Shop Talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends to hit the internet. We’ll sift through new arrivals to bring you the styles we’re loving, the trends gaining momentum, and the pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
I have stored my sweaters and coats under my bed, and I won’t be pulling them out anytime soon. We’re in the home stretch of spring, so it’s time to start shopping for summer. I want track pants. I want jorts. I want dresses. I want the ease of summer dressing to replace the effort of layering. If you’re ready for that too, you need to see these new arrivals from Free People, Shopbop, Banana Republic, NET-A-PORTER, and more. I’ve rounded up over 30 summer sets, separates, and activewear looks I know you’ve been patiently waiting to wear. If you need a green light to shop for the upcoming season, this is it.
