I’ve been pretty quite on Tiktok lately and I want to apologize. The truth is, I don’t love summer dressing. It’s hot and sticky outside. It’s hurricane season where I live, so it rains everyday. Honestly, my goal with outfits every summer is, to be as functional and cool as possible - fashion be damned.
HOWEVER, for you guys, I will get it together and get motivated. Welcome to todays brain dump.
Trendy Colors for Summer ‘24

Neutrals - Full neutral outfits are going to be everywhere this summer. And you know what, I think, anonymity is chic. I mean, neutral looks with soft textures and the absence of logos - it’s giving invisible luxury.

Yellow - Few colors say summer quiet like yellow. A symbol or brightness and playfulness, shades of yellow were on so many runways this past fashion weeks. Now, yellow can be tricky, not every shade is for everyone. Be cognizant of your skin tone when choosing to wear yellow.

Blues - Blue continues to have its moment in 2024. But instead of the light blue we were doing for spring, we are now embracing the brighter blues: cobalt, aqua and even dusty blue.
White Sneakers
White sneakers are boring to talk about. They are a necessity for summer, of course, but I feel like the discourse and recommendations are tired. Whatever, here are my thoughts, anyways.
For a vintage feel, you must go with the Club C 85 by Reebok.
Maybe I’ve been watching too many movies from the 90’s lately but I am so into the low profile canvas white sneaker. I think they call this a deck shoe? A few brands make a version of this type of shoe, but I like the Buck Mason Moonstar best.
And lastly, for a leather version, I love the Stan Smith Low Top. Its simple and always hits.
A Moodboard
Old J Crew campaigns are something I reference often. Something about the simplicity is so charming. I recently discovered the mood board account @lostjcrew on Instagram and knew I had to share with you guys.
