The Best Don’s Items to Buy in 2026

2. Henry Top

3. Alouette Skirt
Style Notes: Lace-trim skirts are enjoying a moment this summer, and certainly, Doane’s Elouette iteration is one of the most coveted styles in 2026. Soft peach and creamy ivory styles lend themselves well to a more plain-back type of dressing, but if you’re looking for something that adds just a touch more interest to an outfit, the aquamarine color is one to try this season.

4. Pascual Jacket
Style Notes: Barn jackets are back in 2026, as a more casual but less versatile alternative to the blazer or trench coat. Of course, the classic beige or mid-blue denim version of the Pascual jacket will never go out of style, but there’s also something about the expensive-looking burgundy iteration that’s appealing to me.

5. Passenger Top
Style Notes: The traveler top is another style from Doane that you’ve seen all over your Instagram feed throughout the warmer months. A far prettier option than a tank top on those hot summer days, this pretty blouse will definitely dress up your jeans, Bermuda shorts, and linen trousers.

Style Notes: A short-sleeved take on the Dear Jane blouse mentioned above, the June Top features the flattering scoop neckline and raglan sleeves expected from a beautiful boho blouse.
