7 Summer Trends To Add To Your Mood Board

Bermuda Shorts

These shorts aren't your typical grade-school Bermuda styles. From knee-length tailored shorts to relaxed jorts, they offer ideal options for a comfortable and attention-grabbing summer look. In the spring/summer of '24, suit separates advocate for incorporating shorts into professional settings. Pair longer suit shorts with a coordinating jacket or a simple long-sleeve tee, or style jorts with a crop top and kitten heels for a trendy ensemble.

Dainty Dressing

Soft, flowing details take center stage in numerous silhouettes this season. From the silky, '90s-inspired separates and delicate ballet flats featured in Buci’s spring/summer collection to the extended, slender bow accents, the balletcore trend merges with a charmingly flirtatious aesthetic for a summer filled with cuteness. Anticipate an abundance of delicate dressing this season, including lettuce hems, minimalist sandals, and understated bustier styles.

Straw Mania

While Bottega Veneta's bold raffia pom-pom dress may not be the most practical choice, this trend of texture-forward fashion is making waves in various forms this summer. Consider accessories like bags, heels, and eye-catching fringe details to capture beachy vibes throughout the season. It's clear we're venturing far from ordinary styles this summer.

Off-Shoulder Styles

When the sun's out, it's time to show off those shoulders. This elegant and airy style will refresh your summer wardrobe with a playful touch. Choose a midi dress that highlights the shoulders for an upcoming wedding, or opt for an off-the-shoulder blouse for your next evening out.

Motifs

Embrace your playful side with object motifs such as embroidered butterflies and flower-shaped appliqués. Whether you go bold with a quirky heart-shaped top or opt for smaller statements like hair clips or pendants, these motifs add a charming touch to any outfit.

Flirty Skirts

This summer, skirts are taking the spotlight. Mini skirts (including micro-minis) are making a strong comeback, while prairie-style midis remain as versatile as ever. There's a wide array of styles to choose from, including bubble skirts, tiered midis, and classic tennis skirts. Best of all, you can effortlessly style any silhouette with a simple tee for a chic and ready-to-go look.

Sheer Separates

Lightweight, tissue-thin fabrics are essential once the hot weather arrives. Sheer separates can effortlessly add a playful element to any outfit when the occasion demands it. For a bold statement, whether it's for a festival ensemble or a night out, consider layering a sheer piece over your most stylish intimates or swimsuit. If full transparency isn't your preference, opt to layer a flowing dress over a sporty unitard or a sheer skirt over shorts for a chic compromise.
