1. Large Claw Clips
Move over scrunchies—large claw clips are making a comeback. While scrunchies remain a staple, claw clips are bringing back nostalgia and memories from childhood. As sunny days become more frequent, we all want a stylish way to keep cool. Keeping your hair off your face and neck is essential when dealing with summer heat. Large claw clips elevate your updos, offering a chic and elegant appearance with endless styling options. They’re the ultimate summer accessory. You can either match them with various outfits or stick with one signature clip. They’re both functional and fashionable—a perfect combination.
2. Tennis Skirts
Thanks to restrictions, Wimbledon might be out of reach, but tennis skirts bring that summer sport vibe to your wardrobe. This trend goes beyond the classic white look, offering a range of colors to match any mood. The simple design of the skirt allows for countless styling options. Pair it with a crop top for a sweet, girly style, a polo neck for a sporty look, or a loose sweater for something edgier. However you decide to wear your tennis skirt, it adds a preppy flair to your outfit.
3. Puff Sleeves
Puff sleeves have been trending for a while, and it’s clear they’re here to stay. They give the illusion of structured shoulders, which can make your waist look smaller. For that hourglass figure, puff sleeves are your go-to. Wear a puff-sleeve dress for a girlish look or opt for a puff-sleeve top for a sleek summer style. Match them with your favorite jeans to elevate the classic ‘jeans and a nice top’ look. Step up the summer vibe by pairing with white jeans or a denim skirt, and go for a square neckline for that sweet yet sultry mix. With various fabrics and patterns available, the possibilities with puff sleeves are endless.
4. Wrap Skirts/Dresses
Wrap skirts and dresses are all the rage this summer, and we love it! This style is incredibly flattering because the wrap accentuates your natural curves. Pair your wrap dress with white sneakers for a trendy look, or sandals to channel holiday vibes. Wrap skirts are ideal for outdoor, socially-distanced picnics. Many come with the skort design, so you can sit comfortably without worry. Simply pair them with a basic tee or vest for that ultimate summer look. Often featuring frills, these wraps offer a sassy yet elegant summer style. You can even try a wrap top, which looks adorable and suits all body types.
5. Tie-Dye
Tie-dye has made a strong return in fashion. If you enjoy DIY projects, try creating your own designs—but handle carefully. If DIY isn’t your style, plenty are available for purchase at stores. The beauty of DIY is each piece ends up being one-of-a-kind. Experiment with tie-dye patterns by altering how you secure the fabric, like swirling for a spiral design. Consider using bleach for a subtler tie-dye effect or colorful dyes for a modern twist on the 2020 hippie look. If shopping is more your speed, thrift stores and charity shops are great places to find unique tie-dye pieces.
