While we all enjoy the mild summer months, the question of “what to wear” as soon as the temperature rises above 27 degrees Celsius before noon becomes quite serious. With so many factors to consider—”Can I wear this to the office? What about happy hour? Should I take this to the beach?”—one must be particularly careful about which trends are worth trying.
Büro Siren Chic
If there’s one thing to take away from Selena Gomez’s Versace halter dress, it’s that office wear doesn’t have to be boring. Of course, her outfit might seem a bit much for a day at her corner office. However, we think the Büro Siren Chic look Gomez showcased is quite suitable for a professional and elegant setting, and can easily be adapted for summer parties.
Short Suits
Ayo Edebiri shows a stylish way to swap trousers for shorts this summer if you’re wearing suits. The Bottega Veneta robin’s egg blue ensemble, which she wore to the premiere of her new film, Puzzle 2, is perfect for the summer months and features a style versatile enough to pair with everything her days and nights are cooking up.
“Naked” Dress
Dakota Johnson proves the “naked” dress trend isn’t losing momentum, appearing at the Tribeca Film Festival in a barely-there Gucci outfit. Because sweltering summer temperatures make getting dressed even more dramatic, using body-hugging and sheer fabrics will help you avoid overheating and instantly give any look a dazzling appeal.
Pretty Prep
This summer, teach a lesson in style. After all, the minimalist and streamlined trend is permeating the streets and runways. Ditching plaid and screaming schoolgirl skirts, Emma Stone proves that sometimes less is more, appearing in chic and controversial capris from The Row.
Belt with massive buckles
Sabrina Carpenter caused quite a stir at Loewe’s menswear show in a mint green goddess dress, but what took her cropped look to the next level was the addition of this summer’s unexpected “it” accessory: a bold belt. The large buckle is a striking detail that commands attention on any outfit.
Gorgeous Boho
The boho-chic comeback is in full swing thanks to Chemene Kamali’s debut collection for Chloé, featuring ruffled dresses, romantic flounces, and airy blouses, which has served as inspiration for many celebrity looks. Stars, from Sienna Miller and Zoe Saldana to Jennifer Lopez, simply can’t get enough of an effortlessly boho look this summer.
Luxury Denim
On paper, a tank top and blue jeans might seem like the simplest of outfits, but let Blake Lively breathe new life into a time-tested combination. A simple white T-shirt is transformed when paired with luxury denim. From cutouts to appliqués, wearing dressier jeans creates a relaxed yet chic summer look, perfect for a cocktail party or a street market.
Head-to-Toe Neutral Look
Who says beige has to be boring? Hailey Bieber proves that maternity wear and a solid color can easily make a statement with the right stylish approach, wearing this caramel-colored dress by LaQuan Smith and a matching blazer by Magda Butrym.
Lingerie as Casual Wear
There’s no better excuse to wear lingerie as casual wear than beating the summer heat. Reducing your outfit to the essentials will still be sexy and streamlined, but we recommend taking a cue from Emma Corrin during her latest red carpet outing. This look, adorned with a silky Saint Laurent garter top by Anthony Vaccarello, cleverly mimics the length of the dress and feels refined yet daring.
Crop Tops
For an appearance on CBS’s morning show, Bridgerton star Nicola Kohlan opted for a chic crop top worn with a pleated maxi skirt from the Frankie Shop. This playful take on proportions is an easy way to beat the heat and still look great. Choose crisp cotton or lightweight linen to keep things airy.
