Fresh Summer Outfit Ideas to Start Planning for Now
2024SS in the fashion world promises to be exciting. A bright and undeniably stylish combination of innocence and boldness, comfort and expression, an existence outside of gender boundaries, but at the same time in a feminine and romantic environment awaits us. Didn't understand anything? Don't panic. Below are some fresh and trendy summer outfits that will clear things up.
Open Belly
If you're thinking about skinny jeans or crop tops, leave them behind this summer. Fashion houses dictate: today, shirts, short cardigans and suit vests with unbuttoned buttons rule the fashion Olympus. Let them expose your stomach, thereby giving a special piquancy to the outfit.
You can do this not only with shirts but also with cardigans and suit vests. For this trendy summer outfit, you don't even need to buy anything special, just undo the buttons on a shirt or cardigan.
Open shoulders
A trend from the 90's, which is already loved by girls all over the world. If you missed it too, we hasten to inform you: that it is coming back into our lives again. Tops, dresses, and sweaters with open shoulders can already be seen on the celebrities. For example, Gigi Hadid and Suki Waterhouse do not change them. This trend looks feminine and delicate, daring and sexy at the same time. After all, this model of knitwear shows one of the most beautiful parts of a woman's body: the neck and collarbones.
Lingerie style
In fact, Miu Miu set the trend for conspicuous underwear last year. Do you remember how designers put knitted underwear over tights, depriving the models of skirts? Well, now the intimate things from our closets are losing their label of "bottoms" and becoming the most fashionable items. Don't be afraid to overdo it and boldly show off the most beautiful details of your lingerie. Let them peek out from under sweaters and jeans, turning you into the most stylish girl.
Layering
Although layering is considered a fall/winter trend, this time trendsetters are seamlessly bringing it into a spring/winter base. Wear a top with a shirt, combine a jacket with a raincoat, tie silk scarves over jeans, or wear skirts - don't be afraid to experiment!
Dress and balloon skirt
This trend burst into our lives last summer and immediately fell in love with many girls. To some, the balloon reminded us of retro style, and it inspired a pleasant theatrical spirit. Either way, airy dresses and skirts became a real hit, which migrated to the new season. The puffy element remains the main star of any image and gives it a special tenderness.
Stripe
"Striped Flight," is not only a great Soviet movie but also a classic of the genre in terms of prints. In Spring 2024, horizontal and vertical stripes of various widths and shades appear on everything from outerwear to accessories. By the way, don't forget that stripes can be used to visually correct your figure: vertical stripes slim you down, while horizontal stripes add volume where you lack it.
Thin belt
Another trend that many girls love is a belt made of thin leather cord. Previously, we gave little importance to the belt: someone did not use it in his closet, and someone used it to fix baggy jeans, taken from the men's closet. Such an accessory can be tied over a jacket, coat, or dress, thereby emphasizing the waist area. Also, the lace can be used instead of a belt in jeans, pants, and skirts. Lacing options with a metal buckle look interesting.
Low waist
If you are one of those who hoped that the low waist trend would disappear by itself, we have to disappoint you - it is gaining momentum. It's not just pants, jeans and skirts. Even in outerwear designers are trying to shift the waistline. And if, oh horror, a jacket, or bomber jacket will hide the waistline, a belt - as at the Louis Vuitton show - will help to put everything in its (understated) place.
Capris
If we generalize a little, we can note that designers offer us the maximum of alternatives to the usual pants. Among the huge variety of shorts, skirts, leggings, and coats, there is a clear trend for shorter models of pants - in particular capris and breeches. Recall that the key difference between them is in length: capris traditionally to the middle of the lower leg, and breeches are just below the knee.
The main problem with shortened pants is that paradoxically they visually shorten the legs of some people, while others elongate them. Such contradictory results are obtained because it all depends on the unique combination of features of the figure, the cut of the pants, and ultimately the balance of different proportions. For example, mid-rise breeches combined with sneakers may look bad on the same woman, but a set of capris pants or high-waisted pants styled with loafers will be just right as a summer outfit. Unfortunately, there's no one-size-fits-all recipe, which means you'll have to try it out for yourself.

