We recently made predictions about the biggest trends that will impact shopping, editorials, and red carpets for Fall 2026 after fashion month concludes, but now we have some shopping insights that will influence style for this summer’s holidays even sooner. Moda Operandi Editorial Director Andrea Whittle shares her expert opinion on the top trends in fashion and how they’re influencing retailers’ shopping this summer.
Moda Operandi launched its latest Club Moda La Isla collection, featuring an edit of exclusive pieces ranging from escapist prints to bejeweled bags, and features new seasonal pieces arriving on the site daily. Whittle explained exactly which trends the retailer is betting big on for the holidays and shared an early look at what we can expect when wearing the style set. According to Net-a-Porter, there are five trends for summer 2026 that will shape holiday style in the coming months in interiors from Marseille to Saint-Tropez.
embellished mini bag
“These are such a fun alternative to your usual evening clutch. They match even the simplest dresses, and they look just as good with a silk dress as they do with a tank top and jeans. Definitely this season’s standout accessory.” — whittle

“The best, most versatile swim cover-up – and it’s so easy to add to a packed suitcase. Keep it long and loose with a knot at the hip, or fold it in half and wrap around your waist for a more miniskirt effect (or get Soleil Soleil’s petite shape, whatever works for you).” — whittle
