If you’re thinking about trying new styles and trends, there’s no better season to experiment with than summer. From relaxed everyday wear to fun cool-girl accessories, these are the top 10 summer trends you’ll want in your shopping cart right now.
Bermuda Shorts
A comfortable, cool-girl statement piece, these pinstripe shorts are office-friendly and incredibly trendy. The longer cut of Bermuda shorts feels polished enough for work but relaxed for off-duty days. Style them with a button-down shirt and slides for daytime, or switch to a fitted top and heels for going out. This is also a surprisingly great piece for the transition to autumn, when paired with an oversized blazer or bomber jacket and tall boots. Edgy to the max.
Contemporary Boho
Romantic ruffles and neutral shades are defining this season’s elevated bohemian trend. Soft fabrics, layered silhouettes, and subtle patterns give this boho style a refined touch. It’s perfect for casual outings, weekend trips, or even summer events that call for a little flair. It’s especially fitting for the Euro-summers, reminiscent of a sunny afternoon in a French countryside chateau — so dreamy.
Neutrals & Soft Shades
We’re seeing lots of softer colors in the fashion sphere, including neutrals. From creamy whites to pale blue and gentle blush tones, muted colors are everywhere this season. These shades feel easy to mix and match and bring a fresh lightness to summer dressing.
Linens & Sheers
Per usual, linens are a popular choice for the warmer seasons. But a new surprise is the shifting trend for sheers, instead of mesh. Linen pieces keep things breathable and cool, from tailored trousers to flowing dresses. Meanwhile, sheer fabrics are popping up in tops, skirts, and cover-ups, adding a modern edge that’s subtle but eye-catching.
Capris
Pair these with some kitten heels and a pop-of-color halter top, and you’re ready to go out with the girls. Capris are making a comeback, bringing a bit of retro nostalgia while feeling current and fun. Try them in bright colors, playful prints, or laced hems for an easy way to Y2K-ify your summer outfits.
The Market Tote
Raffia bags are all the rage right now, the perfect balance of function and fashion in an accessory. A market tote holds all the essentials for errands, beach days, or shopping trips. The textured look of raffia gives even the simplest of outfits some stylish personality.
Pop-of-Color Sneakers
Comfy & cute, a favorite at AYS! Perfect for daily activities. Sneakers in bold shades like neon pink, bright green, or electric blue are everywhere this season. Wear them with shorts, dresses, denim, or trousers for a playful look that’s full of personality.
Flip Flops & Wedges
I know what you’re thinking… but check out these sandal wedges: so summer-y and tres chic.
Flip flops remain the go-to for the pool or beach or daytime exploration, but wedge sandals are stepping into everyday outfits too. They add a little height and dress up casual looks without sacrificing comfort. A favorite combination is the oversized denim capri with a fitted, flattering full-length camisole, paired with sandal wedges and an oversized bag. Trust me.
Flats
Any kind, but especially these crocheted flats. We’re obsessed. Crocheted flats and other textured styles bring a fresh twist to your summer footwear. They’re great for warm days when you want something easy and comfortable without giving up on style.
Casual Dresses
The ideal choice for a warm summer night.
A lightweight summer dress makes getting dressed simple and stylish. Go for simple cuts in cotton or linen for daytime, or choose flowing fabrics with ruffles or soft prints for evenings out. There’s something exciting about dressing for summer. From statement shorts to easy dresses, these trends will bring new life to your wardrobe and help you step into the season feeling confident and inspired.
