Thanks, It's New: 19 Items Our Editors Added to Their Closets This Month

Anna LaPlaca  Tue, 28 Jun 2022  Who What Wear

Is anyone in need of some shopping inspiration? Well, nobody asked, but I'm certainly delivering anyway. With a dizzying number of new pieces hitting the market, it can be downright intimidating to peruse what's out there in the hopes of making a little wardrobe update. But that's where I come in, friends. On a typical day, I do some online browsing to highlight the very best shopping picks of the moment, but today, I'm taking it a step further by showing you what we're personally adding to our closets and including some inspirational outfit photos.

There's no doubt our editors are a stylish bunch. (I look to their Instagrams for my own style ideas.) So when I tell you these new tops, bags, sunglasses, and jewelry items are it, I think you'll agree. From the minidress I'm living in this summer to Ally's new It sneakers and Grace's amazing Zara find, keep scrolling for the new fashion favorites we added to our closets in June.

"Hot pants coming through! These are a little more fun than my normal trouser, and that's why I love them. They're stretchy and meant to show off your form, plus they're made by a local Los Angeles designer. Pair with a swirly Who What Wear Collection shirt for optimal results."

"There aren't a ton of accessory brands out there doing a contemporary price point very well. Manu Atelier is the exception. I'm thoroughly obsessed with this little suede number. It's '90s minimalist at its best, and I love that it feels like a more sophisticated cousin than the trendy shoulder bags we've been seeing for several seasons now."

Yep, I'll be living in this linen minidress all summer long. It's perfectly structured to exude an effortless '90s-inspired feel and while the linen is lightweight, it's double-lined so nothing shows through. I just know it's the kind of piece I'll wear for years to come.

I recently wore this duster cardigan on a trip to the Hamptons (as a layering piece over the Who What Wear Collection dress above), and I can't begin to tell you how many compliments I got on it. It's the perfect summer knit and I plan on trying it as a swimsuit coverup next.

I might own upwards of 20 pairs of sunglasses, but there's a reason I reach for this pair on repeat. With a classic oval shape, they're cool, versatile, and timeless—everything I look for in a pair of everyday shades. 

"These are my new favorite sunglasses. From the front, they’re somewhat understated but from the side, they're giving all of that Versace glamour."

"Shopbop has a great selection of Asics. I wisely jumped on this pair quickly (they're sold out now) but these are equally cool. And I can't get over how comfortable they are."

"Italist has an amazing selection of sunglasses (Prada included) at great prices. These sunglasses are already one of my most-worn items."

"I'm a big fan of both Uniqlo's Heatteach and AIRism, but the brand recently this Unisex and cotton t-shirt in the collection, and it's quickly become my favorite T-shirt ever. It's airy and comfortable—I've been wearing it nonstop."

"I added a second Staud Tommy to my collection recently, and it just reminded me further of how much I love this bag. It's a perfect size, adds a cool touch to any outfit, and of course, always brings in the compliments."

"I hate wearing a bra and would go braless if I could, but I need the support. This bralette from Skims is the only bra that I need now. I've actually fallen asleep with it, which I never thought would be possible with a bra. The material is beyond soft, and many of my fellow editors tried this out with me this month and agree."

"I basically live in white tank tops throughout summer, but I recently added this chic and elevated alternative into my warm-weather rotation and it’s been such a hit so far. It feels polished yet is extremely lightweight and perfect for sweltering hot summer days. I also the fact it’s so easy to dress up or down."

"I've been adding a few new summer dresses to my wardrobe this month and this stunner from Reformation is one of my absolute favorites. I'll be wearing it on my upcoming summer vacation with sleek slides and a raffia tote. Oh, and the back is truly Insta-worthy."

"Meet the sandals I've been wearing the most so far this summer. They look like leather but are actually made from a really nice rubber material, which means they're not only super comfy but the perfect choice on any day where you might end up at the beach. And lucky you, because they're now on sale."

"I'm a sucker for trendy sunglasses so I had to buy this summer's It style from Prada. They're one of those pairs that just look so good on everyone. I chose the tortoise color because I had to at least be a little practical but this white option is really fun for vacation looks."

"I can’t get enough of crochet and this little white bikini that I wore on my bachelorette is no exception."

"I guess this dress is technically a beach coverup, but it’s not that sheer, so it doubles the perfect brunch dress. Take it from me."

"While I was in New York, Anna was telling me about the rise of Asics, so I went out and bought a pair of Asics. And now I feel incredibly cool whenever I wear them. End of story."

"I'm a big dress wearer in the summer, so this is a big statement: This is my favorite summer dress. I love the color, I love the fabric, I love the length. It's perfect. I wear it everywhere—errands, brunch, movie nights—you name it."

"I am a huge midi/maxi dress person. Any opportunity I have to throw one on, I take. In fact, as I'm writing this right now I'm wearing one. A good midi dress, flat sandals, and a hat is my summer uniform and this Zara dress I wore to my friend's rooftop and I'm fully obsessed. The fabric has a bit of a thickness to it yet it's not heavy. I love the square neckline and how the hemline hit just above my ankle. I got so many compliments on this dress, I wish it came in more colors."
