There are lots of summer trends worth talking about, and we're covering them all. But which ones do our editors think are worth investing in? To find out, I posed the question to our Who What Wear team so that they could weigh in about the key summer items they love so much that they're willing to pay a bit more for them than just any passing trend. These are truly the new classics they imagine wearing now but also for many seasons to come.
Ahead, our fashion editors are sharing the cool trends they're eyeing and the exact pieces sitting in their shopping carts. From the cult sunglasses you'll be sure to spot on fashion insiders to the jewelry trend that's going viral to heels they're swapping in for house shoes, there are so many epic finds they just told me about. Here, see the cool investment summer trends our editors want you to know about.
Jacquemus always delivers when it comes to must-buy summer items. This season, I can't stop thinking about this tailored midriff-baring top.Savette's beautiful bags were just launched earlier this year, but I can already tell that the brand will be a long-term fashion-insider favorite for investment buys.I can't say enough good things about Isa Boulder's stunning swimsuits. This one-piece is something I'm recommending to all of my friends."I had my reservations about these when I first spotted them a few seasons ago, but I think they have real staying power as a pair I will want to wear again and again. Loewe's sunglasses are instantly recognizable.""Printed shirts are really becoming a thing for me—it's really weird! I am still disappointed I didn't get ACNE's toile printed shirts from its S/S 19 collection, so I'm not making the same mistake twice.""I love that this raffia bag is so structured and polished. You can wear it with a swimsuit or get away with wearing it with something much fancier. Plus, as far as designer bags are concerned, the price is pretty reasonable.""I think investing in a special dress that you'll wear multiple times throughout the summer is a worthy splurge. This Ulla Johnson one is pretty stunning.""I like to invest in a new pair of sunglasses every summer and have been veering more toward timeless styles as opposed to trendy lately. These Garrett Leight x Clare V. sunglasses (which are a favorite of Jennifer Lawrence) look good on every person I've seen them on, so I think it would be safe to order without even trying them on.""I'm not a huge heel person, but I do love a little added height, so a block or kitten heel is my go-to. In the summertime, sandals pretty much go with everything, so it's worth investing in a neutral pair that you'll wear often. I've recently bought a white pair, and this black one is on my list. I can see myself wearing it casually with jeans or dressed up with a going-out dress.""Traveling will hopefully start to be more of a thing this summer, so a big tote bag to fit any necessities you're not packing in your carry-on or suitcase is something worth investing in.""Stunning doesn't even begin to describe this artsy crystal and enamel creation.""I probably have an unhealthy obsession with this color at the moment, but this Ciao Lucia crop top is so charming and fun that I couldn't help but add it to my cart.""A pair of fun sandals is the quintessential summer investment piece. I personally have been eyeing these stunning BY FAR sandals in the season's best color: pink!""You really can't ever go wrong with investing in a white dress for summer—this stunning puff-sleeve dress is a great option, if you ask me.""Investing in a fun bag for the summer is a must. I love this market tote from the Black-owned brand Petit Kouraj.""There are certain pieces I know for a fact I'll wear all summer—this chain happens to be one of them.""I love investing in beautiful blouses that can instantly dress up a pair of jeans. Even if I'm wearing the same jeans every day, a pretty top will make my outfit feel special.""I'm also eyeing structured bags in fun colors for summer. This serene pastel yellow feels perfect for warm-weather months but will definitely still work all year long.""I'm also always on the lookout for quality jackets. This one by Ganni is such a cool yet wearable take on the classic denim jacket. What's not to love?"
Charlize Theron is back in business with an elegant boss-chic look. For her appearance on the “Jimmy Kimmel Live” show yesterday in LA, the actress wore a pair of black leather culottes featuring a high-waisted silhouette, a black shirt and a pair of ankle-strap sandals and nearly 4-inch heels. The Oscar-winning actress complemented her look with silver rings, black sunglasses and a black clutch for a sophisticated yet edgy feel.

Sarah Jessica Parker was seen twirling on Friday in one of the most iconic “Sex and the City” pieces, the tulle skirt for the series reboot “And Just Like That.” The HBO Max program will nod some styles the columnist Carrie Bradshaw wore during her New York City adventures, including a tulle outfit seen in the SATC opening credits that Patricia Field created in an improvised manner.
