Cheryl Shops

I usually roll out a series of spring trend posts, but considering we are technically a month away from the official start of summer, I decided to roll everything into one tightly edited trend report. Everything here is on my shopping list for this season, and instead of showing a variety of options for each category, I picked one really good hero product plus an under-$100 dupe since I know you love those. Here are the spring and summer 2026 trends I'm most excited about. 

Ever since I went to fashion school and learned about the Antwerp Six, Dries Van Noten has been one of my favorite designers. I've picked up a few of his pieces over the years, but lately I've been accelerating the pace with these pants that I wore most recently in Morocco—the brand is experiencing a renaissance under new designer Julian Klausner, and I am here for it. Like most thriving luxury brands nowadays, Dries Van Noten has a signature sneaker, and after first seeing them IRL in the New York store last year, I've been thinking about acquiring a pair ever since. When I came across a sale at Liberty of London last month, it was like a sign from the universe. I've been wearing the shoes pretty much nonstop since then, and the following are my honest and unfiltered thoughts.
