6 Summer 2023 Fashion Trends: What to Wear This Season (harpersbazaar.com)

Every year, summer feels timeless and strange. The perfect summer dress is more of a feeling than a trend, and there's a sense that the season never ends before it actually arrives. However, trends are always there. And this year, everyone wants pieces that fit a specific mood. That's how Diego Abba, CEO of Italian online fashion boutique Italist, sees it." The vibe is hopeful yet nostalgic, looking back at the history of fashion," he said. "Maybe people are more interested in quality than quantity, in comfort than in sharp pieces", he said.

Standout

Sunglasses

While Miu Miu’s most recent runway show made nerdy frames trend, the summer’s most popular look is chunkier frames that make more of a statement. "Of course it's special specs of eyewear," Abba says, trying to think of the first summer trend for 2023. Chrome Hearts, Jacques Marie Mage, Chanel Eyewear, and Cartier Eyewear are popular eyewear companies right now because they are hard to locate, have classic styles, and are less prevalent. "The most popular sunglasses are huge, resemble Jackie O, or are so blinged up that they look like they were plucked from a '90s photo.

Metallic Footwear

Its classic three stripes have been reinterpreted as delicate cape-style lace - and the internet has declared it the shoe of the summer. When the trainer hit stores, it sold out immediately. Shoppers were drawn to not just the samba shoe, but the silver colour. Everyone is after strappy metallic sandals, and when the weather gets really hot and it's time to wear a dress or a thin top with Adidas shorts, metallic shoes add an unexpected element to an otherwise predictable look.

Bold Dresses

Whilst new summer trends emerge every year, there are some tried and tested classics. Colorful dresses will never not be a holiday staple because, essentially, they just translate the joy of being on holiday into fabric.
