My mom and I talk about fashion and shopping a lot. She's into clothes and is always interested in learning about the latest styles, given my role as an editor. It's also worth noting that we tend to like similar items and trends despite our age difference (I'm 34, and she's 63). However, it's not surprising we gravitate toward similar pieces since age really has nothing to do with what you should or shouldn't wear.
On one of her recent visits, I showed her a few outfit ideas as well as the spring and summer trends I love and plan on recommending across my stories. My mom then mentioned the trends she liked best from my list. In the end, there were five summer trends we both agreed were cool, chic, and easy to follow.
Below you'll uncover the summer trends that get a "yes" from us, complete with visual and shopping inspiration.
Metallic Flats
My mom loves a good pair of flats and has been thrilled to see ballet flats return. So have I. This season, she's excited to try trendy metallic flats for something fun.
Bold Drop Earrings
My mom always says jewelry is the simplest way to take an outfit to the next level. She adores beautiful earrings and is here for the bold drop-earring trend the fashion crowd is currently gravitating toward.
Full Skirt
The full-skirt trend is back and dominating. I love the elegance of the look, and my mom couldn't agree more.
Striped Tee
In terms of trend-forward basics, it's all about an easy striped shirt for both of us. Whether a long-sleeve style or a short-sleeve pick, a striped shirt is about as versatile as it gets.
Pink Separates
For a color moment, my mom still loves pretty pink separates. You know, the whole Barbiecore vibe.
