Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one editor, staffer, or influencer shares their top 30 must-haves or current wish-list items.
We're about a month out from the official start of summer, and truthfully, I'm kind of dreading it for certain reasons. I live in the South, and the sun, heat, and humidity get old pretty quickly. On the bright side, something I love about summer is shopping for it. I'm always happy to seize the opportunity to have a bit more fun with my wardrobe, and it's also when some of my favorite types of beauty products are released. Think glowy cream blushes, bronzers, lip glosses, sunscreens, and air-dry hair products.
There's no reason for my summer shopping list to live in a vacuum, so I'm sharing it with you so we can all shop together. With that, scroll on for all of the fashion and beauty finds I have my eye on for summer 2025.
Fashion
Alert! Nordstrom is the only place that's selling these in red.
Two words: summer jeans.
The fact that I would've worn this tee 30 years ago and today is amusing to me.
I'll always love a summery baseball cap.
I wore the black version of this top constantly last summer, and I think the new gingham one will come equally in handy.
For wearing with the aforementioned jellies.
I own this dress in a different floral print, and she's beautiful.
I guess we're all about to own yet another pair of Birkenstocks.
My mission this summer is to overhaul my pajama collection, starting with these.
Is there anyone among us who doesn't need this?
Aside from the perfect price, I love the A-line shape of these shorts.
I'm reintroducing wire-frame sunglasses into my life, starting with these.
I couldn't imagine a prettier sports bra than this.
Run and buy these before everyone else does.
Summer is the season for fun jewelry.
Beauty
I couldn't think of anything more glorious for summer than cryotoning pods.
These may look a bit shocking in the pan, but trust me—the combo looks beautiful on so many skin tones.
My hands were a mess post-winter, but this life-changing serum resurrected them. I'll be ordering a new jar from Violet Grey as soon as it runs out.
I ordered the mini size of this initially, but I'm so obsessed with it that the full size will be in my next Sephora order.
Everyone's talking about this new sunscreen—including me. It spreads beautifully.
I was using this a few years ago and was recently reminded of how wildly effective it is. There's truly nothing else like it.
I hate most SPF lip products, but this one is excellent.
Yes, it's an investment, but the buzz about this gentle exfoliating product (and this brand, in general) is impossible to ignore.
This new shade of Haus Labs' viral blush stick is the perfect way to fake a rosy glow from a tan.
I'm skipping the PRP treatments and ordering this raved-about serum.
Here's another product I tried in the smaller size and immediately wanted in the full size. It's transformed my hair.
I love this brand's lip stains, and I'm sure I'll love these jelly lipsticks too.
For all of your summer travel needs.
Intrigued and buying immediately.
I honestly hate most body moisturizers, but I'm ready to see what all the fuss is about.
