Summer Trend 2023: Bermuda Shorts


There’s always room in our drawers for cutoffs and hotpants, but if you’re looking for some real versatility this season, Bermuda shorts are your best bet. If you need proof, both Chanel and Tom Ford included the versatile knee-length design in their spring/summer collections. Style the breezy bottom with a button-down for days at the office, then swap the shirt out for a bikini top on your days off.Photo (left to right): Courtesy of Tom Ford, Chanel, Givenchy

Summer Trend 2023: Mini Fit-and-Flare Dresses



Considering styles from the ‘90s and Y2K have already made their comebacks, it’s only fair that the 2010s are next — which means it’s time to make room in your closet for a fit-and-flare dress. Summer 2023’s version is super short, just like the mini collared option that popped up at Loewe, making it the perfect pick for 80-degree weather and up.Photo (left to right): Courtesy of Ludovic de Saint Sernin, Loewe, Giambattista Valli

Summer Trend 2023: Puff Slides



If we had to pick a favorite summer shoe, it would be a slide sandal for how easy to slip on right as you’re heading out the door. For 2023, the footwear trend has become a bit more elevated — literally. Platform options that were voluminous all the way around were all the rage at Proenza Schouler, Fendi, and more, and proved to pair just as well with bikinis as they do with sparkly dresses.Photo (left to right): Courtesy of Fendi, Monica Feudi/Proenza Schouler, JW Anderson

Summer Trend 2023: The Little Mermaidcore



Blame it on the excitement around one of summer’s most anticipated films, the live-action version of The Little Mermaid, but mermaidcore is everywhere this season. It’s up to you how you want to interpret the trend, whether it’s by opting for Dior-inspired fishnet material or rocking a purple and seafoam color scheme, similar to what we spotted at Prabal Gurung.Photo (left to right): Courtesy of Valentino, Dan Lecca/Prabal Gurung, Cynthia Rowley

Throw it back to the days of playing dress-up as a kid with Coach’s golden jelly bag or channel your inner Taylor Swift, since the singer was recently spotted toting a silver, chainmail Paco Rabanne purse.Photo (clockwise from top left): Courtesy of Cecilie Bahnsen, Simkhai, Coach

Underwear as outerwear has been trending for a few months, but summer 2023 is perhaps the best time to test it out for yourself (without risking goosebumps).

Instead, opt for pieces with lace panels that give off the same vibe as lingerie.Photo (left to right): Courtesy of Christopher Kane, Dion Lee, David Spector/Collina Strada
