I'm a Fashion Editor—Here Are the Exact Swimsuits, Sandals, Jewelry, and More I'm Shopping First This Summer

With some upcoming summer work trips and planned vacation days, I’ve been thinking about the pieces that will land in my suitcase. I’ll be enjoying an East Coast summer with long weekends at spots along the coast, so fresh sunglasses and separates are top of mind for my duffle bag. I’m also considering other summer items that will be in rotation for days in New York City, where I live. I’m also in the early stages of planning a European vacation, so I have my eye on swimwear and other seasonal items fit for a getaway.

Many of the items topping my shopping list hit on the latest arrivals for summer, including pieces in azure blue. For other finds, I’ll be investing in classic heritage pieces I’ve had on my shopping list for years. After all, for my approach to wardrobe building, I consider the staying power of pieces first and foremost, and I’ve aligned that with my edit here.
