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.
I have my sweaters and coats stored under my bed, and I won’t be taking them out any time soon. We’re in the home phase of spring, so it’s time to start shopping for summer. I want track pants. I want jorts. I want clothes. I want the ease of summer dressing instead of the effort of layering. If you’re up for it too, you’ve got to check out these new arrivals from Free People, Shopbop, Banana Republic, Net-a-Porter, and more. I’ve collected over 30 summer sets, separates, and activewear looks I know you’ve been patiently waiting to wear. If you needed a green light to shop for the upcoming season, this is it.
