I don’t know about you, but my mind is officially in summer mode. Once it hit 70 degrees for the first time, I did immediately swapped my boots for sandals and threw my chunky knits into storage. Booking flights, going to the beach and hanging out in warm weather is all I dream about and that includes what I will wear. If you’re anything like me, you’ve probably already started building your summer wardrobe, but if you haven’t (or want to revamp), I’ve got you!
This summer we’ll see everything from quiet luxury (think Sofia Richie) to mermaid core (who else is excited to see Little Mermaid?)! We’ll also see a lot of our timeless classics like crochet (hello, granny core). Not only am I here to share this season’s hottest trends, but I also give you great outfit inspo. Without further ado, here’s what we’re raving about, namely what will take over everyone’s bags closet this season. Sunny days and the most amazing lewks are ahead of you—YW!

When it comes to quiet luxury, less is more. You most likely own everything needed to win this trend, but if you need a few more items to add to the collection, you’ll love this minimal vest, maxi dress, and pleated pants.
