5 Trends to Expect this Summer

Sequin and sparkles

Picture this — you’ve just stepped off the beach, skin sun-kissed, sand still on your ankles, and you’re about to get ready for dinner. But it’s not just any dinner. It’s the one you’ll remember when summer ends — the night you wore that outfit you’d never dare to wear back home.

Summer is when we romanticize our lives and dress for the version of ourselves that says yes to more: more color, more accessories, more sparkle. It’s not about playing it safe — it’s about playing dress-up with confidence- for a summer to remember for a lifetime.

Color & Pattern

Somewhere along the way, fashion got serious. Neutrals took over, and “quiet luxury” muted everything in sight. But this summer? Color is back — unapologetically, joyfully, playfully.

Think hot pink slip dresses, citrusy two-pieces, electric blue crochet, and prints that feel like a vacation postcard. The vibe is “dopamine dressing” — wearing what makes you feel something. Whether it’s a head-to-toe look or just a punchy accessory, adding a bold piece to your rotation can shift your entire mood.

It’s time to remember: fashion should be fun. Let your clothes make you feel like a kid again — free, adventurous, and unafraid to stand out.

Poncho and Pareos

This has to be one of our favorite trends of the season. The poncho is officially back — not in a boho music-festival way, but in a breezy, beach-meets-boutique kind of way. Think lightweight knits, crochet textures, or gauzy cottons thrown over a swimsuit or layered effortlessly over a slip dress.

And then there’s the pareo — the summer MVP. Scarves and sarongs are no longer just beach wraps. This season, they're styled as tops, skirts, headwraps, even handbags. Creatives on the street and across social feeds are tying them in ways that feel fresh, flirty, and totally personal.

Bold Jewelry

Even the most basic outfit can turn heads with the right jewelry — and this summer, the bigger and bolder, the better. We’re talking oversized beaded necklaces, mismatched earrings, stacked anklets, and the return of all things ocean-inspired: seashells, pearls, even little fishies (yes, fishies).

It’s playful, it’s maximalist, and it’s the easiest way to make your outfit look intentional — even if you just threw on a bikini and a button-down.

Polka Dots

Yes, it feels like 2018. And yes — the polka dots are back. But this time, they’ve grown up a little. Instead of just sweet and vintage, they’re cool, clean, and surprisingly versatile. Designers are reimagining the classic print in oversized versions, asymmetric placements, and even mixed-dot patterns that feel graphic and modern.

Whether it’s a sheer blouse, a breezy wrap dress, or a scarf tied at the neck à la French girl chic, polka dots are here to add a touch of whimsy to your summer rotation — and honestly, we’re not mad about it at all.

From bold sparkle to nostalgic prints, summer 2025 is giving us permission to go there. Wear the color. Pack the pareo. Add the seashell necklace. Your best memories are waiting — and so is your best outfit.
