If you’re anything like us, your entire feed right now is flooded with cute little outfits, neutral linens, butter yellow, bows on everything, and girls looking so put together at the beach, running errands, or even just grabbing coffee. Influencers are making summer fashion feel like a full-blown lifestyle and honestly? I’m kind of here for it. From swimsuits to sundresses to going out looks, here’s everything they’re wearing this summer and how we can all romanticize our lives just a little bit more. Let’s get into it 

Influencers everywhere are turning looks from beach to brunch, and we’re here to break down every major trend you need to know. Whether you’re planning a Euro summer, staying cool at the lake, or just living your best life on your front porch, here’s what to wear. 


Bikini Breakdown: Swimwear Trends Influencers Are Obsessed With

• Crochet Everything – Handmade, boho, and festival-core. Crochet bikinis are THE moment. Bonus points for bright colors and scalloped edges—throw on some gold jewelry and you’re pool-party ready.

• Strapless and Sporty – Bandeau tops are back and giving effortless cool-girl vibes. Picture Hailey Bieber lounging on a boat somewhere with slicked-back hair and big shades.

• 3D Florals & Bows – Girly is in. Think big fabric flowers, rosettes, and sweet little bows on bikini tops and bottoms. The “coquette” aesthetic made its way to the beach.

• Retro High-Waisted Sets – 90s meets Barbie-core. High-waisted bottoms with underwire tops = flattering and a little nostalgic. Main character energy, always.


Dresses & Skirts: Light, Flowy, and Insta-Ready

• Drop Waist & Baby Doll Dresses – These flirty, flowy styles are everywhere. It’s giving European countryside with a splash of coastal cowgirl. Add cowboy boots for a ✨moment✨.

• Linen Luxe – White, beige, and pastel linen dresses are summer wardrobe staples. Style with a slick bun, chunky earrings, and a woven tote. Easy, breezy, influencer-core.

• Micro Mini Skirts – Low-rise is sneaking back in, especially in pleated or cotton styles. Influencers are pairing them with cropped tanks and oversized sunnies. Simple and hot.

• Matching Sets – Skirt and crop top duos are dominating summer fashion hauls. Throw one on and you’re ready for lunch, a date, or content creation.


Going Out Looks: It’s Giving Main Character

• Satin & Silk Slip Dresses – Chic, timeless, and easy to throw on. Dress it up with heels and layered gold necklaces or dress it down with sneakers and a denim jacket.

• Sheer & Mesh Details – This one’s for the bold girls. Mesh sleeves, sheer maxis over bodysuits—it’s daring but totally wearable when styled right.

• Backless Everything – Halter tops, crisscross straps, open-back dresses… it’s sexy without even trying. The backless trend is having its moment.

• Statement Accessories – Bright bags, metallic heels, chunky jewelry. Add one bold piece to a basic fit and watch the compliments roll in.


 Athleisure But Make It Pretty

• Balletcore Lives On – Blush tones, wrap tops, scrunchy socks, and soft mini shorts are still trending. It’s comfy meets coquette, and we’re obsessed.

• Matching Activewear Sets – Whether it’s Alo, SET Active, or your fav boutique, soft pastel sets are influencer-approved. Add a trucker hat and a green juice—instant fit check.

• Oversized Tees + Biker Shorts Combo – Still a summer fav. Elevate it with a slicked-back ponytail, gold hoops, and your favorite sneakers for the ultimate laid-back look.


Summer Staples You’ll See Everywhere

• Chunky Flip Flops & Platform Sandals – Add a little height, stay comfy. These babies are coming with us from beach to rooftop.

• Tiny Shoulder Bags – Colorful, shiny, or just plain fun. Influencers are ditching the tote and going tiny again (for the aesthetic, not the storage).

• Silk Hair Scarves & Big Claw Clips – Effortless, girly, and heat-wave friendly. Pop one on and your outfit just works.

• Vintage Sunnies – The 90s and early 2000s influence is real. Think oval frames, colorful lenses, or anything that screams Y2K icon.


Final Thoughts

This summer, fashion is all about being confident, playful, and true to your vibe. Whether you’re on vacation or just vibing at home, the key is to wear what makes you feel good. Influencers are proving that comfort and cuteness can coexist—and we’re absolutely here for it.
