Hello Summer lovers! Want to learn about the hottest trends for dressing cool in the heat? Many parts of the world are experiencing massive heat waves and reaching record breaking temperatures. I was sweating like crazy a few days ago because it was so humid and the hot air was so suffocating! It's crazy! But there's a way to beat the heat. These are my interpretations of the trends for this summer and what to wear.
Backless Shirts

Not only is it refreshing to wear in the hot summer heat, but it's a fun way to show off some skin without revealing too much!
You can also play around with how much it reveals. Backless tops vary from a cute little peephole to plunging down the back. There are different styles of the cut as well, some are simply low cut and some are wide Vs cut into the material. Some tops have a large slit in the back and others actually have sections itself simply chopped from the shirt. There are so many types of backless tops that are guaranteed to suit every person's taste!
Remember the cardinal rule of fashion: BALANCE. A low cut, backless tank top is not classy to wear public; even in extreme temperatures. See all the photos shown above? They all use factors to balance out the exposure of skin- longer length, high neckline, sleeves, etc. What results is a perfectly harmonized top (:
Rompers
Woah combining two trends = NICE ^
No longer for children or elderly women, the romper suit has made a huge comeback in the fashion industry. Dressier than the typical tank top + shorts combo and easier to move around in than a short dress, the romper makes practical and comfortable look sexy.
Some styles resemble a tank top with thin, spaghetti straps while others provide more coverage, taking on the form of a shirt complete with sleeves (Nicole Riche, above).
Rompers tend to be loose and the fabric gathers around the waist. Unfortunately that would exaggerate a stomach, so some may wish to skip this trend.
One Shoulder
These tops are another great way to show a little skin without baring too much and giving off bad impressions. They radiate a subtle, flirtatious vibe with one sleeve intentionally hanging off. It's tasteful and sophisticated and sexy all at the same time!
This trend has so many different styles and enormous selection that it's guaranteed to fit every body size. Everything from the length to the sleeve to the material varies depending on the brand. One shoulder pieces come in casual to dressy to formal! They can be worn on any occasion because there are so many variations and they are versatile.
Floral Maxi Dresses
Get your floral on with these long, flowy Maxi dresses this summer! Easy to wear and perfect for the heat since they're made with a loose and breathable material to ensure comfort. Chic and upbeat, maxi dresses won't feel overdressed or out of place. Maxi dresses come in many other patterns besides floral such as tribal and animal prints, watercolour, jungle print, etc!
Summer Polishes
Essie in Tart Deco, a punchy peach colour.
Colour Club in Blue Light. A sky blue shade that mimics the summer sky
Chanel in LA Sunrise, a shockingly bright yellow.
Slingbags
It's far too hot in the summer to be carrying around oversize totes (unless they're beach bags!) or dangling tiny impractical clutches. A slingbag is designed to have the strap rest across one's body, with the bag relaxing either at the side or the back. It's a great, hands-free purse for summer because it allows one to continue being active and no need to lug that heavy bag around! Slingbags vary from all sizes and most come with a smaller strap to wear on the shoulder.
And summer staples that everyone should own already:
Tank tops in bright colours
Flips flops in basic shades
Denim shorts
Wedges or Espadrilles
Huge beach tote
Sunglasses
SUNSCREEN of course
Have a great summer!
