I know fashion trends can seem hard to keep on top of—they change so quickly, and by the time you finally warm up to it and decide you want to participate, it’s out. 🤦‍♀️So I’m here to tell you five of my favorite fashion trends at the moment and why you should be wearing them this summer!

1. Wrap/Scarf Tops

This cute trend is super versatile—it can be worn in so many different ways, thus giving you endless styling possibilities! @fashioninflux has a really helpful Instagram Reel that teaches you some of the different ways to wear this top! Princess Polly or Rumours have some great options—whether you go for a neutral color or a fun pattern, this trend is perfect for the summer!

2. Florals

Florals? For spring? Groundbreaking. Well, what about florals for summer? It looks like this classic spring trend has staked a claim in the summer season as well! These dainty floral patterns look super cute on tank tops, dresses, and even swim suits! For Love & Lemons is always a go-to for anything floral!

3. Cardigan Sets

Any type of set is the perfect option for when you don’t know what to wear—they instantly make it look like you put a ton of thought into your outfit, even though the set basically did all the work for you! Cardigan sets are a cute, girly option to wear on those cooler summer nights! This set from Zara just screams summer!

4. Contrast Stitching/Exposed Seams

Contrast stitching or exposed seams are the perfect way to elevate a basic! These tops can easily be styled with denim, skirts, or a funky pair of pants like @bblyn did! Just throw one on and instantly look like a fashionista. The exact top @bblyn is wearing can be found at Princess Polly!

5. ’70s Vibes

’70s style is no longer just a Halloween costume! These groovy patterns and colors are super cute for summer and are really fun to style! Throw on a fun pair of boots or some colored sunglasses to complete the look! You can get @juliettesolis_’ exact top and skirt from Princess Polly!
