The 5 Most Wearable Summer Fashion Trends To Get In On Now
We have been waiting SO patiently for the warm weather and it's finally here. This summer, it's all about refreshing colours and flattering silhouettes. Whether you're going to a backyard barbecue or taking a stroll by the beach, you can wear these trends anywhere (and on any occasion). From seashell earrings to dark denim tops, here are 5 key fashion trends that will keep you fresh and chic this summer.
5 summer trends 2018
Plaid
When we think of “plaid”, we usually associate the print with fall and winter. But this summer, the classic print is all over the fashion radar in muted pastels and lightweight fabrics. Worn with clashing prints or with a solid basic, these snappy pieces can last you all summer long — and even transition into fall.

Shell Jewellery
Remember the handmade seashell bracelets you used to get on a tropical vacation? They are totally back this summer! Elevated with a pinch of gold or silver, these dainty trinkets are now wearable by the shore or in the office. Add a pair of delicate gold studs or a statement necklace to your outfit and instantly make it scream “Summer!”.

Halter Necks
Ever since the Duchess of Sussex Meghan Markle wore her Stella McCartney halter-neck gown for her wedding reception, this elegant and subtly sexy silhouette has been more popular than ever. Whether you’re petite, curvy, or tall, this shoulder-baring neckline is flattering on everyone.

Dark Denim
Dark wash denim has stood the test of time over the years and it’s blowing up even more this summer. From embroidered tops to paper-bag trousers, we’re talking about the beloved basic with a little twist. Opt for a denim-on-denim look or pair them with a basic tee and some fun shoes. The best part is, you probably already have some dark wash jeans in your closet.

White
Keep it fresh with a clean, all-white ensemble this summer. This trend is much more wearable than you would imagine – playing with different shades and textures is key. And don’t be afraid to pair a crisp, true white with a softer, creamy ivory to mix things up. If wearing white head-to-toe is too daring, go for matching accessories that would stand out just as much.
