The Summer Must Haves Of 2018: Are You Prepared?

Summer is now in full force, and with that comes all the new trends that the season brings! Every year we are met with a slew of bright, colourful accessories and styles to try out for the summer, and this year is no different. If you want to stand out and stay ahead of the trends, then check out the summer must haves of 2018!

1. Straw Circle Bags

Straw circle bags are everywhere this summer, as they can make every outfit look beach-ready. These bags are perfect for carrying around when travelling, as they are quite small and the cross-body strap makes it easy to go hands free. The brown woven style is a classic, but there are also black and colourful options for those wanting to branch out. This is one of the summer must haves that is already a hit.

2. Mesh Shopper Totes

This summer, trends are taking reference from past eras. One big example is the comeback of mesh shopper totes. While they’re not exactly practical, they add a quirky, laid-back appeal to any outfit. If you want to use this tote and avoid all your stuff falling out, invest in a small clear purse to place inside the tote, where you can put all your important small items.

3. Fruit Earrings

Channel some serious summer vibes by trying out the fruit earring trend! These earrings are a must-have for summer and can add some fun to any outfit. Try opting for cherry earrings, which will add a quirky, vintage vibe to your look and also add a bright pop of red to any outfit. These fruity earrings are summer must haves to add something extra to your ensemble.

4. Fun Socks

This trend is not just a summer must have of 2018, but has actually been creeping up on us for some time. News flash: this trend is here to stay. Lately, lots of bloggers and ‘grammers have been seen styling their outfits with fun and colourful socks peeking through. This would definitely be worth trying out in the summer as it’s an easy way to add colour to an otherwise bland look.

5. Button-down Dresses

Want an easy, breezy option this summer? This must-have dress is for you. Throw it on and head out for a super effortless look. The button down details add some interest to the outfit and make it look like you tried harder than you actually did. This is the perfect dress for summer, so make sure you’re not without it.

6. Yellow Everything

Just as florals are for spring, summer is the perfect time to rock different shades of yellow. Yellow has been popping up all over the runway and in shops this summer. Mustard, sunflower, pastel, there are so many shades to choose from. Next time you’re out shopping for a top, dress, or even a pair of jeans, buy it in yellow!

7. Sporty Style

Summer may have you thinking of flowy skirts and dresses, but did you know that sporty items are a must-have for summer this year? Track shorts, joggers and loose-fitting trousers with sporty piping are definitely trending right now, so make sure to add something sporty to your summer wardrobe for the ultimate casual vibes.

8. Mules

There’s just something so easy and fuss-free about slipping your feet into sandals for the summer. For the laziest among us, mules are a must-have. Find a pair of mid-heel mules and you’ll be able to take these sandals from day to night. If you buy one pair of sandals this summer, let them be mules! These are the summer must haves that will never go out of style.

9. Cropped, Flared Denim

It goes without saying that the denim trend that took everyone by storm this year is here to stay for summer! Cropped, wide-leg denim is a more relaxed, cool fit to rock in the summer, and will keep you feeling comfortable yet looking super stylish. Opt for some in white washes or fun colours to take your jeans to the next level.

10. Tie-front Styles

For a sweet, girly look that isn’t just your typical sundress, try going for tie-front styles this summer. Why not try a tie-front cropped top with shorts for an easy beach look? Or, if you want to amp it up for night time, go for a tie-front midi dress. This style is a must-have for trendsetters this summer, and also gives you a chance to show off your toned summer bod!
