What is it about the arrival of summer that makes me want to try out every random and trendy fashion buy I come across? Everyone’s style shifts depending on the season, and I’ve always noticed how the moment truly hot weather hits, I eschew my tailored neutrals and plain basics for more experimental pieces and trendy items more willingly than I typically do. Something about summer’s free-spirited vibe just make me want to wear the brightest colors, coolest cut out pieces, and most attention-getting accessories. And this year is no exception.
Now that retailers have just begun to drop their summer collections, I’ve spent my time scrolling through page after page of trendy new arrivals (all in the name of research!) and I simply can’t hold in my excitement any longer: I’m straight-up losing it over these 38 fun summer buys. From colorful beaded necklaces to lime-hued shorts sets, continue on to see everything that’s getting me excited for summer, all delightfully under $100. Happy shopping!
I’ll quit cutouts when they stop getting cooler.
Such a small investment for a potentially outfit-making addition.
This screams “repeat wear” since it goes with everything from trousers to denim shorts.
Classic silhouette, exciting new color.
Obviously, I want the matching shorts, too.
In case you want to match with Hailey Bieber. (Who doesn’t?)
The back of this dress is enough to sell me on it.
Oooh.
I’ll be in my tube top era all summer.
A vacation-worthy find.
Anything in this color gets me.
This makes me want to book a trip to southern Italy just so I can wear it. (Yes, there’s a matching top.)
These just ooze cool.
Regardless of trends, I’ll always have a few delicate white tops in my closet for summer.
When it qualifies as a trend piece and a basic.
Easy to wear with a little something “extra”.
How I plan to wear the relaxed tailoring trend this summer.
