I love waking up to the sound of the birds chirping joyfully at the feeder and a cool, morning breeze flowing in through the open window, hints of sunscreen lingering in the air. These mornings make it so easily to climb out of bed and find a fresh, airy outfit. This summer, I’ve found myself reaching for pieces that feel light and effortless – think soft tones, warm neutrals and timeless prints that make getting dressed feel like a treat rather than a task.
Here are a few summer outfit trends I’m absolutely loving this year:
Neutrals with a Soft Touch
There’s something so airy and divine about soft neutrals. They remind me of long summer days spent at the beach and cool evenings lounging on the patio. Think soft pastel denim in warm sand, oat or tan-coloured tanks, breezy white and cream blouses, and off-white cotton sets that somehow feel both elevated and laid-back. These pieces are endlessly mixable and always look polished.
My Top Picks:
Linen Mid-Rise Tapered-Leg Jogger Pant | RW&CO.
Women’s pull-on pant | COLORI – Made in Canada!
Crew neck sleeveless fitted dress | Tristan – Made in Canada!
Stripes that Go with Everything
I love that the stripe trend is having its renaissance! They can be styled up or down and, when paired correctly, can elevate an outfit from bland to classy. From combining a linen slack with a navy-and-white tee for a classic nautical look, to matching a wide pastel striped elbow-length sleeve with a paper-bag pant, the possibilities are endless. And let’s not forget a cute striped denim wedge paired with a white ankle-torn jean!
My Top Picks:
Women’s striped blouse | COLORI – Made in Canada!
Striped Short-Sleeve Linen Dress with Shirt Collar | RW&CO.
Pia Ribbed Tank Top White | Dynamite
Annamarie Navy Women’s Wedges | ALDO Canada
Pastel Denim, Please!
This year, I’m saying “Yes!” to all those light blue and pastel straight-leg denim options out there. Blush pinks, sky blues and yes, even lavender are replacing my dark skinny Levi’s this summer. Simply style them with a basic white tea and a pair of your favourite sandals and you’re in business! Talk about effortless style in under 5 minutes!
My Top Picks:
Original Trucker Jacket – Tan | Levi’s® CA
Stretch colourful jean Fit: Slim leg, high rise | Contemporaine | Regular Waist | Simons
Soft Floral Dresses
You all know that I’m a huge fan of all things garden and flowers. Well, my wardrobe is no exception! This summer, I’m completely in love with soft, flowy dresses with tiny floral patterns and watercolour prints. These dresses are the perfect combination of modern simplicity and vintage class. They’re breezy, romantic and down-right adorable!
My Top Picks:
Sage Empire Bust Maxi Dress Pink | Dynamite
Women’s floral maxi dress | COLORI | SHIZU – Colori
These four trends are so easy and beautiful – perfect for those long evening strolls and Sunday market excursions. What styles are you loving this season?
