Summer 2026 Fashion Trends: What's Actually Selling with Gab Waller — Let's Get Dressed

Every summer, there's that one defining piece -- the Havaianas, the jelly sandals, the Miu Miu cowboy hat. But this year? It's quiet. Search "summer trends 2026" and the only thing coming up is the color blue. So I brought Gab Waller back for our annual Summer trends episode. Gab is one of the most in-demand personal shoppers in fashion. She shares what her clients are buying, what's selling out, and what's all over our feeds that no one is actually requesting.

Consider this your real-time summer 2026 trend report, straight from the woman sourcing it all.
