The summer season is upon us, and it is all about having fun, whether that be on the go, by the beach, or with our clothes. With temperatures rising, there’s room to play, but we also know that finding what to wear can be tough. To make things a bit easier we have rounded up a few of our favorite trends we will be donning all summer long—and we think you should try, as well.
Capri Pants
Longer than shorts, and shorter than pants, their slim silhouette and ¾ length makes capri pants the ideal closet staple to sport all summer long. Named after the Italian isle where they rose to popularity in the late 1950s and 1960s, capris can be worn on on low key days and provide ample opportunities to style with blouses, summer knits, halters— they are truly versatile.

Bag Charms
A charming addition to anything you’ll be toting around this summer, bag charms add just the right amount of glam to even the smallest of accessories. We cannot talk about bag decorating without accrediting the beloved Jane Birkin, who was known to adorn and personalize her own bags with charms, stickers, and ribbons. Perhaps even our accessories need a little accessorizing too. It really makes you think.

Wild Wild West
Head out west this summer. Designers like Chloé, Isabel Marant, and Stella McCartney have all made the runway their new wild frontier. From understated studded accessories to full blown suede fringe, we can’t escape it. You may not be headed out to the frontier, but take a note out of New York socialite turned western fashion icon, Millicent Roger’s playbook and add a bit of cow print flair—and maybe even a bolo tie.

Whether paired with a breezy sundress or your favorite pair of jeans, a sheer shoe brings an elevated and sleek approach to comfort and ease.
