Now that we've entered June, we can all agree it's officially summer. As a shopping editor, I'm always looking for style inspiration from amazing online creators to help 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 recently clued into some top trends for the summer that will make any person instantly chicer. I've detailed a handful of my top summer trend findings and where exactly you can shop them ahead.

Whether you're looking to add some fun accessories to your look or get some updated on-trend clothing items that'll shake things up, I've got you covered. The trends you can expect to shop are: lace-trimmed shorts, crochet skull caps, asymmetric skirts, wedged heels, and layered tops today. Keep scrolling to find your new favorite wardrobe items for this summer and 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 long-line or relaxed Bermuda styles popping up this time around.

Crochet Skull Caps

Crochet or 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 popping up among the coolest style influencers and taste makers—the skull cap. The tiny fitted style has emerged as a unique/fun take on crocheted headgear this year. Many styles feature sequins, pearls, or 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 and for the months ahead. From handkerchief hems to godet style skirts, I simply cannot get enough.

Wedged Heels

Wedges are back, and they've gotten a much-needed sleeker 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 a more elevated update. Many brands are even selling a singular top that has a faux-layered look.
