6 Trends That Are So "Summer 2018"

Clearly, it's not just us editors who are obsessing over all the fun trends we're seeing everywhere this summer. You—our crazy stylish readers—are too. Though we're always trying to predict which trends are just about to blow up, the moment we know a trend has "made it" is when all of you actually start wearing it (and, of course, posting about it in your outfit photos). Thanks to our readers, we can now be completely sure that the following six items are bona fide trends.

From the It bags you're all carrying to summer's must-have top, our readers are making it known that these trends are so "summer 2018," meaning that they feel so current it almost hurts.
