I don't know about you, but my mind is officially in summer mode. Once it hit 70 degrees for the first time, I immediately swapped out my boots for sandals and threw my chunky knits into storage. Booking flights, trips to the beach, and basking in warm weather is all I'm dreaming about and ofc, that includes what I'll be wearing. If you're anything like me, you probably have already begun to build up your summer wardrobe but if you haven't yet (or want to revamp), I got you!

This summer, we'll be seeing everything from quiet luxury (think Sofia Richie) to mermaid-core (who else is excited to see The Little Mermaid?)! We'll also be seeing a lot of our timeless classics like crochet (hello, grandma-core). Not only am I here to share this season's hottest trends, but I'm giving ya major outfit inspo, too. Without further ado, here is what we're raving about a.k.a what'll take over everyone's suitcases closet this season. Sunny days and the most 'fab lewks are ahead of ya—YW!

Quiet Luxury

When it comes to quiet luxury, less is more. You most likely own everything it takes to win at this trend, but in case you need a few more items to add to the collection, you'll love this minimal vest, maxi dress, and pleated pants.
