My Summer 2023 Fashion Wish List

23 standout summer clothes and accessories that I'm yearning for right now

As a regular admirer of fashion sites, many pieces make it onto my wish lists. I thought it would be fun to compile a selection of items, including high fashion, that I would love to have in my summer '23 wardrobe. As I love coloured clothing, for this summer, I really like the idea of combining vibrant colours with white or metallic accessories. White is a brighter summer option than black or brown and I love the idea of having accessories that pair beautifully with most outfits. I've managed to keep to 23 items even though, as a lover of fashion, my summer 2023 wish list could be never ending. The selection contains fun, uplifting summer hues, bold prints, #barbiecore, #metallic evening wear, #mermaidcore and a number of environmentally conscious materials:
