These 8 Cool Fashion Items Are the Moment

There are constantly new products from fashion brands landing on the market and I keep a close eye on all of the new drops. While there are plenty of noteworthy items that end up in my personal shopping cart, there are a handful at any given time that are unequivocally the moment—aka, season-defining pieces that have reached must-buy status amongst the coolest fashion insiders. So, which fashion items are the moment right now?

From the buzziest designer items everyone is trying to get their hands on (and are probably already close to selling out) to the cool affordable finds that have earned the fashion set’s stamp of approval, there are some particularly noteworthy pieces you’ll want to bookmark right now. Ahead, I’m highlighting the fashion finds that deserve a place at the top of your shopping list. Here are the key buys that made the cut.

Christopher Esber is the king of cool and the designs somehow get better and better each season. For summer, the brand’s sexy cutout dresses are in huge demand, so if you’re looking for a new summer dress, these are definitely investment-worthy.

The throwback sneaker trend isn’t slowing down any time soon. The latest pair you’ll want to get your hands on? Adidas Samba sneakers, which we’re seeing the fashion set pair with everything from slip dresses to jeans.

Yet another cult shoe—this time around, the Cagole from Balenciaga. The motorcycle-inspired pieces pay homage to the iconic City Bag, showcasing the same grommets are tassels you’ll find on the early aughts piece. The knee-high boots are sold out practically everywhere and are carving themselves out to be one of the biggest items for summer, but the ankle boots and heels are also in huge demand.

The ’90s resurgence has arrived and Zara is really nailing it with their take on styles from the decade. Specifically, this strapless dress is having a moment and keeps selling out, so I’d suggest snagging it if you can find it in your size.

With the LVMH Prize under its belt, Nensi Dojaka is the brand to watch and fashion people can’t get enough. No one has mastered the barely-there aesthetic better and the brand’s signature super strappy pieces are hot ticket items.

With fans including Kendall Jenner and Hailey Bieber, it’s safe to say that Emi Jay’s clips have a cult following. Further evidence? The brand is soon launching a collaboration with Matilda Djerf that is bound to sell out.

Crochet is one of the biggest trends for summer and The Garment’s beautiful designs are standing out as must-buy pieces. If you’re looking for the coolest thing to layer over summer swimwear, this is it.

The F/W 22 collections were steeped in angsty punk and we’re already starting to see that play out in the fashion space. Specifically at Khaite, with the brand’s stunning studded belts that are starting to sell out everywhere.
