Top Current Trends I'm Loving

      This summer there have been some trends that I have really been loving, as you can tell by the title of this post! I really like the chill vibe that I've been seeing a lot lately. What I mean by this is that that simple and basic pieces are really in right now. But I also love that most have a unique twist such as cut-outs or cool necklines. I have also been seeing a lot of solid colored pieces or items with bold stripes. I decided to share my favorite types of pieces below!



Bomber jackets:
- Although it is summer and that means that temperatures are usually higher it does cool down a bit at night and so I think that having some good layering pieces is necessary. Bomber jackets are very in right now. They give an effortless cool vibe to an outfit. Also I like that depending on the material and cut of the jacket it can drastically change your whole look. Leather gives a completely different aesthetic to an outfit than satin or corduroy. I really just love layering and jackets in general and am glad they are having their moment!

Lace up flats:
- I also think that lace up flats are very pretty. The concept of them is pretty simple and minimalistic but they just add so much to an outfit. I also love how versatile they are. These shoes can be worn with skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, a casual dress, or with a more formal outfit and still look great with whatever they're paired with.

Tee shirt dresses:
- Tee shirt dresses are so simple as well yet look so cute. They are so easy to just throw on and still make you look put together. And again are another very versatile item that can be dressed up or down depending on what accessories or other pieces you wear it with. I prefer these dresses in a solid color or any combination of black, white, and or navy stripes. (Stripes in this color palette give me such a nautical vibe and remind me of the beach and summertime).

"Basic" shirts:
- Not so basic, basic shirts. What I mean by this are shirts that would be basic but are not because of their necklines or "details". Shirts with lacing or ties are a huge trend right now. These can cut down pretty low but don't show too much which I like. You could also wear a cool bandeau or bralette underneath. I also like that they do come in varying levels of "showiness" and so everyone can find something they are comfortable with. 

Denim & button up skirts:
- Denim and front buttoning skirts (or a combo of the two) are another trend I am really liking. Who would have thought that denim skirts would be in again? I did not think it would happen and I'm sure a lot of other people didn't either but I'm glad I was wrong. In my opinion they are pretty cute and just have a great summer vibe to them but can definitely transition into fall as well just as the bomber jacket can. I also like that button up skirts come in so many fabrics as well and that can help them be multi-seasonal as well. Corduroy ones would look great with riding boots in the fall. 

What are some of your favorite summer trends?

Thanks for reading!
