It’s officially April… which means summer is right around the corner. While we should be studying for finals, we would much rather be shopping for a new summer wardrobe. However, as we daydream about beach days and tanning by the pool, it’s important to stay up to date on summer’s newest trends. From dresses to accessories to shoes, the opportunities to integrate your personal style, while staying chic are endless.
Colorful Crotchet
The first trend to anticipate is colorful crotchet. While crotchet has been a summer staple for years, recent styles are incorporating vibrant colors. The different lengths and color options only increase the versatility of this trend. For example, this creative approach to classic crotchet can be worn to formal occasions, such as a beach dinner, or a shorter version can be simply worn as a beach coverup.

Summer Floral
The next trend taking the fashion world by storm is summer florals. This revitalized floral print is not only classy but also playful. Unlike traditional small floral prints, newer pieces feature a single, bold flower in warm tones such as oranges, reds and pinks. Whether on a maxi dress, mini dress or statement top, you can easily personalize it to your style. The burst of color and classic design are perfect for a fashionable and eye-catching summer look.

Statement Jewelry and Purses
A perfect outfit isn’t complete without trendy jewelry and accessories. Statement necklaces, especially those in gold, enhance tan skin and add an effortless element to the look. Popular statement necklaces right now feature geometric shapes and charms. Pairing these necklaces with unique earrings or delicate rings will elevate your outfit even further. Additionally, be sure to shop for stylish purses that complement simpler looks, as seen above.
Pastel Kitten Heels
As we continue to shop for the trendiest summer pieces, we can’t forget about shoes. With the rise of early Y2K fashion in recent years, kitten heels have been making a major comeback. However, for the summer, this trend is looking towards pastel colors, such as powder blue, blush pink and sage green. Additionally, the simplicity of the kitten heel style allows it to be paired with a variety of different looks. This summer, consider pairing them with mini dresses and skirts to add a stylish detail to your outfit.