Summer Fashion Tips That Will Never Go out of Style
Trends are great. And we try to follow them, of course. But, as they say, some things are fashionable and some things last forever. And it is much more sensible to choose new things with an eye not for one season, but at least for several years. So, before rushing out to find the hottest summer trends, we'd build a strong "base" that won't go out of style in the foreseeable future. Here are some items that will cover your basic summer needs. You can also add something more edgy to them for your chic summer outfits.
Blazer
A voluminous, even boyfriend-style blazer is one of those things that few closets can do without in the summer. It will always help you when you have nothing to wear. A blazer can be worn with jeans or pants, as well as thrown on top of a dressy dress, to knock off a little of his hunch. In summer you should choose models of light cut and light colors with light fabrics, for example, white, beige, or light gray.
T-shirt
This item may seem obvious but note that many girls do not pay it due attention. A well-fitting, moderately voluminous white T-shirt with sleeves of the right length (ideally up to the middle of the forearm or slightly above the elbow) is the number one purchase. Especially when it comes to the spring/summer season. After all, nothing simpler and yet more stylish than a white T-shirt and classic blue jeans has not yet been invented.
Light-colored pants
If you choose only one pants for the summer, then let it be a model of light color and strict cut - for example, with pleats on the waistband. Such cut slims elongate legs, and suit girls with almost any type of figure.
Boyfriend style shirt
Shirt, as if taken from a man's closet - another indispensable summer thing. It looks great with jeans, and with pants, and with skirts, and over T-shirts and T-shirts. The classics are white, blue, and striped models. But you can experiment with the color if you want.
Slip dress
A silk strap dress is the dress to choose if you don't know what to wear for your summer outfits. Wear it even with stiletto sandals, or with flip-flops, it will be equally beautiful and stylish everywhere by the way. And by fall you can use the slip dress as a skirt, wearing a voluminous knitted sweater on top in it gets cold at night.

How to Dress for Hot Weather if You Hate Summer Clothes?
It seems that summer has finally had the grace to begin. However, not everyone is happy about the heat. If you don't like open clothes and hide in the shade most of the day, we tell you how to dress comfortably for hot days in the city.
👍Loose-fitting clothes
In hot weather, you want as little clothing as possible to touch your body. Loose-fitting clothes look stylish, and give room to the body without exposing it too much. For example, you can choose straight-cut shirts and T-shirts, wide-legged pants, and robes as your summer outfit.
Shorts, too, can be adapted for office and city closets. Just opt for roomy knee-length Bermudas. There are even suits with bermudas designed for the summer office. A loose strappy dress can be complemented with a white T-shirt: keep the space and close your shoulders and chest.
Dresses. These are probably the most comfortable clothes for hot weather. Free silhouettes are in fashion now, so feel free to choose trapeze dresses, tiered models, straight shirt dresses, and so on. These models are very comfortable, in addition, when the street is cooler, the free dress can easily be turned into a fitted with a belt.
A white maxi tiered dress is a great choice for your summer outfit as well. Despite the presence of long sleeves, the dress will not be hot, due to the color and free cut. But almost all parts of the body will be protected from the scorching sun.
👍Breathable fabrics in pastel colors
Dark colors heat up quickly in the sun - we remember that from high school. A black T-shirt may be made of the lightest fabric, but outside an air-conditioned room, it will only cause you misery. Unlike, for example, a white dress. Therefore, in the heat it is better to wear clothes of pastel colors: blue, powder pink, mint.
Pay attention to the fabric. The white top will not bring salvation from the heat if sewn from polyester. The most popular breathable materials are cotton, linen, viscose, and natural silk. There are also modal and lyocell - fabrics derived from cellulose. They also allow air to pass through. Clothing made of ramie - a material made of a special kind of nettle - is also suitable. However, clothes made of this material are more expensive. A mixture of breathable fabrics and synthetics is acceptable. However it is better to avoid things that contain more than 20% artificial fiber.
