Pre-Holiday Summer Fashion: Trends + Tips
1. Lightweight fabrics & breezy silhouettes
As temperatures rise, fabrics like cotton, linen blends, rayon, and lightweight viscose come into play. These let your skin breathe, avoid overheating, and always feel more relaxed. Think loose fits, flowy skirts, maxi dresses, wide-leg pants, and slips over tight or heavy garments.
2. Florals, tropical prints & botanicals
Florals never really go out of style, but summer is their time to shine. Truworths’ Instagram previews show leaf-print camisoles and sarong pants, a clear nod to this trend. Instagram Pair a botanical print bottom with a solid top or go full set for a coordinated summer look.
3. White + neutrals as anchor colours
White dresses or pieces with white as a base are staples for summer — they reflect heat and combine well with flashes of bold pops (reds, pinks, earthy rusts). Many of Truworths’ “new in” and summer campaign images lean into fresh whites, crisp linens, and neutrals. truworths.co.za+1
4. Bold accents & pops of colour
Even in a mostly neutral wardrobe, introducing one vibrant piece (say, that red fit & flare dress) will refresh your look. Summer is perfect for experimenting with brighter shades. The trick is to anchor them with neutrals (white, beige, soft tan) so your outfit doesn’t feel overwhelming.
5. Mix & match separates / coordinating sets
Instead of full dresses always, include items you can mix: cami tops, skirts, loose trousers, cropped shirts. The coordinated set (matching top + bottom) is trending and gives an instant “styled” look without too much effort.
6. Layer lightly & plan for evenings
Summer evenings or indoor spaces with AC can get cooler. A light kimono, soft shawl, or even a denim jacket can carry you through. Choose items that fold small or go well over your “main” pieces.
7. Accessorize simply but smartly
- A straw hat, raffia tote or woven bag
- Simple metallic sandals or espadrilles
- Dainty jewellery — a layered necklace or minimal hoops
- Sunglasses with UV protection
- A belt (woven or leather) to cinch loose dresses
