Summer fashion trends to look out for

As the temperature rises, so does the excitement for new summer fashion trends. From reimagined classics to bold statements, the runways have spoken, and it’s time to update your wardrobe with these must-have pieces.

Let us guide you through the top trends to look out for in summer 2023 by Glamour UK:

Low-Waist Revival

The beloved low-slung waist of the 90s is making a definitive comeback in fashion. From jeans to suiting, shorts to evening skirts, the low-rise trend is taking center stage, while our trusted high-rise styles take a summer hiatus for 2023.

Blossoming Florals

Spring’s floral trend takes on a more dramatic and three-dimensional flair next season. Flowers burst forth from shirts, adorn shoulders, and even dominate your entire torso in a display that is far from ordinary.

Sheer Elegance

Sheer fabrics have been a notable trend for several seasons, but none more so than in spring/summer 2023. Whether it’s dress overlays adding a touch of drama to a simple evening slip or more daring lingerie-inspired pieces, sheerness continues to captivate the fashion scene.

Black in Summer

Black, an unexpected but prominent hue, made its mark on the latest spring/summer runways. Of course, this color is approached with a lighter touch than usual, with skin-revealing materials like crochet and lace imparting an unexpected softness to the look.

Bohemian Rhapsody: Relaxed Boho Vibes

Channel your inner free spirit with bohemian-inspired fashion. Flowing maxi dresses, crochet tops, and fringe details are all the rage. Embrace earthy tones, tribal prints, and layered accessories for a look that exudes carefree summer vibes. Whether you’re heading to a festival or a casual day out, boho chic is the way to go.
