Unlike my fellow Who What Wear editors, Massachusetts is my home base. While I’m well-versed in trends from across the globe and incorporate them into my wardrobe, the Boston fashion scene is undoubtedly a strong influence. In that spirit, I thought it’d be fun to round up and share everything chic I have my eye on for summer 2026. Naturally, I turned to my favorite retailers that carry my top picks of the moment—Nordstrom, Revolve, J.Crew, and Zara, to name a few.
Below, you can check out and shop my heavily curated list of summer fashion finds that are worthy of your attention right now. I’ve included a selection of standout jeans, skirts, shorts, pants, dresses, sandals, sneakers, bags, jackets, and more. There’s a mix of classic items and trendier pieces, and effortless, comfortable, and rich-looking vibes are always the goal. Enjoy!
