Wicker bags: They’re not just a summer fling. As the warm-weather season comes to a close, you’d normally start seeing fewer woven bags and more suede ones, but not this year. I have a strong feeling that picnic-like purses will continue to be popular well into fall—peaking on October 23, to be exact. That’s when Alexander Skarsgård and Olivia Colman‘s admittedly very strange new film, Wicker, comes out in theaters. The movie trailer officially has the entire internet talking—oh hi, Ikea!—so we figured we’d throw our (wicker) hats into the ring, too.
It’s Summer Outside, but Autumn in My Wish List—The Pre-Fall Pieces Our Editors are Bookmarking Before They Sell Out
Even the most summer-loving editors will agree, there’s a particular sweet spot in the fashion calendar that we all look forward to: that in-between moment when the weather is still warm, but the new season collections have started to arrive. Before you recoil at the thought of cable knit jumpers, pre-autumn dressing isn’t about committing to heavy layers just yet—instead, it’s about investing in versatile, luxury pieces that effortlessly bridge the gap between what you can wear now and later too.

Well, I decided I’m going to have a finger in both pies, thank you very much.
It’s Here: The Fall Sneaker Color Trend to Wear With the Legging Color Every It Girl Owns in 2026
In case you haven’t heard, Gigi Hadid and Bradley Cooper stepped out for a workout in Paris today wearing small gold bands on their ring fingers, but instead of adding to the speculation, I’m going to talk about Hadid’s legging outfit, as I made an interesting observation that speaks to what to look forward to this fall when it comes to legging-and-sneaker pairings.
It’s Here: The 2026 It-Girl Way to Wear Those Silky Pants Everyone Owns
I’ve been writing about celebrity style as a Who What Wear editor for a very long time (12 years to be exact), and I can say with confidence that the number of times Dakota Johnson has not looked cool over the years is zero. If you see her wearing a trend, she styled it in the coolest way possible—trust me. The latest example of this came a few days ago when Johnson was photographed in Los Angeles. The trend she chose to wear that day was a big one: silky pants. And the way she chose to style them felt completely fresh and modern, even though the trend has been around for a minute.
