Now that we've entered June, we can all agree it's officially summer weather. As a shopping editor, I'm always looking for style inspiration from amazing online creators to take my looks (and my readers') to the next level. Since noticing trends and upticks in certain fashion choices is a big part of my job, I've been clued into top trends for the summer that will make any person look chicer. I'm detailing my findings and where exactly you can shop them ahead.

Whether you're looking to add fun accessories to your look or get updated on-trend clothing items that'll shake things up, I've got you covered. The trends you can expect to shop today are lace-trimmed shorts, crochet skullcaps, asymmetric skirts, wedged heels, and layered tops. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite wardrobe items for the months ahead.

Lace-Trimmed Shorts

Lace-trimmed shorts had a big moment among fashion people last year. This year, the trend is back with a little spin. While mini shorts are definitely still so cute, there have been more longline and relaxed Bermuda styles popping up this time around.

Crochet Skullcaps

Crochet and woven-style hats are a big part of summer. While you may be used to seeing these fabrications in bucket-hat form, there's a new style being worn by the coolest style influencers and tastemakers—the skullcap. The fitted style has emerged as a unique, fun take on crocheted headgear this year. Many skullcaps feature sequins, pearls, and fun beading.

Asymmetric Skirts

Uneven hemlines are taking the fashion world by storm in 2026, and we'll continue seeing more of that this summer, from handkerchief hems to godet-style skirts. I simply cannot get enough.

Wedged Heels

Wedges are back, and they've gotten a much-needed sleek update. If you're looking to wear more wedges this year, then thong-style sandals are such a simple but chic route to take.

Layered Tops

Another Y2K trend that's shimmied its way back into the zeitgeist is layered tops. Instead of stacking Abercrombie tees from middle school, the trend has gotten more elevated. Many brands are even selling singular tops that have a faux-layered look.
