Best Clothes and Accessories to Shop in May 2021

I'm a Shopping Editor, and These Are the 17 Items on My Personal May Wish List

As POPSUGAR editors, we independently select and write about stuff we love and think you'll like too. If you buy a product we have recommended, we may receive affiliate commission, which in turn supports our work.

I like to think of May as a fashion fresh start — summer is right around the corner! In other words, an excuse to buy myself more stuff. Plus, I'm always searching for the hottest products out there as a shopping editor. This May, I'm loving statement dresses, playful swimsuits, bold handbags, and lightweight blouses.

If you have ever wondered what shopping editors add to their wish lists, now is the time to see for yourself. I curated a list of the coolest must haves out there. Prepare to sift through all the fresh releases.
