Especially if you live on the Gulf Coast, summertime is the best time. We’re enjoying the warm sun, sandy beaches, cold drinks and more.
No one wants to wear heavy, uncomfortable clothing during the hottest months of the year, so here’s a few summer trends you’re sure to love during this sweltering season.
TUNIC DRESSES
Want a simple, stylish summertime dress that you’ll reach for repeatedly? Tunic dresses are in this year.
They typically are flowy, allowing for lots of versatility in how you style them. For instance, you can wear this sweet, breezy Free People Jacquelyn Tunic as a coverup, top or dress. It’s truly the best thing you can have in your closet this summer.
Another adorable option is the Shelbie Tiered Mini Dress by Anthropologie which is perfect to throw on and wear anywhere.
CROCHET
This trend truly has taken off. I love crochet and knit pieces because they’re usually open-stitch construction or even made with a cotton blend to provide a much-needed cooling effect. Let yourself feel free while you wear this trend. It’s the perfect addition to your collection of summer staples.
Just like a tunic dress, you can throw crochet or knit items on top of your swimsuit or wear them on their own. The Rhea Open-Stitch Mini Dress by Camila Coelho screams summertime fun. It’s colorful and easy to wear however and wherever you like.
This olive-colored Suzanne Cotton Sweater Tank from Reformation is ideal for a summer date night. Pair it with linen pants and a sleek sandal – perfect.
PUFF SHOES
A blast from the past is here to influence the future.
Slide-on puff’ shoes are having a moment, so take advantage of this quirky, comfy trend – and don’t hesitate to give yourself some extra height with a platform. Be careful if you have a wider foot, as the straps can be tight.
The Farm Rio Banana Bossa Puffy Platform Sandals are arguably the most stylish, comfortable shoes of the season, with their fun, colorful print and thick, puffy straps.
I’m also a fan of Free People’s Fairmount Flared Footbed Sandals. This shoe style is sure to turn heads and amp up any outfit.
