With the summer season quickly approaching, it may be necessary to add some new pieces into your wardrobe. As someone who tries to go through their closet at the end of every school year, I always look forward to the opportunity to replace those unused items with things I would actually wear. Summer is the perfect time to try out new trends and clothing pieces!

  1. Khaki Who would have thought that khaki would be a summer trend? I definitely didn’t. Any ways, I actually love the idea of trying out khaki skinny jeans or shorts for the summertime. You can pair them with a solid white tee for a simple look, or a bold bright like red for a statement. The possibilities are endless with this simple color! Image via Elle
  2. White Shirt Dress During the summer, you can’t go wrong with a dress. With the heat and humidity in full force, it’s the perfect thing to throw on when you don’t want to put much thought into an outfit. For those that have an internship or even a job, this is a great way to dress up while still being comfortable. Image via Elle
  3. Statement Sleeves I don’t know about you guys, but I’ve noticed this trend everywhere recently. It doesn’t matter if it’s pom-poms, ruffles, you name it, I’ve seen these out on the town, runways and online. This is definitely a trend to try, as it can be as dressed up or dressed down as you want them to be.

Summer is the perfect time to try new looks! With these three trends, you can swap out some older pieces in your wardrobe with these. The good thing about all of this is that they can be as dressed up, dressed down or as aggressive as you want to them to be.
