Summer can easily be one of the toughest seasons to shop for. After all, when it’s swelteringly hot out, it can be nearly impossible to find pieces that look on-trend while still beating the heat. So what’s a fashionista to do? Luckily for you, we’ve rounded up 7 of the summer’s hottest pieces (and all of them totally work in the rising temps)! If you do any shopping for your summer wardrobe, add one of these to your closet to majorly up your summer style game!
1. A-line skirt
Faux Suede A-Line Skirt ($40, ASOS)
ICYMI, the '70s are back in a major way. The fashion set’s favorite way to wear the decade? The universally flattering A-line skirt, preferably in faux suede or corduroy!
2. Flat sandals
Studded Sandals ($79.90, Zara)
Because there’s nothing more comfortable than slipping into a pair of flat sandals. The studs on these make them super fashion-forward, too!
3. Culottes
Leather Look Culottes ($68, Topshop)
Culottes: the only pair of comfy leather pants you’ll ever own. Wear them with a printed cami or crop top for a simple summer outfit!
4. Shirtdress
Multi-Stripe Shirt Dress ($27.90, Forever 21)
The easy, casual vibes of a shirtdress make it the perfect piece to slip on when you have zero idea what to wear (and absolutely no time to think about it).
5. Body chain
Draped Ladder Body Chain ($6, Charlotte Russe)
Equally perfect over your favorite summer sundress and your bikini, a statement-making body chain is a summer style must.
6. Fringe crop top
Fringe Sleeveless Top ($52, Nordstrom)
You don’t actually need to be headed to a music festival this summer to dress the part—we love a fringe crop top for any occasion.
7. Off-the-shoulder top
Awning Cold Shoulder Top ($19.99, Urban Outfitters)
Remember when we said the '70s were back? This breezy off-the-shoulder top looks great paired with that A-line skirt.
