Memorial Day weekend has come and gone, and that means it’s officially time to break out our warm-weather wardrobes. And if you’re like me, that part of your closet might feel a little bit…lacking right now. Sure, I have some cute sundresses and jean shorts from last year — tried and true standbys — but I’m itching for a few fun new pieces to add to my summer look. To make your life just a little bit easier, I’ve rounded up five of my favorite summer fashion trends (including some really fun accessories) that are fit for the upcoming months. Happy shopping!

Our Top 5 Must-Have Summer Fashion Trends Guide!
Summer Trend #1: Clear Bags
Once relegated to professional sports stadiums, the clear bag has made a high-fashion comeback. I’m particularly obsessed with the Staud offerings, and I love that they come with a chic inner bag so all my receipts and gum wrappers aren’t on full display. The architectural details and structured shape make this a fun bag to carry to work, too. It’s also interesting to note how the handbag designers are adding feminine touches to soften the overall vibe of these vinyl totes!

Summer Trend #2: White Shoes
Behold, the white strappy sandal that started it all. The Row’s Bare Sandal is pretty much the perfect summer shoe — but it’s definitely an investment. I’ve rounded up a few more bright and shiny summer shoes here, plus a pair from Zara that’s super similar. I love how any of these white shoes can pair with everything else in our summer fashion trends guide!

Summer Trend #3: Going Green
Following color trends is one of my personal favorite hobbies, and I’m pleased to announce that this season, it’s all about shades of green. From the palest of mints to rich emeralds, this hue exudes a sense of new growth and prosperity. Plus, there are tons of ways to incorporate this summer trend into your wardrobe.

Summer Trend #4: Pearls
I have a string of pearls that my great grandmother gifted me and until recently, they’ve sat in my jewelry box. Now, I can’t get enough of the pearl, especially when they are used in new and imaginative ways. I’m here to say that grandma’s pearls are in style and refreshed for 2019!

Summer Trend #5: Zebra Print
Move over, leopard print. It’s all about zebra now. Embrace the urban safari vibe with a zebra-print piece — but pair it with something streamlined and a little bit edgy to ensure a modern look.
