What are your plans for the summer? Whether you plan on spending your days lounging around, soaking up the sun, hiking your favorite trail or you are looking forward to nights out with your girls or attending musical festivals, your style should reflect your personality while boosting your confidence so you’re ready for whatever summer will bring your way.
Some of the hottest summer trends are plus size tie-dye shirtswhether you make it at home or buy it from your favorite brandand, of course, it wouldn’t be summer without short hemlines and whimsical pieces. So don’t be shy! Step outside of your comfort zone and embrace a new trend for a little excitement this season.
This summer is on track to be warmer than usual, and while we want you to look hot, we certainly don’t want you to overheat. Along with these summer styles, we have included style tips and choices that will help you stay cool while looking fierce.
Dresses for Every Day of the Week
Are you a mini, midi or maxi kind of girl? Either way, plus size boutique dresses always win the summer. Whether you are lounging around at home or heading out to brunch with your girls, there is a dress for every occasion. To keep cool, stick to dresses with shorter hemlines and lightweight fabrics. If you love to embrace a jersey knit maxi dress, tie one end in a knot for a unique look and some breathing room for your legs.
The Tie-Dye Craze
If you haven’t DIYed your own tie-dye shirt or set like everyone else, where have you been? Tie-dye may be the biggest trend of the summer, and while you can custom create your own tie-dye set at home, you can find tie-dye pieces just about anywhere. For a literally cool approach to this trend, opt for pieces like mini dresses or T-shirts that you can tie up. If you made your own tie-dye pieces, consider cutting them into crop tops.
Jeans and a Tee
If you like to keep it simple and cute when the temperatures rise, this outfit is for you. Whether you love a good pair of ripped jeans or cut-off shorts, pair your go-to bottoms with a graphic T-shirt. Knot the front of your tee to spice up the look and keep you cool. You can easily dress this outfit up or down for any occasion, and this look may make the perfect addition to any plus size concert outfits you may have planned. Add a wide-brimmed hat or a statement belt for a cool-girl vibe.
Summer Athleisure
Have plans to do yoga three days a week or hit up your favorite gym class? Take your workout attire to the streets for an on-trend athleisure look. Matching workout sets are all the rage right nowwhether you like your look to be all black or neon green. Opt for a sports bra and matching pair of shorts to keep your cooldown lasting well beyond leaving the gym. You could also throw a chic windbreaker over your look to make it more appropriate for whatever you have planned for the rest of the day.
Whimsical Kimonos
Lightweight, chic kimonos are always a summer stapleespecially if you plan to spend your summer at music festivals or picnics in the park. Top off any look with a kimono to instantly elevate your outfit. While you may think kimonos are excessive during warmer days, if you choose a piece with lightweight material or a kimono with no sleeves, you’ll stay cool all day long.
Meshed Up
Summer is all about showing some skin, and what better way to do that then with ultra-feminine pieces like see-through mesh tops with floral embroidery or maxi dresses with mesh panels at the bottom. Mesh is very breathable so it will keep you cool during the hottest days, and it also provides a way to show some skin without baring it all. Mesh is very versatile and has been adopted by almost every style so you’re sure to find a piece that matches your aesthetic.
Palazzo Pants
If you want to keep your looks easy, breezy and chic this summer, work some palazzo pants into your wardrobe. The possibilities are endless when it comes to these bottoms. You can find them in a variety of fits, colors and styles. Their loose, oversized fit is perfect for warmer days. Pair them with a curve-hugging tank top or a structured crop top to balance out proportions.
Matching Co-ords
If monochromatic looks are your jam, you’ll fit right in with the trends this summer. Matching co-ords are making a huge statement this season, and we love how incredibly chic they are. Pair a crop top with a skirt of the same color or palazzo pants and a chic bralette for a stylish look only a true fashionista could pull off. Remember to keep your look monochromatic for an on-trend vibe!
The Colors of Summer
Whether you are a color or neutral kind of girl, to make sure all of your looks keep you cool while looking hot this summer, stick to lighter colors and leave the darker tones for fall. Dressing in neutrals or light colors will help keep the sun from beating down on you.
Statement Skirts
This will be the summer of the skirt. Whether it’s a wrap ruffle mini or a maxi skirt with a high slit, these bottoms should be the focus of your summer outfits. Go bold with the print or embellishments to make a statement. If you’re looking to stay cool during the warmer days, opt for a mini or midi fit rather than a maxi skirt. Since these skirts will be the emphasis, top off your look with a basic tee or fitted tank top.
Ditch the Top
If you’re a confident gal looking for your next opportunity to make a huge statement, swap your go-to blouse for a bralette this summer. Not only will you be staying cool, but these bralettes have become so chic over the yearswhich means you’ll have a look that could kill! If you’re not comfortable sporting just a bralette with a pair of jeans or a skirt, add a flowy kimono or a blouse with a plunging neckline that ties in the front.
