There are so many trends going on this summer I don’t even know where to begin! I look on Instagram every day and see beautiful girls setting the bar high, taking cute pictures in the best outfits, but guess what? You can look like that too! Every girl wants to look their best in the summer, and I’m going to help you find the perfect style to make you look better than ever thought you could for summer 2018.

 

1. Are the 70’s Coming Back?

I can’t help but notice all of the 70’s-looking clothes when I go to the mall. They say everything comes back in style eventually, and I think it’s time for the 70’s to come back. Flower patterns are everywhere. I don’t know about you, but I am in love. Fashion changes so fast, and getting that new look is what us girls live for.

2. Everything Espadrille

You may not have known the name of these shoes, but they have become very popular recently. This is probably the first time some of us have ever seen espadrilles because they were first popular in the 1940’s. The most popular looks with these are wedges and sandals which are absolutely perfect for summer. I am very bias because I have a pair of my own, and these shoes go with everything. If you’re looking to spice up your closet with sandals or wedges this summer, these shoes are the way to go.

3. Rompers and Dresses

Do you ever get tired of wearing plain old jean shorts? Well me, too. One of the most popular ways to dress during the summer is by wearing cute rompers and dresses. Rompers and dresses can both be worn for casual and fancy occasions. You can never go wrong with rompers, dresses, and even jumpers for those chilly summer nights.

4. Crop Tops and Daisy Dukes

You can never go wrong with old-fashioned cutoffs and a cute crop top. Casual summer nights hanging out with your best friends by a bonfire is the perfect place to throw on your daisy dukes. Everyone should have this in their closet because it’s the perfect mixture of a cute outfit, and the comfortless you want to feel during your chill summer. Go for this look, and you’ll be killing it this summer.

5. Accessories: Headbands and the Hottest Sunglasses

Even if you don’t have the biggest bank account, you can always dress up an older outfit with accessories. Jewelry such as earrings, necklaces, rings, and bracelets have always been worn to dress up outfits, but there are some other things spicing up outfits. Chokers, headbands, and sunglasses are becoming more popular. The sunglasses that are popular are colored sunglasses. Pink, green, orange, and blue lenses are the perfect way to spice up an outfit without having to change any of your clothes!

6. The Colors of Summer: Nude, Blush, and Comfort Colors

We have discussed all of the hot summer outfits you want to be looking good in, but what colors are the most popular this summer? Girls are starting to be seen in lighter colors such as nude, blush, and comfort colors. These are the colors of today! We usually see dark colors, but switching it up and making them lighter and brighter is just perfect for summer.
