Coastal coolMixing equal parts nautical style and East Coast prep, this trend popped up on the spring-summer runways at cool-girl brands like Miu Miu, Sacai, and Proenza Schouler, meaning itâs primed for a big season. Any coastal references are welcome: Breton stripes, sailor flares, boat shoes, gold buttons, shell jewelry, nautical netting. Itâs all breezy, moneyed, and effortlessly cool, like the Nantucket vacation you wish you could take.

2. Classic French chicSo many individual facets of French-girl style are trending (striped button-downs, easygoing denim, slim sneakers) that you might as well start dressing like you live in Paris. The good news is that they all look great together and with whatever else you already own, making them nearly no-brainer investments. Take a page from Jane Birkinâs book and pick up canvas plimsolls and a wicker basket; I suspect theyâll be even more popular next summer, keeping you firmly ahead of the curve.

3. Sporty prepBrands like Tory Burch, Miu Miu, Rabanne, and Todâs played in the space between prep and athleisure this season. The effect matches a distinct vibe Iâve been noticing on the street, one where polo shirts, capri leggings, pleated skirts, and athletic shorts fuse into an ultracool take on the prep-school uniform. âYes, I do Pilates,â these pieces say, âbut Iâve also got opinions on Pradaâs latest collection.â You contain multitudes, and your wardrobe should too.

4. Summer does autumnThis summerâs palette looks shockingly like one youâd expect for fall, complete with rich browns, vintage ivories, faded tans, and deep blacks. Even autumnal suede is trending. But paired with summery shapes, these hues feel their warmestâthink sandy beaches and sun-drenched villas. Donât take your next European or seaside vacation without at least a few pieces in this dreamy, subdued palette. (Plus, youâll get plenty of wear as summer fades.)

5. Retro polka dotsEven if you donât take Hailey Bieberâs and Olivia Rodrigoâs words for it, trust me: Polka dots are absolutely everywhere right now. The nostalgic print (which evokes both the â50s and the â80s) popped up at Valentino, Carolina Herrera, Acne Studios, and Moschino, and Iâm willing to bet youâve seen plenty of style creators wearing it on your feeds too. Any color is fair game, but I suggest going for black and white, which are the easiest to style and will never go out of style.

6. Sculptural minimalismLoose jackets and trousers anchored office-ready outfits at Victoria Beckham and Saint Laurent. Clean lines defined blazers at Toteme and Tory Burch. Flowing, architectural dresses graced the runways at Khaite and Tibi. It doesnât take much to get the same look at a lower price point; subtleties like split hems, body-skimming pleats, and thin straps elevate these picks into the realm of art. Easy, right?

7. Tropical shadesPool-blue at Kallmeyer, bubblegum pink at Carolina Herrera, lime green at Dries Van Notenâsplashes of color livened up some of my favorite summer runways, and theyâre only getting bolder as the season unfolds. (You might have heard itâs apparently âguava-girl summer.â) Embrace your sunnier side with these tropical shades, which work well as full-look statements or as accents in more neutral ensembles. You pick.
