I'm a Shopping Director and Live in Banana Republic—These Are the 40 Items I Think Are the Chicest Now

I highlight linen shirts weekly across the content I create at Who What Wear, and this under-$100 Banana Republic find is one I'm going to be screaming about for the next month. The silhouette is perfectly oversize without being too much, and it's actually made from 100% certified European linen. I adore this vibrant pink, but it comes in other colors as well.

Can you even with this adorable linen minidress? The details are particularly noteworthy. The empire waist and the pretty ties in the back give it an even more expensive-looking feel. It's one of those throw-on-and-go pieces—add sandals and a bag, and you're ready to go.

Crochet is trending hard this summer. This halter top is made with mesh-like stitches that essentially mimic the look of crochet for an even more wearable and comfortable feel. Style this tank with your favorite shorts, or commit to the look with the coordinating skirt.

Vacation vibes. I repeat, vacation vibes. Whether you're actually heading out or want the feel of a getaway in your hometown, this vibrant linen skirt with the matching peplum top is exactly what you need to embody that tropical vacay aesthetic.

Okay, I talk about linen pants just as much as I rave about linen shirts. (See above.) This drawstring style is equal parts easy and stylish. It's one of those silhouettes you'll reach for multiple times per week to wear with your favorite tops. I'm all about yellow, but yes, there are so many other colors available.

A vest is synonymous with chicness. Whenever someone asks me for shopping advice, I recommend some sort of gilet for a modern and relevant look. Go for the vest alone or opt for the coordinating shorts for a sleek, monochromatic look this summer.

In the market for great high-rise shorts? Here you go. This style comes in both the cream and brown. I paired them with this stunning high-low open-back tank to showcase how to dress up the shorts, but you could obviously style them with a tank or tee to keep it simple.

This is the suit I'm wearing above. I actually did an unboxing video of this piece on my socials, and it hit. The color is divine, and the cut is forward and striking. I paired it with the ruched loafers I won't shut up about because they look designer and are wildly comfortable.

I own these jeans and get compliments on them regularly. They look and feel high-end. I adore the white as an alternative to regular blue jeans for summer. Styling them with a lightweight roll-neck sweater and a cool belt is fresh and fashionable.

Keep it comfy and cool with this terry polo. As you can see from many of the picks above, I'm all about a matching set, so the coordinating shorts are where it's at. Also, can we please take a moment for the shoes and bag here? Bye.
