Every summer, we fall in the same trap. Fashion gurus tell us what to expect for the season, influencers bombard our feeds with endless “trends,” and fashion houses drop their collections all at once. Before we know it, we get lost in the fashion noise, and yes, we end up in pyjamas anyways. But without further ado, here’s the ultimate recap of the season’s biggest trends, colour combos, and patterns that seem here to stay (and you have our word for it.)
Lace
The weather is getting hotter, and so are our wardrobes. Lace is taking a step-back from its usual delicate vibe, and opting for a modern, bold and casual look. Find it under sheer layers, sitting softly on casual tops, or even taking centerstage in maxi dresses. Safe to say, lace is in for delicate yet casual summer outfits.
Polka Dots
The vintage pattern just got rebranded. Fashion houses are moving away from the classic black-and-white variations, with other colour combos in the mix. Think yellow, browns and blues dotted all over your clothes this season.
Maximalist Designs
Forget minimalism, we’re going extra this summer. Be it bold prints, statement pieces or expressive designs, we are ditching the clean-girl, quiet luxury wardrobe for a more expressive, experimental style. One way to put it: we are going all out.
Bold Silhouettes
Fashion is rethinking the typical proportions, ditching it and opting for fits that give a striking visual balance. Cropped jackets with balloon-pants, or a maxi dress with a dropped waist-line, “flattering” silhouettes no longer exist.
Colour Blocking
This summer’s palette? Colours opposite on the colour wheel. Instead of matching, the fashion world decided that wearing contrasting colours is the go-to this season. Bold, colourful and visually striking? Yes, please.
Scarves
Scarves are no longer seen over our necks, they’re draping over our waists too. With basic tees and low-waist pants, patterned scarves are adding a modern touch to even the most basic of outfits.
Whether you’re in it for Pinterest-coded looks or simply curious about what will take over MENA’s brands this season, you now know that this summer’s fashion is set to be bold, unapologetic, and all about being experimental.
