Featuring some of the most influential Black fashion designers and style mavens of today, Target’s Future Collective lines are always highly anticipated—no matter the name attached. On May 20, 2024, fashion and style influencer Jeneé Naylor became the latest person to have her name etched in the special collection’s “Hall of Fame.” And on June 23, 2024, she dropped a second capsule just in time for all of your summer fun.
The Future Collective brand debuted in September 2022 with Kahlana Barfield Brown, a Howard University alum and former InStyle beauty director turned style expert. The collection ran through January 2023 and was quickly followed by Gabriella Karefa-Johnson’s capsule soon after. Since then there have been four rollouts, with Naylor’s launch becoming the sixth.
Inspired by the influencer’s global travels and front-row seats at some of the world’s top runway shows, this new line will truly have folks thinking you booked a flight overseas for your outfit. But luckily, you can just head to your local Target or even target.com to make a fashion statement.
From summer dresses for that rooftop date night or weekend brunch to more tailored silhouettes when you want to head straight from the office to the weekly happy hour, here are the trendiest pieces from Jeneé Naylor’s Target Future Collective collection that you’ll want to add to your summer wardrobe.
A mini dress for romantic summer nights
Showing a little leg never hurt anyone. This mini is perfect for those rooftop date nights or even a dinner date with friends. Pair with a heeled sandal and a gold earring and you are set.
The perfect pool or beach cover-up
Knitted and crotchet styles are in this season, and Naylor certainly took notes with this dress. The perfect cover-up for the pool or beach, and you can also wear it as a dress with matching undergarments.
A matching set for those relaxed resort days
On vacation and need something comfortable to wear around your resort? That’s the beauty of a matching set. It takes the guessing out of styling, while still remaining trendy. Pair with your favorite jewelry, a flat sandal and a straw tote bag, and you’re sure to turn a few heads.
A night out at the museum
This maxi adds its own artistic element with the ring detail around the front of the dress. While you don’t need too many accessories for this, a patterned or colorful clutch and a heel will surely take the look to a new level.
A top to add to your staple pieces

Price: $28
You’ll get a lot of wear out of this peplum top as it can be worn with wide-leg trousers, like Naylor, or even denim for weekend errands and mall runs. It’ll easily become your go-to essential piece this summer, trust us.
