Six Fashion Trends for Spring/Summer 2019

As the weather warms up, it is time to start prepping for your summer plans. This is the best time of year to take a vacation, and you will certainly want to be perfectly dressed for trip photos. With spring and summer comes blissful sunshine, all-day pool parties, and—of course—a new wardrobe. This is your time to have fun with clothing and accessories. From vivid colors to fresh silhouettes, we will take you through the top trends of the runway for the spring/summer 2019 season.

 

Tie-Dye

Remember psychedelic swirls? They’re back in a big way. Surprisingly enough, this totally tubular look has actually become very high-end and shockingly cool. Some of the world’s biggest designers like 3.1 Phillip Lim and MSGM have featured tie-dye patterns in their warm-weather collections.

 

What’s so lovable about tie-dye is that each piece appears slightly different. There’s something one-of-a-kind about this pattern, and you can even make it dressy and very sophisticated. Check out Prabal Gurung’s interpretation in pink-and-purple silk charmeuse, which turns tie-dye into a true luxury item.

 

The New Shorts

Longer-length shorts were very popular on Spring/Summer runways, but they are not your typical Bermuda shorts. There is something refined and dressed-up about shorts that go to the knee, and when a print comes into play, shorts are unexpectedly fun. Look to 6397 for knee-length shorts in playful, punchy prints. Let the shorts be the star and wear them with a simple, solid-colored top.

 

Patchwork

If you find yourself searching for where to “buy women western wear online,” you are certainly onto something. Many western-inspired patchwork pieces were seen in Paris and New York fashion shows for this season. The vibe is folksy, bohemian, and cowgirl-esque, but in a new way that feels modern and fun.

 

Look to designers like Salvatore Ferragamo and Alice + Olivia. Both have incorporated patchwork into their collections in ultra-bold ways. This trend works well for clothing, bags, or shoes—each item can make its own fashion statement.

 

Lavender

As ultraviolet was Pantone’s Color of the Year for 2018, it is no surprise that this season saw a lot of its spring-y cousin, lavender. Count on lavender to look stunning both as a flower or as a clothing item; it really is the color that just unavoidably says spring.

 

This color was a regular shade for spring/summer runways, and its softness is perfectly suited for the hotter temperatures. But lavender doesn’t have to just be for tops and dresses. Instead, for an interesting twist, try lavender pants—like this pair from SMYTHE.

 

Terracotta Shades

Dressing for the warmer temperatures is not always about pastel tones and bright hues. While lavender has its perks as a delicate and pretty shade for the season, this time of year is also an excellent opportunity to wear warm-toned, deep shades like rusty orange, mustard yellow, or wine red. These highly saturated, sometimes terracotta-like colors work well for separates or one-piece looks, like this lace-up romper from RVCA.

 

Sunhats and Bucket Hats

Let’s face it: the fashion world takes hats very seriously, as this piece can often make or break an entire look. It is no surprise that the spring/summer runways were home to oversized sunhats and even bold, ’90s-inspired bucket hats. With these hat silhouettes, you will get the best of both worlds: a blend of style and sun protection. Rag & Bone nailed the bucket hat in a bleached-out canvas that feels perfect for the balmy days ahead.

 

Spring/Summer Recap

From exciting new colors to daring patterns and prints, the hot temperatures ahead offer the opportunity to enjoy your wardrobe and experiment with the latest trends. With these in mind, you will be well-prepared for on-season style during your upcoming vacation, day trip, or even a backyard barbeque. Don’t forget to pack the sunscreen!
