I'm Predicting Free People's Next 26 Cult-Favorite Pieces

If you've been paying close attention to my stories, you'll know that I've previously shared my predictions for the next cult-favorite pieces at Madewell, Nordstrom, H&M, and Mango. We aim to please here at Who What Wear, so naturally, I've picked some of our readers' favorite brands for this series. The next crowd-favorite retailer on the docket? Free People.
I don't know about you, but when I think of Free People, I think of a breezy patterned "boho" dress—but I promise you that the brand has much more range than that. One of my favorites on this list: the oversized scrunchies available in a rainbow of different colors. Instagrammable yet functional, I have a feeling the scrunchies will be a great mood-boosting purchase for more than a few of you. Scroll down to shop the pieces I think will become the most popular items at Free People.
Like I've said before, a casual midi dress is the most underrated basic of summer.
I personally love wearing slip dresses with long cardigans.
Next, the #1 dress trend on Amazon—and 7 ways to wear it.
