Ahhh Summer, just around the corner. The weather’s getting warmer and the clothing is getting lighter. Sunday, June 20th is the first day of Summer. This week’s blog post is dedicated to the trends. What you’ll be seeing and wearing for Summer 2021.
Short Sets: My favorite, most worn of the trends. They’re easy to throw on AND they’re practical (especially if you have a little one). Throw this TARGET SHORT SLEEVE SET (shop the top HERE and bottoms HERE) on when you’re heading to brunch with friends. This comfy, cozy FREE PEOPLE SET comes in several different colors and is great for a lazy Sunday. This TIE DYE SET from THE MINT JULEP BOUTIQUE is on sale and I can not believe it’s still in stock! Keep the rest of the look casual and minimal. Try these AE CROCHET SLIP ON SANDALS to add another Summer trend to the look.
Crochet: It looks like this trend is back for Summer 2021! It’s so versatile, relaxed and easy. You can wear this style with any basic that’s already in your closet. It’s a fun take on a classic 1970’s trend. The crochet look adds dimension to your outfit, with the crochet piece being the center of attention, you can keep the rest of the outfit minimal. Personally, I love this trend and plan on picking up more crochet pieces for my closet. Give this crochet top from Ulla Johnson a try. Wear your crochet pieces with straight hair parted to the middle and minimal jewelry (like these gold hoops) and a white jean or short (like the ones I’m wearing above from Abercrombie). Pair the outfit with the simple, classic Oran Hermés sandal (I found some great dupes at DSW) and you’re all set. Want in on this trend for the summer? Shop my picks below!
Paperbag Shorts: Fun and flattering. I’ve been seeing this style short everywhere this year! the gathered pleats and high waist makes these shorts great for everyone. Most shorts I’ve seen also give a bit more leg room which means they’re flattering around the thigh area as well. When I tell you I’ve had my eye on these ABERCROMBIE PAPERBAG SHORTS for months, I’m not lying lol. You can try these FOREVER21 BEIGE CUFFED SHORTS option for $14.99. The belt on THESE FROM BLANKNYC makes for a cute take on the trend. Throw your hair in a pony, put on some stud earrings and pair these shorts with your favorite body suit (to show off the waistline of the shorts). Dress the look up with a pair of wedge sandals and you’re good to go<3. You can shop the trend below!
Straw/Rattan Bag: The bag of the summer! A quintessential piece for your next beach vacation. I did not have to look far during my search for these bags because they are everywhere this year! You can go for the round over the shoulder style or search for a straw tote. This TOP HANDLE BAG from Cult Gaia continues to sell out. Not ready to commit to the trend? Try it out with this WOVEN CROSSBODY BAG from Forever21 for $24.99. Leaving my woven basket bag picks below!
Nap Dress: Perhaps this trend came from being stuck in our homes due to the pandemic or possibly from the popular Netflix series Bridgerton? No matter the influence, this flattering style is great for the warmer summer months. Throw it on and head out or literally take a nap on the couch in this style dress, you decide. You can shop the look on the left on AMAZON or the dress on the right by VERO MODA FROM NORDSTROM on sale from $69 to $28.97. I am wearing my usual size (size medium) and it is soo comfy – literally feels like I am wearing a quilt! Baguette Bag: This trend makes me oh so happy! If you took one look in my teenage closet in the 90’s, you would see these bags lining the shelf. Personally, I loveee when trends come back. I’m seeing these cute, shoulder bags at some of my favorite retailers! I’ve linked some of my favorites below (like this BRIGHT PINK STYLE FROM SHEIN) – check them out!
Retro Swimwear: Think high waisted, ruffles, underwire and most importantly FLATTERING. This style swimsuit covers in all the right places keeping you comfortable and confident for your days at the beach. Don’t overthink this trend too much. It’s meant to be fun so have fun with it! Pick up some retro floral suits for Summer 2021 (like this WIDE STRAP ONE PIECE FROM ABERCROMBIE). This SHEIN SUIT is a copy of a Tory Burch swimsuit from last year for only $13. You can find the one I’m wearing above on AMAZON. This suit is true to size and I’m wearing a medium. Check out my other retro swim picks below!
Lavender: Before we get into the color of the season, full disclosure, I am NOT recommending this Shacket! Number one, you do not need one for the warm Summer months, but more importantly, it’s sooo itchy and I could not wait to take it off! With that being said, the color is beautiful and I am seeing this lavender shade everywhere. These TARGET CROSSBAND SANDALS were one of my most clicked a few weeks ago and now come in this beautiful shade. Linking my lavender picks below <3.
Rattan / Natural Belts: Pair these belts with your woven rattan bag to complete your Summer look. Wear this belt with a maxi dress to give a bit more shape at the waist! The natural woven look adds texture and dimension to any outfit and just screams Summer. The belt in the picture above is from AMAZON, but I’m linking several more for this season below!
Wide Leg Patterned Trousers: Ok, this is not a new trend, but I had to include this style of patterned pants in my Summer trends. Every year, I find myself pulling out several pairs of pants this style. They’re light and lose and take up minimal room in your suitcase! This pair above is from AMAZON. Pair the loose fit of the pants with a tighter shirt or bodysuit. You can also wear a lose fit top and tuck it into the pants to give you some shape. Want more of this boho trend?! Shop my look and more below!
Well, there ya go. You’re all set for Summer! I hope you enjoy the trends this season. Have fun with your clothing! Have a favorite?! Let me know in the comments :).
