12 Jul Summer Trend Report

With trends as hot as the summer temperatures, get ready for your most stylish summer yet. There are so many fun summer trends to dive into, from the colors of the season to must-have prints that your closet would be incomplete without. Click here to let our buyers walk you through why these trends are so well loved and how to work them into your wardrobe!

Trending Colors

This season’s color palette has been dominated by cooler tones, such as lilac and cobalt blue. Two differing but equally striking colors, these are beautiful additions to your wardrobe. Softer toned purples such as lilac or lavender are the perfect transitional purple if you’re not ready to fully embrace the bold neons of the summer but still want a pop of color in your outfit. Wear it casually in a knit tank or dress it up a bit with a trendy top for a night out or a slip skirt for everyday wear.

“Lilac is a great option if you don’t want to venture into the cool tones of mauve or bolds of neon purple–the perfect middle ground.”

-Brailey G., Assistant Buyer

On the other end of the spectrum, cobalt is a gorgeous, punchy color to bring some drama to your look. Fully dive into this trend with a monochromatic moment, or let this color speak for itself through one statement piece or accessory.

Trending Prints

The leopard print revival is official upon us and we are so excited about it! From mid-aughts style to classic fashion icons such as Audrey Hepburn or Jackie Kennedy, we’ve seen this print surface time and time again. This iteration bridges the gap between the minimalist aesthetics we’ve seen in the last several years and the boldness of the print itself. Wear leopard to amplify a simple, classic look or go all in on the trend and lean fully into the fun of leopard. Whether you’re leopard-curious or ready to go big, there’s a way to make this trend work for you.

“The key to styling leopard print is to focus on the neutral tones of the print and work your outfit around that.”

-Amy E., Senior Buyer

Trending Fabrics

Fun textures have had quite the presence this season, and textured knits are the perfect way to bring this trend to life. If you love elevated basics (and who doesn’t?!), this trend is a great way to add a playful touch to a classic look and add another level of interest and dimension. Crocheted tops and 3D embroidered details are huge this summer, and these pair so well with a variety of options so you can easily bring them into your causalwear, office style, or night out looks.

Making a comeback this season: plissé fabrics. Elegant and feminine, this fabric gently softens your look and is subtle enough that you can make a statement without sacrificing comfort.

Wardrobe must-haves

Cargos are huge for this summer and we’re seeing them in more ways than one! Your classic cargo pant is absolutely here to stay, but this form of utility dressing can also be seen in skirts or even denim. A miniskirt with the traditional cargo pockets is a great way to incorporate this trend into your summer wardrobe, or opt for a cargo trouser for a lightweight variation.
