In & Out.

Jean Shorts
Brian Kaneda
Denim buyer for L.A. boutique Ron Herman

In: Demure denim; "Trouser-inspired shorts are casual and chic, not tarty and tawdry."

Barbecue
Bobby Flay
Restaurateur and star of three Food Network shows

In: Sugar--and spice; "Fruit-based glazes like spicy mango or ginger nectarine with chilis."

Out: Ketchup-style kids' stuff; "Sweet, gloppy sauces are out. People want more balanced flavor."

Ice Cream
Micheale Kester
Senior research technologist, Baskin-Robbins

In: Crunchy nostalgia; "Our Triple Play: caramel ice cream with popcorn, candied peanuts and pretzels."

Out: Cloyingly gooey; "In summer, people crave light and refreshing, not overly sweet, like honey."

Fragrances
Laura Kenney

Flowers
Saundra Parks
Florist and owner of New York City's The Daily Blossom

In: Statuesque; "Big, beautiful arrangements of hydrangea in tall vases with wild grasses."

Jewelry
RJ Graziano
Designer and owner of RJ Graziano in New York City

In: Light, bright and white; "We're having a '60s and '70s moment: white plastic, Lucite. It's hip, modern."

Summer Drinks
Willy Shine
Bar chef at New York City's B.E.D.

In: Natural ingredients; "Organic antioxidant fruits; natural sweeteners like guava honey and maple syrup."
