THE HILLSDALE SUMMER STYLE EDIT

It’s heating up to be an action-packed summer! After a low-key summer last year, we’re ready to get back out there and dress to impress again. Here are our top picks for arriving in style to all the life events we can’t wait to get back to.

Beach Day

Enjoy a breezy day oceanside in style. Choose a
comfy yet fashionable pair of sandals from Flip Flop Shops, where all the best flip flop brands can be found. Protect your eyes with these Prada beauties from Sunglass Hut – the angular cat eye is right on trend for this summer! Make a statement in the sand with a cut out swimsuit in a bold, eyecatching hue from H&M.

Day Out

A day out in early summer can start off stifling hot and turn to cool and breezy. Make sure you are prepared for whatever the day brings with a versatile ensemble that will take you from an afternoon underneath the sun to an evening under the stars. We love the minimal look that’s trending this summer, which is perfect for layering! Channel this trend and simplify your summer wardrobe into a fool-proof uniform. Incorporate basics in subdued colors and no-fuss silhouettes, and you can mix and match to always feel put together!

Date Night

Spice up date night with an unexpected look that is equal parts cool and chic. A pleated flare dress in a light fabric will make you feel weightless on a warm summer evening. This on-trend style is comfortable and breezy, while still demanding all the attention in the room. Pair it with strappy lace up heels and a woven leather handbag for a look that’s subtle but still very of-the-moment.

Showers

Bridal and baby showers are the perfect occasion to pull out all the stops with a romantic garden party ensemble. Flex your fashion muscles while staying modest in front of grandma in a flirty, floral mini dress with dramatic balloon sleeves. Pair it with a woven handbag for an instant summer feel. Add some height but stay sure-footed on any
terrain in a cool pair of neutral flatforms.

Weddings

It’s always appropriate to dress to impress when you’re celebrating two people in love! One of the biggest shoe trends seen on the Spring/Summer 2021 runways was natural fantasy-inspired styles. These whimsical butterfly heels hit the mark: they are a sure conversation starter and the perfect centerpiece to your ensemble. Complement them with a painterly floral dress in vibrant hues and a thick chain clutch, and you’ll be the best-dressed on the dance floor.

Backyard BBQs

We are loving the comeback of the 90s bralette, but they can be a little too revealing for every day activities. Rock the trend in a wearable way at your next backyard gathering by choosing a cute cropped top and high waisted shorts. Top it off with a bucket hat to really channel the 90s!
