25 Items a Celebrity Stylist Thinks Are Worth Buying for Summer

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 25 finds on their current wish list.

From our favorite sandal brands to our go-to basics to the affordable dresses we currently have our eyes on, our editorial team has been sharing tons of great items to consider for your summer wardrobe. To make sure we’re not biased, we like to also tap other experts for their trend advice and shopping picks, so this week we reached out to celebrity stylist and fashion consultant Cat Pope to find out what she thinks is worth purchasing this summer. “My personal approach will be to support smaller businesses wherever possible and champion those that are responsible in their production and sourcing,” she says. And lucky for you (and us!) she agreed to share her exact favorites, along with her expert styling tips. Behold the 25 items she’s betting big on for summer.

A fresh and fun take on a classic. It’s perfect for work or play.”

Jennifer Behr Dawn Bobby Pin Set ($96)
