A Look Into This Summer’s Fashion Trends

0. Sheer Clothing

With icons like Doja Cat, Kristen Stewart, and Jenna Ortega donning sheer pieces on the red carpet, I anticipate a rise in the style this summer. Pair sheer items over opaque ones to create a unique contrast or (if you’re feeling daring) wear it on its own.

2. Mermaidcore

The release of Disney’s live-action “The Little Mermaid” in May is popularizing aesthetics reminiscent of oceanic royalty. Runways have been full of wavy ruffles, sequins, and bright shades of blue and purple, and we predict the shelves will be too.

4. Puffer Slides

Convenient for a hot, active summer, slides are coming back into the light — with a twist. We are seeing an increase in high-heeled, voluminous slides that look like the trending Nike puffer coats in the form of footwear. Designers like Fendi and Proenza Schouler included these looks on their runways this year, demonstrating their versatility paire with many items of clothing.

6. Crochet

“Grandma sweater” is no longer an insult! The trend that has taken social media by storm is now becoming a staple in students’ wardrobes everywhere. Cardigans, tank tops, dresses, swimsuits — if you can name it, there’s probably a crochet version of it.

8. Adidas Sambas

While these vintage black and white shoes have been around for many years, they have just recently taken off among celebrities and social media. Celebrities such as Kendall Jenner, Bella Hadid, and Tyler the Creator have been seen wearing them out in public. While the shoes have a basic color scheme, many are attracted to its minimalism.

00. Chic Athleisure

Athleisure-wear is no longer just for the gym. As seen on celebrities such as Bella Hadid, wearing athleisure is now an essential part of an everyday wardrobe. Instead of typical leggings and tank tops, more chic athleisure such as pleated tennis skirts, athletic bodysuits, and flared leggings are casual, comfortable, and durable staples for the summer season. They are also functional for any summer activity, from a day in the city with friends to a long hike.

1. Lavendar

After Taylor Swift’s new hit “Lavender Haze” and a societal push for calmer tones in a bustling world, this light shade of purple has been on the rise. In fact, trendcaster WGSN predicts that lavender will be the color of the year, so look out for an additional pop of color to trending designs this summer.

3. Bows

With the rise of ballet and coquette aesthetics over the past few years, it is finally time to bring back bows. Many designers like Simone Rocha and Acne Studios have bedazzled their pieces with bows. In fact, I recently bought a tank top with a little bow on the neckline. What a great way to tie up the school year!.

5. Festival Fashion

Masqueraders sporting winged carnival costumes ride down the street on mobile stages. Wearing crowns designed to resemble elegant heaps of seaweed and “mesh joggers with a black netted jacket with blue sequin fringe,” The Lost Tribe is one of many carnival troupes in the Caribbean. Costuming is the foundation for most carnivals. Beyond that, this modest practice has evolved into an intriguing custom reflecting participants’ home and culture.

7. Linen

Linen button-ups, shorts, pants, and sets, have been in high demand for the past few summers and there is no doubt they will make their return this summer. Linen is perfect to dress up or down for any occasion and makes for a classy and effortless beach outfit. More affordable brands have been releasing linen clothing in their summer collection to make it more accessible; luxury brands still maintain linen pieces in their collections as well.

09. Cargo Pockets

From dresses and skirts to shorts and jeans, cargo pockets have become an increasingly popular trend seen on celebrities such as Hailey Bieber and Dua Lipa. Although cargo pants began with stiff, camouflage printed fabric, many well-known brands and designers have been updating the pant, making it both more casual and comfortable. No longer a cliche

01. Raffia Bags

Totes, purses, and bags made of straw are going to be everywhere this summer. Last year, the Prada raffia tote bag took the bag world by storm. This year, even more designers are creating different styles of bags all made of the raffia material. Now, more affordable brands like COS and Banana Republic are also incorporating raffia bags into their summer collection so you can add this beachy staple to your closet.
