Summer will be here before you know it. Is your closet ready? Now is the time to start thinking about how you are going to rock this summer with the latest fashion trends. Here are six of the top fashion must-have items that you need in your closet for the summer of 2022.
1. Lime Green and Hot Pink
The first thing that you need to know is that lime green and hot pink look to be the hottest colors heading into the summer. Lime green graced all the spring fashion shows, ranging from full outfits to splashes of color on coordinating pieces.
Hot pink is always a good hue for this season because of the zing that it adds to any summer outfit. Pair lime green and hot pink together for a take that screams summer. This is the best time of the year to experiment with different colors. Make it count by choosing the boldness of lime green and hot pink.
2. Crochet, Eyelet, and Lace
There is no doubt that the materials of eyelet, lace, and crochet are making a big comeback. All of these materials deliver a romantic vibe that distinguishes those long sultry summer nights. If you are not ready to go with a full crochet or lace piece, try adding it in small amounts for additional texture to your outfit.
For example, a crochet shawl on top of a classic summer dress is on-trend without being too in your face. Or choose a blouse with an eyelet trim for a romantic and whimsical touch.
3. Convertible Infinity Dress
If you are looking to add versatility to your summer wardrobe, look no further than a convertible infinity dress. This type of dress will style into a number of different unique looks, allowing you to transform your appearance depending on the occasion. Go with a longer length for a formal occasion or spice it up with a shorter look for that Friday night cocktail party.
Investing in a quality multiway dress will ensure that you always have something ready to go in your closet, regardless of what type of event you are attending.
4. Slide Shoes
When it comes to footwear, you are going to want to slide into some new sandals. The classic slide shoe is back. This year’s trend offers a bit of height to help to elevate your look, however, it does not quite reach the standard of a full platform shoe. Slides are the perfect addition to your summer wardrobe.
Not only are they comfortable and easy, but they will also pair well with a variety of your favorite seasonal outfits. Partner your slides with a multi-wear dress or with a pair of linen trousers.
5. Bras as Tops
If you noticed that it looked like the runway models were simply wearing lingerie in the spring fashion preview shows, you would not be entirely wrong. Fearless fashionistas are ditching their usual blouses to wear a bra as a top. This trend pairs beautifully with high-waisted trousers pants and a blazer.
Pairing it with a jacket is a good idea for those not sure about going completely bare with a bra top. If you want something that stretches beyond the confines of a crop top, this trend may be right up your alley this summer.
6. Cutouts
The cutout look is everywhere already, making it a sure-fire choice for your summer wardrobe. The best thing about this trend is that you can incorporate it into a variety of different pieces. Add a bit of edginess to an elegant dress with a side cutout. Or choose a blouse with a cutout for an extra layer of style.
There is a style for everyone out there, regardless of how bold or conservative you want to be with your fashion this summer. A cutout piece is a perfect way to add a bit of flirtiness to your wardrobe heading into this fun season.
