Summer Style Guide
Summer is officially here and we couldn’t be more excited to share our 2021 Summer Style Guide today. It’s time to throw away the sweatpants you’ve been living in for the last year and pull out your credit card for a little online summer shopping spree. Do you feel like you’ve been out of the loop on what’s trending in fashion lately? Have no fear, that’s where we come in, and we have something for every age, body type, and style preference.
Bike Shorts of the Summer
Bike shorts are trending now more than ever because of the ease of styling them in multiple ways. One pair of bike shorts can make for many outfits. You can embrace this trend traditionally as fitness wear or style it as celebrities do but at an affordable price point. You can go from casual to sporty to trendy within a matter of seconds. Our favorite piece to pair on the top of a bike short is a crop top and an oversized button-down. Swapping out the crop top or button-down to diversify the outfit and keep the entire look affordable and on-trend. Here are some of our favorite flattering bike shorts.

The Shoes of the Summer
You can’t style your bike shorts without an accompanying shoe and no matter what direction you’re going in, sneakers are always the answer to wearing this trend correctly. Right now, we’re loving Nike’s Air Force Ones or their High Top Blazer Sneaker to top off this look. Not only are these shoes extremely comfortable, but they flatter your legs in the best way possible when wearing bike shorts. We also love these shoes because they’re unisex. So if you like matching your partner, these are great shoes for you to go in on together because they will love them too. Aside from sneakers, we have to mention the latest craze in the “sliders category” and those are the infamous “Cloudy Slides.” We’ll admit, these don’t scream “fashionable” by any means, but they are the most comfortable shoe you could ever have, which is why most people are forgetting that aspect and choosing to walk on air. Our suggestion, buy them to wear as house slippers.

The Jewelry of the Summer
No summer outfit is complete without complementary pieces of jewelry and it’s all about pops of color in the summer months. In celebration of Pride Month, we’re loving these rainbow earrings and bracelets for Delicora. As we all know, fashion tends to repeat itself, so be on the lookout for belly chains paired with skirts and jeans, ankle bracelets, and toe rings. It’s all coming back, it’s all coming back to me now…

The Swimwear of Summer
Trends in swimwear are definitely something that changes drastically every summer and this year it’s all about asymmetric fits in one-pieces and bikinis. It’s like this style was invented to complement every single body type that exists. There is something for everyone, which is why we love it so much and want everyone to know about it. The biggest trend in swimwear for summer 2021 is the “one-shoulder” and “criss-cross” top. A bathing suit is nothing without an accompanying cover-up and we’re seeing split leg pants and long skirts paired with this summer's most fashionable swimwear.

The Skirt of the Summer
We’re combining two trends into one category because that’s what you can do when summer rolls around. As we mentioned in the swimwear section of this article, it’s all about that asymmetrical look and that especially applies to skirts. Insert a nautical theme and a white tee and you have THE casual look of the summer, especially as the 4th of July weekend approaches.
