Hey there Diamond Bloggers!!

Are you doing well? Missed me?

Well, I am back, with a brand new article. Today I decided to talk about fashion trends, because I found it a really interesting topic, especially for summer.

Adding to that!! It’s August! Happy August to everyone! Now that it’s not only officially summer, but also the last month, it’s time to start again and review our to do list for summer.

How’s it going? Is yours completed yet? If not, then you’re at the right place. If yes, well, fashion never goes out of fashion right? What I mean, is that fashion will never stop being a trend. Let’s talk about summer trends, what the “rich and famous” wear and how we can update our wardrobe, to look not like them, but better.

Here’s a quick reminder for you! Everyone is unique and you do not need to compare yourself with anyone, to feel validation or acceptance. Accept yourself the way you are, because you’re perfect just as it is. ♥️

This summer has been quite an interesting one. From a few influencers I happened to get across my social media’s for you pages, I was completely amazed by the variety of looks, and patterns.

The “White” syndrome

One could say I’m talking about Walter White from Breaking Bad, but this ain’t the case. More and more people this summer choose to wear mostly white or black. Unlike the fashion trends for 2023 or earlier, where you could say that each outfit was a rainbow, it seems as if everyone now chooses to play it safe.

We all know that black and white are not exactly colours. Our fellow artist friends will argue with us claiming that these two are neutral. And I will agree with them.

As a person with an affection towards bright but also pastel and dark colours I can say that white was never my favourite, or first choice. However, I am in no place to argue about black, because for me it is something like my comfort colour, if that is even a thing.

Anyways, let’s dive deeper. COVID era has officially come to an end, and by that I mean the periods of lock-down. Back then a majority of the world’s population started to appreciate new looks, a broad range of body types along with showing off even more skin, than what we were used to.

It hasn’t been too long honestly, but all these “old” trends are now not only faded, but almost vanished as if there were never a thing to begin with. In several reels or TikTok videos, I’ve spotted people romanticizing anorexia, slim waist, sharing beauty tips on how to get a flat stomach (as if a chubby one is a bad thing), even selling pills that claim to make you “slim”.

Fashion has now adapted perfectly to these trends. We notice all kinds of body types wearing white, in different fabrics and cuts. Some pleated, other straight, other with laces. Linen, cotton, polyester. Fabrics and designs for all types of people, the eccentric, the minimalists, the maximalists and the list goes on. Some less revealing, others hiding the essential parts, serve the same purpose and are equally as beautiful.

What I can observe, actually, is that, the representatives of the fashion trends, who are no others than many famous brands like Louis Vuitton, Prada, Gucci, Michael Kors, Miu Miu, etc. , want to return back to the era of minimalism, where something simple and effortless was something that thrilled the crowds.

Boho, but better

Apart from white dresses, shirts and skirts, Boho style is back. Several patterns, full body as well as revealing looks mark some of the most famous looks of summer, 2024. Earth toned fabrics, styled with flip flops, all kinds of sandals and straw bags certainly are the center of attention.

The past few months, crochet tops, jackets and other pieces of clothing by crochet are trending in all social media platforms. To be honest, I kinda like crochet tops. I have a few shirts and I admit that they are very comfortable and cool.

Flowy tops are also a thing. With or without sleeves they never fail to be charming and cute. They are often baggy but also tight. I’ll show you some examples.

To top it off for boho, I will list here some outfits that exactly match the boho aura, along with accessories that are must have if you’re a boho lover.

Slim sneakers , polo shirts and more!

Last but not least, I cannot just leave without expressing my obsession over slim sneakers. I have to admit that, as soon as I saw some old adidas like sneakers in a store, I first thought.. hmm.. okay, not bad. I bought them for a reasonable price and I have to thank my mum for introducing me to these sneakers!

So.. I actually fell in love with them. Slim sneakers now have many different patterns and shapes on them but to me, they are still cute and also easy to style. They match perfectly with dresses, long or short, it doesn’t matter (if you want to make the outfit more sporty). You can also pair them with fits that include shorts and bermudas (baggy or not).

Polo shirts, the ones that are known to be loved by men, are also now a trend. I haven’t tried to make outfits with those yet, but I hope that soon I will.

Let me show you some more references, and wrap everything up for today!

That was it for today’s article! I really hope you enjoyed reading about summer trends! A kind reminder to everyone though. The trends and society standards will always be there to scare us and avoid letting us accept who we are in real. Dress solely the way you want, and make yourself even more beautiful than you already are because you want to! Nothing should be forced! Each one of us is equally as unique and amazing as everyone else!

Okayy bye now! I’ll come back again soon 😉 Can you guess the topic? Tell me your ideas and give me your opinion in the comment section<3!
