2021 Summer Trends
As summer heats up, get your wardrobe summer ready with these trends:
- Denim Shorts: Denim shorts are a summer wardrobe staple that everyone is wearing right now. This is a versatile piece of clothing that you can pair with all sorts of tops, jackets, shoes, and accessories.
- Flip Flop Heels: Thong flip flop sandals with heels are increasingly popular this summer. A sort of combination between casual flip flops and high heels – these shoes are versatile and pair great with almost any outfit.
- Bodycon Mini Dress: Bold is the key word for fashion this summer as society breaks out their summer’s finest and hit the town for the first time since the COVID pandemic began. Right now, we are seeing a lot of bodycon mini dresses. The daring look is comfortable and classy, and can be dressed up or down to fit your mood and activities.
- Exotic Prints: Another bold trend is exotic prints on your favorite clothing styles. Be as colorful as you like no matter where you are going with patterns that stand out and draw attention.
- Stripes: Stripes are one of the trends that seems to be evolving over time. Sometimes the trend is small stripes or a certain combination of colors. Now, the trend is any way you want it to be. From cocktail dresses to scrunchies, stripes are a must-have for your wardrobe.
- Mini Bags: Mini bags have been popular for awhile, but this summer is proving that the trend isn’t going anywhere. Mini bags are small accessories that pack a big punch.
- Smocked Dresses: Smocked dresses (think scrunchy stretchy fabric) are very hot this summer! We are seeing lots of variations in bold colors and prints, and how they are accessorized. Long smocked dresses can easily be dressed up or down – from a poolside brunch to a night out with the girls.
- Cut-Outs: For summer 2021, feel free to show some skin. Cut-outs are a huge trend happening right now. From keyhole necklines to open sides on your favorite maxi dress, cut-outs are sure to heat up your summer season.
- Metallics: Metallics are having a major fashion moment right now. We are seeing metallic trends in everything from shoes to hair accessories.
- Clogs: Clogs are something of an unexpected fashion trend. They had a moment in the 1990’s but have been mostly limited to Crocs since. Now, however, they are becoming a fashion staple. From traditional wood styles to sleek and sexy styles, this is a trend you might be surprised you like.
