Temperatures are rising, and there are plenty of cute summer trends to try out. The following looks are some of the key fashion trends that promise to be hot, hot, hot this summer; try one or try them all (just not all at once, please!)
Fuchsia
Bold colors are huge for summer, but fuchsia seems to be the shade taking the season by storm. Be brave and don a bright fuchsia dress or pumps; if you prefer a more modest look, carry a cute clutch or wear a bright bangle in this season’s hottest shade. Whatever way you wear it, fuchsia is going to be everywhere as temperatures soar!
Polka Dots
There’s something about the whimsical polka dot that makes a woman feel equally girly and glam. This current spring trend will easily transition into your summer wardrobe and will be just as chic. Try a frilly polka dot blouse paired with your favorite pair of shorts or a skirt; don a pair of espadrilles and you’ll be made in the shade!
Sheer Fabrics
While sheer fabrics might look intimidating, this trend can be very alluring when done right. The trick to pulling off a sheer garment (be it a dress, a jacket or a blouse) is keeping it simple. A bit of skin strategically showing is fine; if we can see your bra, it’s too much! Keep the rest of your outfit minimal; a lot of accessories aren’t necessary and will simply detract from the elegance of the trend.
Bright Handbags
I love the crop of brightly colored handbags popping up; they are perfect for the summer season and add an instant dose of style to any outfit. To pull off this trend effectively, pair a bright bag with muted colors in the rest of your outfit to avoid clashing. I especially love this bright orange tote from Nordstrom; it’s the perfect summer color!
Bows
Nothing says “girly” quite like a cute bow, but the look now is anything but childish. Bows have been spotted on everything from shoes to handbags to blouses; pick a look you like and go with it! I recommend sticking with small bow details on tops unless you want to look overwhelmed. If you love big bows, play it up with a handbag like this one; a large bow on your go-to bag won’t overwhelm your features!
These 5 summer fashion trends promise to be a huge hit now that the temperatures are rising, and I’m excited to try all of them out. Which trend are you eager to try?
