My Stylist Friends Agree: These Are The Top 10 Pieces For Summer
The other day, I popped into Nordstrom for a little “blog research,” aka trend shopping, to see what’s new and what’s selling. Needless to say, it was a successful trip — I always come home with a thing or two. My visits usually start with a few hugs and catch-ups with my old co-workers and these days, I often get to meet some new Instagram friends — which I love! I’m so thankful for the many years in “Room 3” (my work office/dressing room). After all, it was the starting point of this fun little blog.
This week, my stylist friends and I (our husbands are tagging along) are meeting up in sunny Arizona for some pool time, fashion talk, fun dinners, and of course, “cocktails in the cabana.” As you might imagine, there’s always a little discussion around what we’ll be wearing, and I thought it would be a great idea to share things we always recommend — because I’m certain we’ll end up with many of the same choices!
Today’s post is a list of the top 10 summer pieces everyone is loving. Many of them are best sellers, and I’m certain you’ll love them too. Between what’s selling in the dressing room and what’s selling online, these are the items we think are worth adding to your summer wardrobe. There’s everything from statement jewelry to the summer jeans everyone is wearing to the hot new trends. These are the pieces that will elevate all your outfits! Happy almost summer ☀️
#1 Polo Style Tops & Dresses

Polo style tops and dresses are the style to own this summer!
Polo tops: Love this Vince best-seller, this pretty blue one and this Rag & Bone style. For affordable choices, look at this one by Madewell
Polo dresses: Straight off the streets of Cannes, France, check out this Polo dress, this Veronica Beard and this one by Madewell
#2 Trending … Jorts
Jorts are the trending denim short style that is a little looser and a little longer … but nothing crazy, don’t worry! The best-selling AGOLDE Parker is always a great option. And this season, according to my sources on what’s selling in the dressing room, you should check out this pair by Madewell and this new Rag & Bone pair. All are super easy to wear, and ideal for warmer weather.
#3 Summer Dresses

It’s dress season, and right now, the options are endless! For fashion forward options, check out this one with the fringe detail, this cool drop waist style, and this bright colored silk one. If you’re looking for vacation dresses, my stylist friends and I agree that Farm Rio is the best source. We love this new one and this one too. See below for some others that caught my eye.
#4 Statement Jewelry
Think: the bigger, the better. Right now, everyone is talking about the brand Julietta — and look what I found for you!
#5 Summer Denim

We all love denim, any time of year! This summer, look for faded, fuller styles like this new one by Frame and this favorite Paige Anessa.
#6 How to Wear Jelly Shoes
Jelly shoes are everywhere, from designer styles like this pair to affordable ones like these. This is a fun summer trend to add!
#7 Midi Skirts

Skirts have been trending the past couple of seasons, and now with warm weather around the corner, all the fashion girls are going for longer midi style skirts. I highly recommend adding a simple white skirt like this breezy one by Paige to your wardrobe. For something a little more interesting, look at this Farm Rio one that I styled in this Vacation Capsule — so cute!
#8 Slim-profile Sneakers
Retro style sneakers are the shoe of choice this summer, and here are some that caught my eye
#9 Summery Tops

This time of year, pretty top options are endless. Find one you love and wear it with your favorite summer denim
#10 Raffia Everything!
The best thing about raffia is that it works with every single summer outfit — talk about a great investment
