1. Peachy Keen Pastels
We're talking mint, coral, peach, blush, lavender, periwinkle, apricot, lemon, seafoam green, and salmon - They stand out in the best way. These colors are absolutely necessary if you want to spruce up your closet color scheme. The minty-er the better!
2. Swimsuits, in every way imaginable
You must have seen the viral TikTok videos by now of people rearranging their bikinis in all different ways to get the maximum style options out of each set. If you haven't seen these videos, you may want to crawl out from under the rock you have been under, before perhaps the most wild summer of our lives commences.
3. The 90s and early 2000s called... They want their mini skirts back
Mini skirts have legitimately been around for centuries. (I read it somewhere once… Don't come for me.) Perhaps this is rightfully so. The miniskirt allows your legs to breathe in the oppressive heat many of us may face this time of year. It is an item of clothing that can easily be dressed-up or dressed-down, simply based on the shirt and accessories accompanying it.4. Top-to-bottom matching sets for the win
Matching sets can include bikinis, athleisure wear, long sleeve tops with shorts, and even sweatshirts with skirts. These sets are eye-catching and work well on many different body shapes. When in doubt, try it out!
5. Overhaul the overalls
Overalls are IN, they've BEEN in, and they're here to stay. Jean overalls are the perfect accessory because they go with seriously any top you put under it, no matter the sleeve length or pattern. These are statement pieces that you should certainly have at least one of in your wardrobe.
6. The Bold and the Beautiful
Summer 2021 will easily be one we can't forget, so why not make it memorable? Bold colors are an essential way to spice up any dreary and rainy summer day.
7. Let RETRO be your vibe
Some may define retro as the infamous pattern you may find on field-trip bus chairs or on the carpets of roller-skating rinks. Others may define retro as swirly patterned shirts with gigantic sleeves and bellbottoms. Whatever your definition of retro is, DO IT!
8. Overheated? Try on some chiffon!
Chiffon is a lightweight material that is a perfect addition to your summer collection. Just watch what you wear underneath because this material is often see-through!
9. The power of an embroidered sweatshirt
Summer may be the warmest season of the year, but it certainly brings with it some chilly nights by the shore. Throw on an embroidered sweatshirt with a cute little saying and you'll be sure to blend in and stand out all at once, in perhaps the cutest way possible.
