Let’s look ahead to see the best summer fashion trends of 2021as the warmer months are upon us. Get ready to embrace all of the new prints, textures, colours, and fun trends poised to take over the new season!

Primetime Pastels Sweatshorts

When shopping for new seasonal buys, designers looked to ice cream shops for inspiration. Soft sorbet hues bring a little sweetness to everything, especially sweat fleeces. Sweatfleece are not only comfortable and nice on the skin, but also lightweight--perfect for the summer heat. A pale pastel palette calms the nerves and is pleasing to the eyes. Wearing candy colours isn't just for babies, everyone can pull off a cool mint or lavender to celebrate the solstice this year.

Pastel shades have been particularly popular in sweatsuits, due to the rise in sales of work from home comfort clothes. These pastel sweatshorts are perfect to wear while working from home, study, evening strolls, ice cream runs, you name it! You can even pair it with matching hoodies or sweatshirts for the monochromatic look, which brings us to the next trend!

The Magic of Monochrome Matching sets

Monochrome has taken on a life of its own over the years and has moved far away from a simple black and white outfit, with everything from suits to sweats showing up in monochrome. There’s just something about having a completely matching outfit that exudes both power and grace. From a girls night out to relaxing at home, it’s all about monochrome right now.

In a time- starved world, matching sets are the perfect summer outfit for gen z women to quickly throw on when you just don't have the time or energy to spare on looking for something to wear. It takes away the fuss of choosing an outfit and saves tremendous time while ensuring you look put together.

Dressing head to toe in a single colour may sound daunting, whether in a bold red or a subdued yellow, but a monochrome outfit takes the guesswork out of getting dressed up. With this trend, pulling together an outfit has never been easier because you don’t have to worry if two pieces coordinate.

Keep in mind, you don’t necessarily need to have pieces in the exact same shade to make this look work; a variety of shades also do the trick! If you're feeling a bit more adventurous, try adding a contrasting pop of colour in your shoes or accessories for more flare!

Bucket (Hat Girl Summer)

Speaking of accessories, the last trend to delve into today is the bucket hat trend; it's time for hat girl summer fashion! Yes, the bucket hat trend lives on—only now, it's getting even more playful. I admit, I was not a supporter of this trend, but I came to realize that bucket hats look weirdly good with anything: loungewear, blazers, dresses, mixed prints, even overalls!

Still not convinced? Bucket hats also go well with skincare! Sun safety and style can go hand in hand. Protect your skin from the sun’s harsh rays while looking great this summer. Bucket hats are perfect for the beach, a picnic, a day out with the girls, or reading on the porch. Bucket hats put a fashionable finish on countless warm-weather outfits.

If you've already got a classic white or black bucket hat I dare you to play with decals, textures, and fun prints. Think crochet, denim, floral and more! Whatever makes your bucket hat stand out will put you a-hat of the game!

Don't be afraid to try out these latest summer trends and embrace bold colours and patterns, but always remember that simple, must-have staples will establish your wardrobe's foundation.
