10 Summer Trends for 2022

Well ladies, summer is literally right around the corner. Many of us will be exchanging our pants for shorts, changing out our sneakers for sandals and trying to wear tank tops whenever possible.

Summertime is full of wonderful activities, maybe a vacation or two and hopefully a chance to get away from life as normal. I want to give you some fun summer trends you will be seeing and hopefully you will get to partake in a few of them. Many of these you may have seen 20-30 years ago in the 90’s. They have made a comeback.

Platform heels

Many of you remember platform sandals and flip-flops and any kind of shoe that were popular throughout the 90’s and even into some of the early 2000’s. Well ladies, they are back again. You probably have already seen them in your stores because they have invaded the shoe isles everywhere. Let us know if this trend is some thing that you love or hate. For me, I used to enjoy wearing them when I was younger but now as an adult, I don’t see myself participating in this trend so much. I am already 5 foot 10, so I’m quite taller than a lot of people as it is. I don’t need any extra inches added on unless I am wearing cute heels. Platform heels just remind me of my middle school and high school days.

Bring in the sparkle

Another trend that you’ll be seeing this summer is a lot more sparkle added to outfits. I think after all of the hard times in the darkness that we’ve seen these past few years, people are wanting to add a little bit of life and sparkle back into the day and into their routine. What better way to do so than adding a little sparkle to your wardrobe? You will see a lot of things such as sequin skirts and dresses – pretty much anything that can be sequined or sparkled will be. I do love sparkle and I do love sequins but I don’t recommend overdoing it. You know – just one item of sequin or sparkly to your outfit is all you need. We don’t need all of it to be consumed with sparkles. You will definitely see me sparkling this summer.

Beaded Up

This next trend I’ve already started seeing a bunch of is beaded purses and beaded little bags. I believe I even seen them at target the other day. To me, this is more childish than anything. It is not really a trend for women. I’m in my 30s but I don’t see myself buying or carrying around a beaded purse. Beaded is cute but it is considered to be more of a young young girls type of accessory. I’m sure you’ll be seeing older women and women of all ages wearing these and carrying them around. Some things are meant to stay with the youth and not to be made for women and adults and I really feel like this is one of those trends. It’s meant for just the young kids, so we will let them enjoy it.

Bright colors

Bright colors are always a pretty good trend for summer. You will often see them all over the place. But I think going along with the sequins and sparkles, you’ll probably see a lot more of bright colors this summer as people are just ready to get rid of the sadness and the darkness and everything that they faced these past few years. Don’t be afraid to embrace the bright colors. Have fun with them mix and match them. Several colors look really great with other colors and can make really cute outfits. If you want styling advice always feel free to reach out to me on my Instagram – which I’ll put below.

Crop Top Comeback

Crop tops are back in all kinds of styles and ways. You will see them everywhere. You’ll see people wearing them everywhere. I’m not gonna talk to you much about crop tops because I kind of have an unpopular opinion about them but if you’re comfortable wearing them, do wear them. Enjoy them. I personally love crop tops on myself especially during the summertime because it keeps me a little bit cooler. They are a fun different way to express your style.

Coastal Chic

This next trend is kind of fun. Picture linen shorts and a sweater that is white and navy blue lined. That is what a coastal chic is. Just imagine what the people that are living in the northern states of the US by the by the water wear. These things that they would normally wear are considered coastal style. This is becoming a popular trend for the summer. I’ve never actually dressed this way but I might give it a try this year.

Mini Skirts

Mini skirts are also making a come back. This was popular when I was in high school and like they say fashion repeats itself every couple decades so here we are wearing miniskirts again. I personally feel like mini skirts are not the best idea for anybody not even for young girls, just because we all know that men have a very vivid imagination. With mini skirts not much is left to the imagination and when we don’t leave much for the imagination it can cause quite a bit of problems. I think there’s enough problems in the world that we don’t need to create more by the way that we dress. I just want to encourage you to to approach trends with some modesty. The world does not really care about that but I know that in the word it says that if you cause a man to lust or to stumble, it it’s just as much your sin as it is his. So let’s try to be women of God and just try to be modest with the things that we decide to wear. Let’s be examples to our children and grandchildren.

All White

Wearing an all white outfit has become a really popular trend this year. White jeans have always been popular for the summertime. I guess we all just need a little more light so many women are wearing all white everything. While there’s nothing wrong with that, I probably will not do that much or at all. Just because I am one of those people that if I wear white it’s probably going to get dirty. I don’t know how but it might happen. I do love the look of all white. I think it’s really beautiful and clean and simple. But it’s some thing that’s hard for me to personally wear.

Cut out Bathing Suits

This last trend relates to bathing suits. If you haven’t noticed there are a lot of fun different styles of bathing suits coming out yes they are still considered one piece or bikinis, but the way that they have been fashioned is fun and different. I definitely am loving the different cut outs and designs that I’ve been seeing because it’s a break from the normal. It makes makes it a little bit more fun when shopping for bathing suits. If you have any beach vacation, swimming pool, or lake visits or anything that you are going to be doing for the summer, I definitely encourage you to to find one of these fun bathing suits and give it a try.

I hope you enjoy learning about these some summer trends for 2022. Let us know which ones you want to do and which ones you aren’t too fond of. Have fun with the trends, make them your own and just enjoy your summer.
