One thing is certain, especially in 2025: Fashion people love to be ahead of the curve. Summer doesn't officially start until June 20, but the fashion set has already invited some of the season's biggest trends into their outfit rotations. In fact, I narrowed in on seven key summer pieces that are all over my Instagram and TikTok feeds leading up to the hotter months so you can do the same.
Below, you can check out each piece alongside some visual outfit inspiration to guide how you style the picks you love the most. Think effortless linen pants, flat and heeled flip-flop sandals, chic butter-yellow dresses, classic woven bags, and more. Many can easily be mixed and matched. Scroll on to shop seven incredibly chic summer pieces that people with good taste can't get enough of.
