8 Summer Trends for Those with Classic Style
8 Summer Trends for Those with Classic Style
When you don’t like pretzels and excessively bright colors
As someone trying to infuse classic style into my dressing and shopping habits, I always struggle to find a good balance between a current and timeless look. However, I’ve learned over time that in each season, there are always a handful of staple items that are fashionable but not too trendy. Some popular clothes are in style and seem to magically disappear after a few weeks or months, while others keep coming back, making them a much better investment.
This is especially true during summer when every year, invariably, dozens of staple items appear in stores, on social media, and on the streets. Some are inherently classic, while others wear out so quickly that sometimes we can’t even buy them. But today we decided to focus on the former.
If you’re wondering how to create a capsule wardrobe for this and the coming summers, we’re on the right path. At the peak of the season, you still have time to further enhance your style without spending a lot of money. With our valuable tips, you’ll create a list that will help you style more easily and save money on items that will quickly go out of fashion.

5. Linen Pants

Linen pants are our favorite alternative to jeans. In the summer, they are more than necessary when you need to look elegant and can’t wear skirts or shorts. The soft fabric allows for the necessary freshness to penetrate the heat while maintaining a flawless style. Once you accept that linen pants will wrinkle again, no matter how much you iron them, they will become a favorite part of your summer wardrobe.
6. Maxi Skirts

Delicate necklaces and earrings have been all over our social media lately, and while buying a new accessory is always nice, I bet we all have something in our drawer that fits the trend. This is because trendy jewelry always comes back!
