Oh yes, it’s summertime. As the temperatures warm up, we are inspired by the season’s hottest trends. Whether it’s patterned party dresses or bold printed shorts, these summer fashion trends are guaranteed to have you looking hot this summer.

Casual days

Summer mornings are the best. Stand out by wearing nautical stripes and finish the look effortlessly with some classic summer accessories such as Wayfarer sunglasses and gladiators. If you are the low-profile type, you can still show off your shape in louche low-key separates. Wearing short shorts is a given but you don’t need to look like you just woke up. Add a feminine touch to the functional summer staple with some pretty pops of color and stylish extras. A patterned bright skirt paired with a classic black tank is a great option for those who are not comfortable mixing prints.

I also suggest that you try dresses that are easy to wear. A slip-on-and-go dress is a staple summer outfit. As for the colors, stick to pastels. They are perfectly suitable for summer, and pairs well with black shades.

Some people love denim. This classic fabric has been has been around for decades. It may sound outrageous but you can still wear denim during summertime. It all depends on how smart you update your denim wardrobe collection. Opt for chic skirts and tailored shirts. Thrown in some towering sandals in the mix and layered pendants for a casual, yet polished look.

Summer nights

We are not talking about night swimming and beach parties here (that will be our next category). I say summer nights that require you to still be in fashion and in season, at the same time. These are your evening get-togethers or club nights.

Be the star of the summer night with a crisp basic black and white dress with accessories and some sky-high platforms.

And speaking of black, who says you can’t wear leather in summer? Yes you can, Catwoman. You can strut your fancy leather shorts or mini and still be in the mood for some dancing. Pair this with a flowy white top and your favorite little black booties, and you’re ready to purr!

Lastly, I would definitely add a sexy standout skirt in your summer wardrobe list. Given that you cannot wear it to work, then wear it when you’re out with the girls.  Yes, please?

Fun in the sun

Now we move on to poolside fashion trends.

Cosmo Magazine writes:

“If you’re hitting up the beach or heading to the pool, slip into a sexy retro printed two-piece like T. Swift’s. Or, go for a solid, yet still bright suit like the singer’s friend is flaunting here. Either way, loud colors go hand in hand with summer and don’t just settle for black or neutral-toned swimwear.”

And must we not mention the beach uniform — the short shorts? Who wears short shorts? Well, just about every other girl in America, that’s who. Get in fashion by sporting short shorts and slip into a comfy tank top. From the beach to the street, sexy sandals and body-baring silhouettes are the joys of summer’s simplicity.

If you’re not going to the beach but will be out with the girls until sundown, cover up with a white chic blazer “beauty-punish” your feet with a studded strappy pumps.

Summer dressing is a burden if you let it; summer staples — shorts, stripes, sundresses and swishy skirts — can be the “entrée” in your summer outfit menu that makes you gag. But given a little update, it will prove its staying power and be your most favorite “dessert.”
