It's Time to Organize Your Closet and Vanity for Summer—28 New Finds to Swap In

Most Wanted is a weekly series in which one Who What Wear team member or friend of the brand will share the top 30 fashion and beauty finds on their current wish list.

Like clockwork, the summer sunshine is back—and so is my spark. My calendar is already looking pretty packed for the next few months, so I thought it was time to refresh my closet and vanity for the season ahead. Despite summer Fridays and leisurely beach days, summer is always so busy. I don't have time to go through my entire closet every time I get dressed or comb through all my lipstick shades to find the perfect one for the occasion. Plus, I don't have much room to spare in my NYC apartment, so I have to be extra picky with what I let in.

Below, I've curated a list of the beauty and fashion essentials I'm shopping this summer. From chic handbags and silk scrunchies to matching sets, keep scrolling for all the inspiration you need.
