shop talk is a biweekly column dedicated to exploring the latest styles and trends hitting the internet. We’ll be bringing you styles we love through new arrivals, trends that are gaining momentum, and pieces you’ll want to see before they sell out.
The impact of summer shopping is always different when the new items are so good. Between effortless linen sets, trend-forward sandals, elevated basics, and dresses that make your outfit feel instantly cooler, the Internet is brimming with warm-weather finds right now. Naturally, I spent hours scrolling through Free People, Levi’s®, Steve Madden, SSENSE, and more to really narrow down the standout items worth adding to your cart. Ahead, shop the latest summer finds—I have a feeling they won’t be in stock for long.
