We’re heading into the warm weather, and it’s time to cut loose and show off what we’ve got. We no longer have to be bundled up for the cold, so this time of year is great for new fashion trends and having some fun. But, of course, you don’t have to be out in a plain old t-shirt and a pair of jeans. There are lots of options that will work for any weather and any budget. So here are some spring and summer fashion trends to try this year.

Romper
The best thing about a romper is that it’s simple. You wake up, toss it on, and you’re ready. There’s no planning an outfit or making sure it’s steamed or pressed. A romper is best worn in the spring because you can wear one in any weather. You can have it all on its own when it’s hot, but throw on a jacket and wear some tights underneath if it’s cool. You can also transition from office wear if it’s paired with a blazer to relaxing dinner and drink wear if you wear it by itself.
Cutouts
Cutouts were gaining steam last summer; you should expect them to come fully into their own this year. Lots of celebrities hopped on this trend. One of the defining characteristics this year will be boldness. From long elegant pieces to minis and midis, there are many options to choose from. The best thing about cutouts is the sophisticated sexiness they can offer. You can show as little or as much leg as you want, but it will still leave people wanting more. Sultry and demure all at once.
Low Rise
The low-rise jean was a staple of the late ’90s, early 2000,s 20-something wardrobe. Mini skirts couldn’t get higher, so they took a little off the other end. Jeans didn’t show off much, so they lowered the waist. Nostalgia is big in 2023, and expect many low rise bottoms out on the streets. This is another choice that could be sexy without being too revealing. Show a hint of midriff and not much else. Better hit the gym!
Oversized Blazers
This is another trend that is straight from the early 2000s and is paired nicely with the previous one. Oversized blazers are a great spring piece, but you’ll have to be a little bit adventurous to take the plunge. Pair a long blazer with your low-rise jeans or even a skirt. You can have a cami or blouse up top. Choose pastels for your color palette, and you have an outfit that you can wear through the spring in any weather.
Metallics
Usually, metallics are seen during the fall and winter. They give off an industrial vibe that jives with the feeling of a cold winter’s night or a crisp autumn evening. However, metallics will show up this spring in some colors reflecting the season. For instance, gold and silver skirts and dresses will really draw the eye. Metallics are usually heavier in fabric and in look, but there are now lighter materials that will keep you cool on a warm day. Decorations are also in, with sequins and bedazzling expected to play a big part in summer fashion. Try a gold maxi skirt with a white blouse and black slingback shoes for your outfit.
Matching Sets
We are heading back to your youth when mom and dad would dress you up in matching clothes for a photo shoot or to visit grandma. Except now, it looks great. Monochrome is very in right now, and you can buy a set together or mix and match. Bold colors are the way to go, and again try mixing the revealing with the subtle. For instance, pair modest dresses with a cami, tank top, or cut-off t-shirt. If it’s cool out, you can go with trousers and a matching turtleneck. The sky’s in terms of the type of clothes, but make sure they’re matching.
Denim
Many of the trends on this list draw from nostalgia and a retro feel. This trend is no different. Denim is back in a big way, and it’s great because denim can be worn anywhere, and there are more options than ever. Do you want wide legs? A puddle hemline? Slouchy trousers? You can choose any one of these looks. Don’t forget a jacket, or even shoes. A classic pair of jeans can be paired with anything for a clean and casual look. However, this year, look for skirts, dresses, and tops to be very popular. Relaxed looks are in this year, much like they were last year. We have gotten used to lounging around comfortably at home during lockdowns, and that aesthetic is here for a little while longer, even though we are leaving the house more.
Sheer
Sheer clothing is the exact opposite of denim. You probably can’t wear it for shopping, but it looks great at an event or even at work if you dress it right. We can give credit to the rise of sheer clothing to the pandemic. Yes, we got used to lounging around, but now that we feel more free, there’s an urge to show off and flaunt what you have. Sheer clothes allow us to do that. A sheer dress with bralette and biker shorts is sexy and alluring. Go with a dark fabric so that you reveal only a hint of what’s underneath. It will be darker by the bust and midsection. Strap on some bold colored shoes to further draw the eye, and you’ll have a sophisticated and stunning look.
As you can see, this spring and summer there are a lot more options than your standard t-shirt and shorts. Many of these trends work together. For example, you can wear a matching denim outfit. If you want to look amazing this year, then try out some of these trends.
