Happy June Readers! It went from 0 to HOT out in a matter of two seconds and with the warmer weather comes fresh new styles and patterns perfect for the amazing summer weather that is upon us. Many of these trends will keep you cool in more than one way all summer long, so read on to discover a few of my favorite summer styles for 2021.

The one-piece swimsuit: The one piece is coming in strong (especially after that long quarantine of sweatpants and eating whatever, whenever). From a practicality standpoint this suit will be your go-to for more sporty activities or swimming with the kids without you having to worry about a wardrobe malfunction. You can sport the one piece in so many different styles and colors, from solid to patterned and tye dyed. No matter what body type you have or what styles you generally prefer, you will definitely be able to find a one piece swim that suits exactly what you want for unlimited poolside fun!

Platform/Wedge Sandals: Now that we are all able to go out and grab a bite to eat with a friend, or even attend an outdoor BBQ, the platform or wedge sandals are everyone’s go-to’s for this season. More casual and comfortable than their stiletto cousins, the platform/wedge will give you that dressed up look while being reminiscent of the quarantine-comfortable vibe. Coming in flip flop, strappy sandals, and open-toes, the style possibilities are endless for this summer staple. 

Distressed/ Ripped Mom Jeans: This relaxed, comfortable and ripped style is loose enough to keep you cool for being out and about at dusk. More breathable than skinny jeans and more on-trend, pair with a casual tank or tee shirt for a backyard fire or a dinner on the patio. Light and bright washes work the best for the season, but a medium wash works as well! 

Collared white button down: Ideal for brunching, or any other style-elevated gathering, the collared white button down shirt looks great with a pair of jeans and a nice pair of shoes. Ideal for styling with bold accessories due to the neutral color. My favorite way to wear this style is with a slightly distressed, light wash pair of cutoff denim, nice sandals, and gold jewelry. I like my button down shirts fitted well, but oversized is just as on-trend and can look great with a fitted skirt or a pair of shorts! Pop on a pair of oversized shades, and you are good to go for a day out!
