Summer is still here, and boy it's a hot one...and with it comes endless opportunities to refresh your wardrobe and experiment with new looks. Whether you’re lounging by the pool, heading to brunch, or embarking on a beach vacation, your style should be as effortless as the season itself. Here’s your guide to nailing the rest of summer fashion with ease.

1. Lightweight Fabrics Are Your Best Friend

When the temperature rises, comfort is key. Opt for breathable materials like cotton, linen, and chambray. These fabrics keep you cool and add a relaxed airy vibe to your outfits. Think linen and chiffon dresses, cotton shorts, and breezy button-ups for a look that’s both stylish and practical. You will fall in love with yourself more by keeping it lightweight and comfortable!

2. Play With Color

Summer is the perfect time to embrace bold colors and playful patterns. Bright hues like coral, turquoise, lemon yellow and bright greens instantly lift your mood and your look. Believe it or not chocolate hues are booming right now and don’t shy away from mixing prints—florals, stripes, and polka dots can coexist beautifully when paired thoughtfully, try it you’ll be surprised. It’s 2025 bring out that inner YOU with style using colors and abstract patterns. Below we’re featuring one of our favorite color shades of green!

3. Swimwear As Outerwear

Who says swimwear is only for the beach? High-waist bikinis under sheer cover-ups or a stylish one-piece paired with a sarong and over-sized sunglasses create an effortlessly cool look perfect for poolside lounging or coastal getaways. Personally here at FLNYC we wear swimwear as outerwear often. Even in the fall/winter months. It’s all about how you layer your look. Don’t be afraid to try this look. You can style it very sexy or not. Look  at the pick below designed by Wolf and Bedgar. We love this style and can’t believe it’s swimwear.

5. Don’t Forget Sun Protection 

Style shouldn’t come at the expense of your skin. Invest in stylish sun hats, (personally one of our our favorites) UPF-rated clothing, and chic, long-sleeved cover-ups. Not only do they look great, but they also keep you safe from harmful UV rays. Especially if you know you’re going to be in the sun often. We ALWAYS love to promote safety and good health. 

What’s really cool now is what’s popular and trendy in summer fashion today is what was HOT🔥 back in the 60’s. Styles such as Boho, bright colors and even sexy swimwear, which we've would've worn as Outerwear in a heartbeat!
