Athletic-Chic

Think, tenniscore! Sporty and preppy styles have come together to create one of the most coveted fashion trends of summer 2024. So, how does one rock the athletic chic look? That’s easy- layer up your fave athletic-inspired go-to’s and pair them with tailored outerwear options and smart accessories to make them more convenient for everyday wear. This ribbed-knit bodycon dress from SHEIN is the ultimate preppy yet sporty-inspired base for bringing the athletic-chic trend to life. Available in multiple colourways, this dress can easily be dressed up or down depending on the occasion. This embroidered top from the brand is also a great option because it features a similar sporty yet sophisticated design, offering a hint of quiet luxury to any summer fit.  

If you’re looking for more functional go-to’s, Alo Yoga has a ton of fun designs that have been crafted to bring the tenniscore-inspired, athletic-chic look to life. For instance, this Airbrush Streamlined Dress features an A-line style that’s practical and comes complete with built-in shorts and a shelf bra for a convenient fit.

Coach is also nailing the Athletic-Chic look with these sneakers, which feature the brand’s puffy signature look combined with suede and nylon detailing. The retro design is preppy yet fashion-forward – plus, they’re super functional. 

Colourful Accessories

Colourful bracelets have been making a comeback this summer and we’re all about bright accessories adding a much-needed pop of vibrancy to any look. This Roxanne Assoulin Qixi ILY Rainbow Bracelet from Holt Renfrew is the perfect addition to any arm-candy stack because it features a comfortable, slip-on design with colourful beads spelling out ILY. It’s part of the brand’s “Only at Holts” collection featuring different style variations. 

Lisa Gozlan believes that a smile is the best accessory you can wear- literally! Any Happy Face bracelet from the brand, like this pavé style- embodies the colourful accessory trend and can be used to instantly elevate any look. Lisa Gozlan pieces add a vibrant pop to any outfit and effortlessly brighten up your appearance. Plus, they look great stacked with other eye-catching pieces from the brand!  

If you’re more into colourful rings, this splurge-worthy Rosecliff Pink Sapphire Stackable Ring from Haverhill is the perfect way to make a subtle statement. It can be worn alone or stacked alongside your other fave accessories for a more versatile look, allowing you to easily experiment with new combinations. As a result, these rings are a playful accessory choice that are right on trend.

Mesh Shoes

Mesh shoes are one of the hottest summer shoe trends of the moment. Giving wearers the ability to merge comfort with style, mesh shoes ensure breathability when worn and offer a clean, fresh take on typical ballet flat or heel designs. The Elyia flats from Call It Spring are a wardrobe staple if you’re looking to rock the mesh shoe trend for the remainder of the season. Featuring a ventilated, airy silhouette and top buckle detailing, obsessed is an understatement! These will pair perfectly with everything from pants to dresses. 

If you’re looking for a more glam mesh shoe option, ALDO’s Marciana features a stunning mesh and rhinestone combo that’s right on-trend and makes for the ultimate night-out look. 

Brat Girl Summer 

Brat Summer is taking over summer 2024 and we’re not mad about it! Offering a playful take on Charli XCX’s album, Brat, Brat Girl Summer is all about living it up and being confidently authentic- with a twist! Brat Girl Summer fashion is grungy, street-style-chic and features elements of lime green, micro leather, and Y2K silhouettes that you can have fun styling, and incorporating into your own wardrobe. For instance, these INGILIZ patent leather sandals, this Windsor mesh strappy dress, and these LAMAARQUE x Revolve Annaise Hot Shorts all embody the popular Brat Girl Summer trend. 

When it comes to jewelry, Pandora makes it easy to have a customizable Brat Girl Summer arm candy stack. Our go-to? This Green Mini Murano Glass charm, which is the ultimate Brat Girl-inspired piece to add to your fave Pandora charm bracelet.

White Dresses

Whether you’re embarking on a Euro 2024 summer vacay or are heading to dinner in town for a GNO, a little white dress never fails to make a timeless fashion statement. This is why white dresses have been such a popular trend to style this summer. If you’re going the glam route, this embellished dress from Oh Polly is a must-have occasionwear piece for the remaining summer season. However, if you’re in the market for a more casual but chic option, you can go for this white dress from SHEIN, this boat neck rib mini dress from Dynamite, or this short patchwork dress from Maje. The best part about this trend is that you can cater it to your own personal style.
