It’s hard not to get excited about this summer’s biggest trends. Especially when your favorite fashion muses are donning them with such zest all over Instagram. I’m generally not a slave to trends, but there are certain fashion picks that are way too hard to pass up this season. And why would you want to? From uplifting bright and bold colors to the leopard print you’ve been seeing on cool girls everywhere and the coolest seashell jewelry that makes us want to bolt to the beach ASAP, these are the spiking trends I can’t resist getting my hands on for the sunny season ahead.
Seashell Jewelry
This beachy summer trend has been blowing up our Instagram feed—and we can’t get enough. Swap your regular hoops for shell earrings or layer on multiple shell necklaces for a statement look.
Leopard Print
Say goodbye to black and consider leopard print your new summer neutral. “The Naomi” Réalisation Par skirt has a lot to do with our growing obsession—currently being styled in every way possible by fashion girls around the globe. It’s currently sold out, but there are plenty of other cool options to take on the trend. Bonus: The print is sticking around for fall too.

Rainbow Stripes (and Straps)
