As Who What Wear's associate shopping director, it's my job (and pleasure) to point you in the direction of all the chicest, of-the-moment pieces that are worthy of your wardrobe and wallet. Right about now, as we head into August, I'm looking at pieces that will add a fresh injection of energy to my looks and see me through the rest of the season and into early fall seamlessly.
Below, I'm sharing some of my favorite pieces that have grabbed my attention from Nordstrom, Zara, and J.Crew this week. From of-the-moment lace shorts to cool capris and statement long necklaces, these picks below will have you looking on-trend this season—and beyond.
Nordstrom
It's all about oversize striped tees and tops right now.
The perfect denim silhouette.
Polka-dot is the It print of summer 2025.
I own these in dark brown suede and can't wait to get them in black. They're so chic and comfortable.
Style with straight-leg jeans and kitten heels for your next evening out.
Capri pants are perfect for summer-to-fall dressing.
Carrie Bradshaw vibes.
Guaranteed you'll be wearing this all fall.
Style with its matching skirt below or a pair of jeans.
Fashion-forward.
Scoop this up while it's on sale.
The fashion set can't get enough of fish necklaces right now.
Style with heels and a graphic tee like Zoë Kravitz.
Get ahead for fall.
Lace-trimmed shorts are having a major moment. Style with an oversize tee throughout summer and a cozy sweater as we head into early fall.
I'll be wearing this to the office next week.
Zara
This blue polka-dot dress is at the top of my Zara cart!
These could pass for designer.
I recently tried this on, and it's even more gorgeous in person.
Guaranteed you'll be wearing this black lace skirt all the way up to the holiday season.
Give your Breton tee a welcome update.
So pretty.
Love adding a little sparkle to my everyday look.
The most popular jewelry trend of the season? Long pendant necklaces.
Timeless yet trend-forward.
Ooo, love the sporty detailing on this white tee.
Wear with its matching top while it's still sweltering out.
Ready for compliments in this Chloé-inspired jumpsuit?
Once the temps start to cool, this is the first jacket I'll be wearing.
J.Crew
One of my favorite pieces from the Rouje x J.Crew collab.
This color feels so fresh.
A chic cardi is exactly what you need from summer to fall.
A striped knit top you'll be reaching for on repeat.
Wear with jeans and dresses alike.
Definitely needing J.Crew's New Soleil Linen Pants in navy.
You won't regret this purchase.
The prettiest blouse for lazy summer days.
I'm surprised these haven't sold out yet.
Perfect for a back-to-work look.
This skirt is dreamy!
Love this color.
