9 Outfits That Incorporate Summer’s Biggest Trends

Tie dye is everywhere this season, but it’s not all about psychedelia. Designers like Ganni have elevated the print with slinky silk materials and grown-up cuts that won’t make you feel like a Woodstock attendee. To get the look, reach for work-ready pieces like a sleek dress. Then pair it with modern accessories like sharp sunglasses and heavy metal bags.

Designers are using precious stones and coral beads to evoke summer vibes, but are less literal in their design. Layer these pieces with pearls and pair with a white blouse to keep it from looking like you just stepped off of the resort.

In the midst of summer it’s too hot to wear your hair in any other style than a ponytail. Refresh the classic look with a silk scarf. Go with a wide, long shape so it can drape backwards with ease.

Here’s a bright idea: try a technicolor short suit. It’s a step away from last season’s suiting set trend, but made for summer office dressing.

This outfit laughs in the face of summer’s number one enemy, your office’s AC. Store a plain gray blazer at your desk and pop it over any outfit: it’s an easy fix for when you want to wear a sleeveless dress to work.

We’ve discussed how milk maid dresses are trending, but the latest look is going deeper into the pastoral vibe. Gowns are cut in shapes with prints that are made for the French countryside. Style yours with an easy cardigan and your favorite basket bag.

We’re officially over skinny sunglasses, there we said it. Swap them out for the new it-sunglasses, oversized tinted shades. They’ll boost your simplest t-shirt and jeans outfit in one fell swoop.

Leopard print is forever, but zebra, tiger and even cow-hide prints are now. Experiment with these animalistic styles and don’t shy away from color. Embrace the print by clashing them with bold, saturated hues.
