Summer Materials—It’s All in the Details
Your summer wardrobe makes your closet look pretty different from other times of the year. Not only are you wearing more shorts and dresses, but the materials carry the season’s personality. They’re lightweight, comfortable, colorful, and vibe with the season. Even fabrics used for summer tops, like a crochet knit, seem to say, “Wear me while you enjoy a summer ice cream cone.” Whether fashion retailers offer maxi dresses, halter tops, wide-leg pants, flowy blouses, or other styles for summer, you should grab styles with these materials when you see them.
Crochet All Day
Crochet is one of the heavier summer fabrics, but every time you look at summer festival fashion, you’ll see a crochet top. The open-knit weave of crochet tops and dresses allows for some airflow, keeping things cool. Still, if you’re wearing a crochet dress, especially, you want to find a dress with a lining to avoid wearing a revealing outfit. Check out what your favorite dress shop offers in terms of summer crochet—it’s a crowd-pleaser for daytime summer fun.
Eyelet You Look at Me
Eyelet is a timeless fabric detail for cotton babydoll dresses and tops. It’s a classic addition to summer wardrobes that will always be in vogue, as your mom might say. You can wear it at any time of the day, including the times you have to rush out to breakfast because you slept in a little later than usual. Everyone will gush over your outfit when you wear eyelet, and don’t be surprised if you catch someone glancing at your look from across the room. Eyelet just inspires admiration for your fashion choices from people of all ages.
Floral You Know…
Florals are a staple of spring, but they’re also a fantastic look in summer. Look for bolder floral prints and lighter pastels to differentiate between the seasons unless you’re totally in love with transitional colors like light blue. Keep at least one maxi floral dress in your closet to ensure you can keep up with the looks of the season because summer florals are in style every year. Sundresses, maxi dresses, rompers, and flowy pants with floral prints are fantastic for family gatherings, summer holidays, and even wedding celebrations. The more you know about styling summer florals, the more equipped you’ll be to look on-trend until fall.
The materials you wear during summer feel different than those you wear during seasons with a chill. Summer pieces are supposed to keep you cool and comfortable even in the heat. Fill your closet with the staples for summer fun, including dresses, dress rompers, shorts, skirts, tanks, halters, and blouses, but keep materials in mind while you shop. Style will go a long way to keep things cute and cool, but fabrication will be the cherry on your summer sundae.
