If you're still not quite convinced, the best way to test out unexpected trends is to pick one and mix it into your classic outfits. But if you're ready to dive head-first into the ugly-pretty look, team items like a Hawaiian-print shirt with a bucket hat for maximum effect. Go on to see and shop every "ugly" summer fashion trend that'll make you forget "pretty" was even a thing.

The Baggier, the Better

We're calling it: "Baggy" jeans are the summer fashion trend that might once and for all eclipse skinny jeans. The looser, more relaxed fit is actually pretty ideal for summer days we might add.

Toe-Huggers

Forget Teva's and Birkenstocks, as there's a new ugly-chic sandal trend this summer, and it comes down to just one detail: the toe ring. With endless options to choose from, there's a toe-hugging style for everyone this season.

It wouldn't really be summer if an ugly-pretty hat trend wasn't in order. While straw hats will always be a beachside staple, it's the unlikely bucket hat that you'll see everyone wearing this summer.
