You may have a few go-to spring and summer outfit formulas you turn to, but if you’re looking to switch it up, you’ve landed in the right spot. I scrolled through the Instagram feeds of cool fashion people to curate an edit of on-trend ensembles worth trying.
The looks below are easy in nature yet quite forward. Basically, if you try one of the outfits, you’ll look like a fashion person who hired a personal stylist. Keep scrolling for visual inspiration of ensembles featuring key pieces that are relevant this season, including petal pushers, slip skirts, relaxed tailoring, and more.
Yes, pedal pushers are back, and they’re seriously trending among the fashion crowd. Style these cropped pants with a relaxed button-up shirt and flip-flops for a modern look. A trench coat adds a forward touch if it’s still chilly where you are.
