Now that we are officially over the dull, gloomy winters, it’s time to hunt for the cutest summer outfits. The bright sun and blue skies call for pastel hues and warm colors. From sleek handbags to midriff flossing, the fashion industry is giving us some summer clothing goals.
In this article, we have gathered some of the cutest summer clothing trends right from the runways. Whether you plan to go on a date night or spend a week on the beach, these ten summer fashion trends have got you covered.
1. Midriff Flossing
Super strappy silhouettes have been trending on the runways, and influencers quickly picked up this trend. The straps can be extended from your bottom or top wear. You can buy either a super strappy Rowan top or a detailed strap skirt to expose your midriff most classically.
Instagram has been going crazy over this trend. The strappy detailing on plain pieces adds something extra and makes them look chic in no time. If you want the strappy detailing on a skirt, opt for a satin finish to enhance the classic vibe. You can wear this look to a beach, a date night, or casual dining with your friends and family.
2. Bralettes
This look comes in handy when the sun is all over the place, and you can’t stop sweating. If you feel romantic and chic, opt for a satin bralette with chunky earrings and a classic watch. If you plan an outfit for the beach, pair a floral bralette with your skirts or jeans.
For a casual day out with your friends, wear a bralette with a layered necklace and headscarves. You can also throw an oversized summer blazer or shrug if you are not comfortable wearing a bralette outside.
3. Halter Neck Tops
The ’90s Halter neck trend is coming back in a full-fledged form, and it’s here to stay. Show off your clavicles and look ultra cute in these halter neck tops. You can also opt for halter neck wrap tops to look like a runway model.
Pair these tops with your favorite pair of jeans and statement earrings. Complete the look with a bold colored or neutral sandal to create a breezy and cute summer look.
If you plan for a day event or something casual, opt for the classic black or pastel hues. However, if you have a party invitation or dinner date, a metallic wrap halter top will be your cutest pick. You can also combine a halter neckline with strappy details to bring out your inner fashionista.
4. Side Cutouts
Bless the runways for bringing this trend into our lives. A little cut out around the torso can change the look of the simplest outfits. Not only is this trend utterly cute, but it is also ideal for the summers.
The cutouts will allow the cool breeze to rub against your skin when the sun is drowning you in its warmth. You can either opt for a side-cut-out dress or top.
If you want to look like a Victorian model, opt for a white bodycon dress with side cutouts. However, if you want a cute yet simple summer outfit, opt for a pretty yellow or ocean green shade dress with side cutouts.
5. Pastel Hues
Summers are all about a pop of color against the bright blue sky. Pastel shades have been trending since 2020, and we can’t get over it soon. Sorbet-inspired hues are ideal for the summers and suit a wide range of skin tones.
Choose an oversized mint green t-shirt or a soft lavender crop top to look picture perfect without putting in much effort. These soft, buttery hues will elevate your aesthetics and blend in with most outfits.
6. Oversized Summer Coats
Who said coats are meant only for winters? Create a long line and sleek silhouette with oversized summer jackets. Runway models have been bringing the ’80s trend of oversized boyfriend coats back, and people seem to love it.
You can either opt for a simple pastel shade oversized coat or a summer blazer with shoulder pads. Clinch the coat in your waist to create an impression of elongated legs. Rock this ’80s look with leather shorts or a pair of your favorite straight-legged trousers.
You can sport a bralette underneath or opt for a casual shirt or top. You can dress up or down this look for an effortlessly cute and chic aesthetic. Opt for colors like charcoal, powder blue, or neutrals to bring out the summer vibes.
Style them right with a few added accessories, and oversized summer coats can also help you conjure up a great look for Halloween come fall.
