We’ve scoped the hottest lookbooks and runways to get inspired for our summer style, and we’ve found quite a few major themes that seem to be raging around every fashion capital. Even our favourite celebrities find these looks totally irresistible! No matter what your personal preference may be, you’ll definitely find a few style ideas that suit you. Here are the most recurring themes we’ve discovered for summer this year:
1. Romantic
Seems like designers everywhere are embracing the sweet romance of summer, as the use of dreamy florals, sheer fabrics and lace accents have been all over the runway. Whether it’s looking pretty in pink or pairing cute crop tops with delicate high-waisted skirts, you’ll see tons of new choices this summer for timeless, girly pieces.
2. Pop Art
These eccentric prints inspired by the likes of Andy Warhol and Roy Lichtenstein have been an absolute hit amongst bold trendsetters, and these striking prints are a perfect fixture for exciting summer parties. Stand out and don’t be afraid to flash your quirky side this season!
3. Nautical
Nothing’s cuter than a sailor girl! These beachy designs incorporate navy blue and white stripes, sometimes with a slight military edge. Nautical designs can add a classy vibe to sexy beach coverups or a sweet touch to light shirts and cardigans.
4. Retro
The 50’s and 60’s are making a huge comeback this year, and it’s definitely not ending this summer. Flared skirts and dresses with polka-dots or gingham prints are all the rage for a vintage night look. Stand out during the day with Woodstock-inspired vests or funky hippie trousers. Bring back this blast from the past with a modern twist!
5. Bohemian
Boho-chic is always a favourite for music festivals, but don’t let that stop you from rocking this free-spirited style all season long! Tribal prints and beaded moccasins are huge features on the runways. These accents are perfect for flowing fabrics and colourful maxi dresses. You’ll look like an effortless fashionista with this much sought-after look.
