We may still be a month away from the summer solstice, but the warm weather, festival and wedding season, and our upcoming vacation plans already have us in the mood for a wardrobe refresh. And there are several summer trends we’re ready to cart up and wear out.
With over 20 years of industry experience, Shopbop’s Senior Fashion Director Caroline Maguire tells Refinery29 which trends she predicts will make the biggest splash this summer. From vibrant blues and statement prints to woven accessories and matching sets, there are many pieces from Shopbop that will take you from one summer celebration to the next.
Ahead, hear from Maguire and shop curated editor picks from Shopbop’s new summer campaign.
Summer Trend: Blue Crush
“For wedding season, a cobalt blue moment from Zimmermann or Veronica Beard checks every box for a summer outdoor ceremony. Blue also extends beautifully into accessories this season, with cobalt and teal bags and footwear making a major statement.”
Summer Trend: Woven Accessories
“Like the handcrafted texture of the Crafty Wovens edit, everything we’re excited about right now has this laid-back polish that just feels right for where the Shopbop customer is headed. It features open weaves and artisanal textures that have this sun-soaked, nostalgic quality while still feeling current.
For festival season, layer in woven accessories, like textured bags and sandals, to pull the whole look together. For beach days, grab a woven bag from Tory Burch or Frame and you’ve got a beach-to-lunch moment locked in.”
Summer Trend: Matching Sets
“Matching sets are having a moment, and our Breezy Set edit is delivering: coordinated tops and bottoms in lightweight fabrics that make getting dressed feel easy and put together.”
Summer Trend: Oversized Prints
“I’m especially excited about our Print Paradise edit. The oversized florals and painterly tropical motifs coming through from brands like Farm Rio and Agua Bendita are so fun and brighten any look.
For vacation, the key is mixing a bold print piece with breezy separates so you can dress up or down without overpacking. For festival dressing, I’m loving Cara Cara for bold, high-impact pieces that photograph beautifully and feel fun.”
Summer Trend: Sun-Loving Dresses
“This summer is all about effortless, feel-good dressing: pieces that look intentional without trying too hard. Sun-loving dresses are also going to be huge; clean, versatile lengths make this minimalist staple perfect on its own or layered up.”
