1. Oversized Shirt
The ‘big’ shirt is trending this summer, and for a good reason! It’s great for layering, you can easily carry it around during the day and add it to your outfit as the sun goes down. They’re also lightweight which is great for warmer weather and provides protection from the sun. As you’re shopping for your own version, try to find shirts made from cotton or linen, as those will be better quality and last for years to come.
2. Fruity Fun
Y2K is certainly in style this summer, and your favorite fruit patterns from middle school – cherries, strawberries, and more, are all the rage again. This outfit is simple, pairing a bright red shirt with a pair of straight leg jeans and a statement bag. But the bag pattern goes a long way in tying the outfit together and giving her the final color piece of her festive outfit.
3. Gingham Picnic
Whether you’re heading to a barbeque this Independence Day, or to a picnic in the park, a light gingham patterned dress is always a great option. This navy and white style can be paired with white and red accessories to be on theme with the holiday, but the dress is versatile enough to be worn all season long.
