Wear These Must-Have Fashion Trends This Summer

Summer 2022 is almost here, and after the couple of years we’ve all had, we all deserve to have a good time. This summer’s fashion trends are all about being a little extra, flaunting what you’ve got, and having a good time.

This season’s looks go to extremes, whether it’s bright neon colors, ultra-short mini skirts, extra long maxi skirts, or eye-catching bohemian prints. They’ll be something for everyone on this summer’s fashion smorgasbord. Let’s take a look at some of the season’s hottest trends.

Crop Tops

Crop tops are back this summer, so expect to bare your midriff if you follow this trend. Options include cropped sweaters and cardigans, cropped button-downs, bras as tops, and bikini tops worn not just to the beach. Choose bright colors and striking designs matched with an ultra-mini skirt or a pair of wide-leg suit trousers. You’ll even find crop-top co-ords on the racks this year.

Skirts of All Lengths

Unemployment is down and the hemline is up – way up. Ultra-mini skirts that bare almost the entire thigh are going to be hot this summer. Feel free to accessorize your legs with fishnet stockings, embroidered hose, frilly legging or even a thigh-high, feathered boot.

Not a mini-skirt type of gal? You can still be fashionable in a pleated midi skirt or a tube-style maxi. The pleated midi skirt recalls the Catholic schoolgirl uniform trend of the post-Clueless era. Tube-style maxi skirts and sheath dresses also recall the Y2K era – and there’s a lot of Y2K nostalgia running through this summer’s fashion trends.

Baggy, Low-Rise Jeans

You can’t revisit Y2K fashion without bringing back baggy jeans. Low-rise jeans (and bottoms in general) are back, but they’re not exactly hip-huggers. Instead they’re low-slung, with a relaxed fit and wide legs.

Platform Shoes

Revenge heels are going to be one of the biggest summer 2022 fashion trends for women, since plenty of us are happy to ditch the sneakers and slippers we’ve been wearing for the past two years and get into the most extravagant pair of heels we have. Big, clunky heels in bold colors with fancy details are essential for nights out this summer.

Monochrome Looks in Bold Colors

Monochrome looks will be in this summer, and they’re going to prove that single-color looks don’t have to be boring. Quite the opposite! This summer, expect to see dresses and pantsuits in bold neon colors like Kermit green, highlighter yellow, and hot pink. Orange, red, butter yellow, and lime green will also dominate this summer’s color palette. Wear these pieces with matching shoes and handbags to stay on trend.

White Dresses

A brilliant white dress is a refreshing option in a sea of bold colors, and it can be the perfect choice for a sweltering summer day. You’ll have options in every cut and style – puffy dresses with big skirts, sheath dresses, a-line dresses, maxi dresses. Whether short or long, fancy or plain, you’ll find a white dress for every occasion.

Bohemian Prints

Elements like tassels and fringe, crochet, tie-dye, and sarong or sari fabric appeared in many of the outfits displayed during this season’s fashion weeks. Some looks are inspired by specific cultures around the world, while others have a more general exotic or hippie feel. Expect to see pieces with excessive detailing, handmade crochet elements, rich colors, and eye-catching patterns.

Motorcycle Jackets

An oversized motorcycle jacket is a rugged staple that never goes out of style. This summer, layer it over a sheer top, a bikini top, or a bra for a dangerous but sexy vibe. The double-front style with an asymmetrical zip is on trend.

Co-Ords

If you want to look put-together enough to go to the office but don’t want to give up the comfort of your work-from-home pajama set, co-ords are for you, and they’re in this summer. It’s a look that comes across as smoothly polished, without sacrificing comfort. Get comfortable co-ords in knits and jerseys. Grab three- or four-piece co-ord looks. There should be many pieces and iterations available, so you can personalize your co-ords all you want – wear wide-leg, baggy trousers with a tight crop top, a long dress over skinny leggings, or a cardigan with a pencil skirt.

This summer’s fashion looks are all-in on fun, creativity, and color. You’ll find pieces that give you nostalgia and plenty of stuff for when you’re feeling a little extra, but no matter what you wear this summer, make sure you’re rocking it 100 percent!
