Yay! It is the first day of summer! And that means grilling out, sun, beach trips, tan lines and late nights. Despite the fact that NC summers are SO humid - it is still one of my fave seasons! Summertime to me means vacationing and that consists of easy outfits to throw on and cute sandals.
Today, I am summing up a few summer trends I think you can NOT live without this summer:
1. Graphic Tees: A good cotton t-shirt is a staple for summer (or maybe anytime), But when it is so HOT out cotton is the best breathable fabric to wear. However, why not up it up a notch and wear a vintage inspired tee?! Ive been seeing a lot of mixing of textures by adding printed skirts with a cool graphic shirt. Bring back the 70’s! I love the look by adding a little touch of western inspo with studded mules.
2. Fruit themed printed dresses: lemons, pears and palm tree prints are adorbs for summer vacations. Oversized palm leaves are everything this summer!
3. Espadrilles: a flirty heeled wedge is a go-to for the summer season! So perf with Bermuda shorts, jean skirts and flow-y dresses. I personally was never a fan of this look, but this years espadrilles are really cute. 🖤
4. One-Piece Bikini: I am loving the new take on a one piece! Who’s with me?! I love the added belt and peek-a-boo key holes to them - edgy!
5. Straw bags: I feel everyone needs a good summer bag and a straw bag makes a statement. Buy one that is universal that can be used day to night and be brought to the beach to carry your essentials in.
6. Cutout dresses: a cute tie front dress is very 50’s. I like a white linen one that will bring you through the summer and into the fall with a jean jacket. (check out my post about How-to Style a White Linen Dress).
7. Jeans: cropped ripped jeans are always a good staple for anytime of the year. I recently decided to cut my own jeans to make a raw edge because it has been hard for me to find some that fit my petite height. I am impressed with how they came out! Linked some jeans below I have been coveting.
