.

I Tried the Viral One-Leg Jeans, and I Got Plenty of Stares

If you're into fashion and an avid TikTok scroller, you've probably come across the viral and somewhat controversial Coperni one-leg jeans . People who got their hands on them are asking followers how they should style them - and even whether or not they should keep them. Those who are still on a waitlist or are simply curious about the trend are going so far as to DIY the jeans by taking a scissor to one leg of an old pair. I, on the other hand, dared to step into the Romeo Hunte Black One Leg Pant ($232, originally $725), an alternative take on the same silhouette that's even more eye-catching (which, how is that possible?). These jeans were, without a doubt, one of the most polarizing looks I've ever worn - and I've tried some pretty divisive clothing, from Skims butt-enhancing shapewear to the brand's famous push-up nipple bra , and many a sheer naked dress . After wearing the jeans around town to run errands and obviously attracting some attention (st...

Oh, to Be Pedro Pascal's Sparkly Cardigan

Never have we been more envious of an inanimate object than when Pedro Pascal stepped out in a sparkly cardigan this week. As soon as we saw him walking the streets of London wearing the glittery knit, we longed to swap places with it - to be enrobing the heartthrob, catching the attention of random passersby, sparking internet discourse, and ultimately taking responsibility for his style breakout. Pascal has been serving look after look while promoting " The Last of Us " season one and "The Mandalorian" season three this year, working with stylists Julie Ragolia and Fabio Immediato . His latest came on Feb. 23 when he arrived to a radio interview wearing the shiny cardigan in question: a long button-down sweater made of silver foil yarn and created by menswear label 4SDesigns. He layered it over a sheer brown tank top and finished the look with black pants, leather boots, and his usual chunky-framed glasses. Just one day prior, the actor stopped by a photo call...
