Top 5 Summer Fashion Trends That Are Actually Worth Shopping
Summer fashion trends are always heavily dependent on one’s personal style, but with the influx of media companies, influencers and the like saying “this is the summer trend you NEED NOW” it can be incredibly hard to decipher whether something has true staying power while also being wearable!
Plus, if you search up summer trends 2024, you’ll get a ton of different articles saying completely different things, which only adds to trend confusion.
That’s why we love to do fashion trends differently here!
We know you want to use your hard earned money wisely and there’s nothing worse than going into a new season and seeing how much money you wasted last year on things you can’t wear anymore. Maybe because they’re out of style, low quality or you don’t have any “newer” trends you can follow with the clothes you bought.
So in this article, we are breaking down the top 5 trends that are actually worth shopping this season! And when I say worth shopping, I mean that they are actually wearable by most women (no pants trend? No thank you!) and they have staying power.
We’re not recommending the hottest new thing out there that will disappear in 6 months, the trends we picked out cuts through all the noise online to give you the trends that you can wear for multiple seasons, multiple years, and include pieces you can style multiple different ways - that way if you have a top that goes with one trend that may be out of date in a few years, it’s still a versatile piece you can pair with different bottoms to modify your look.
Let’s dive in!
Summer in the Hamptons
I like to describe this trend as just “summer elegance”. Quiet luxury is here to stay and there’s no better place for quiet luxury fashion inspiration than the hamptons! This trend is defined by high-quality fabrics, investment pieces, classic styles and elevated basics that everyone should have in their closets.

Shoreside chic
Summer no doubt brings upon a desire to head towards water, making coastal and shoreside aesthetics desirable. This trend is influenced by nautical fashions, as well as lots of stripes, and a blue, white and black color palette (especially for swimwear). These will be essentials for summers to come, so don’t hesitate to invest in these styles.

Modern Boho (crochet, flowy layers)
A trendier category that’s worth investing in is the new, modern day boho chic. Now if you’re like me you instantly cringed at the idea of “boho” given that us millennials have very vivid memories of this style in middle school. However the new modern day boho is mainly characterized by 3 things: crochet, flowing layers and sheer textures, giving it a perfect summer staple to invest in.

Not your average linen
I know… linen for summer, how original! But no really, just like spring fashion is known for florals, summer fashion is known for linen! But that doesn’t mean it needs to be basic. There are a lot of new linen styles out there that include more intricate details, edgier cuts, as well as different styles of linen you may not have thought of. There’s no need to put your summer linen in a box of just linen pants and shorts, there are plenty of fun options to spice up your summer fashion!

Femininely Coquette
This trend definitely leans into your feminine side - and we absolutely love it! Coquette has been a rising trend on tiktok for summer, but with another new season of bridgerton that just dropped, everyone’s jumping on it quickly! This trend leans heavily into puff sleeves, silky fabrics and playful girly accessories. This is one trend you can truly have so much fun with and also a guarantee that you can repurpose this many seasons over to lean into your feminine side.
