No matter what you have planned for this summer, you’ll want to add some key pieces to your wardrobe. This guide to the hottest summer colors and prints as well as popular clothing items will have you looking forward to warm sunny days and long summer nights.
Summer-Ready Prints
Liven up your look with one of this summer’s hottest trends by choosing a piece in a popular print. You can’t go wrong with stripes, a classic that’s at the top of trend lists this season.
Florals, especially ditsy florals, are another surefire pick. You’ll also want to add some tie-dye to your rotation to stay on trend this season. With a shirt or shorts in this fun, summery design, you’ll show off your current sense of style wherever you go.
Of-the-Moment Colors
In the mood for a solid color instead? You’ll have plenty of trendy hues to choose from. Whether you want to go bold or add a touch of subtle sophistication to your ensemble, this season boasts an array of shades that scream summer style.
From coral to yellow to soft pastels, there’s a color palette to suit anyone’s taste. Mix and match top summer colors, or let one color do the talking for your look by highlighting with a neutral hue like gray or tan.
Tops and Bottoms That Bring the Drama
Drama in the best sense, of course! This summer’s trends mean adding the right proportions to your outfits. Start with your tops, where puff sleeves reign supreme.
You’ll find short-sleeve and long-sleeve tops in all the best summer colors and prints, and you can go as subtle or exaggerated as you want. Balance things out with a sleek solid color on the bottom, then take on all your summer plans in style.
You can also look to pants for a striking silhouette. Wide-leg pants are back and better than ever, and the best part? You can wear wide-leg styles on any summer day.
They’re so easy to dress up or down with a quick change of your shirt. They’re also ultra-flattering, and likely more comfortable than those ubiquitous skinny jeans of years past. It’s no wonder wide-leg pants are having their moment this summer.
Rompers, Jumpsuits, and Overalls
If you’re looking to take the guesswork out of getting dressed up and ready to go, this summer’s one-piece styles make putting together chic ensembles easier than ever.
These magical articles of clothing are a complete outfit in one easy step, so you can save more time for enjoying the weather — or finding the perfect shoes and accessories to complete the picture!
So, how do you know which one is right for you? Keep in mind that rompers have bottoms like shorts, and jumpsuits offer fuller coverage with long or cropped legs.
You’ll typically layer overalls over a top, offering more opportunities to customize your outfit. With a variety of all three trendy pieces available, you can easily find a go-to summer item with the coverage that keeps you comfortable.
Knowing the women’s summer fashion trends poised to become popular this year can help you add new life to your summer wardrobe. Have fun mixing and matching aspects of different trends to create outfits that fit your style.
