The Shopping Experts at Rank & Style Share the Hottest Products of Summer 2023
The Texas-Based Tech Brand Pinpoints the Season's Trendiest Online Searches
BY Caitlin Clark // 06.15.23When the Austin trio of Jamie Chandlee, Beth Zerdecki, and Dalton Young purchased New York City-based Rank & Style in 2016 and moved its operations to the capital city, they inherited a trusted proprietary algorithm that leveraged a variety of data sets to serve up the best, unbiased products you can buy online. Of course, seven years is a long time on the internet, so that algorithm has adapted and expanded during its time in Texas, factoring in things like industry recognition and social buzz in addition to reviews and best-sellers.
The product recommendations — which range from beauty and lifestyle goods to men’s and women’s apparel — have changed a good deal too.
“It’s been funny to watch the rise and fall of things like flat irons and curling wands,” Chandlee says. “We survey our users often on Instagram to check in on what they care about most in their research.”
For a sense of what’s currently topping Rank & Style’s streamlined shopping lists, PaperCity polled Chandlee, Zerdecki, and Young on the current search trends — and top product recommendations — of summer 2023.
