That’s right – Spring is officially here. And that means that summer fashion trends are just around the corner. We know you’ve been living your best winter life in little more than tracksuits, but it’s time to shed your fleece armour for something with a little more…heat.
Every year, it feels like fashion trends change faster than the seasons do. Everybody wants to look their best for summer, but how are you supposed to do that when your “best” changes with each publication of a women’s glossy magazine?
We’ve got you covered. Our fashion guide will equip you with the insights that you need to spring into the hottest summer fashion trends. We’ll show you how to stay stylish all season long.
Women’s summer fashion trends
Trends come and go, but women’s fashion is forever. The Devil Wears Prada proves as much. We’re checking off the hottest summer fashion trends for femmes.
Started at the bottoms: pants and skirts that are hot right now
In 2022, the early 2000s have officially become vintage. And the micro-trends of the early 2000s are cropping up all over the show! We didn’t think we’d live to see the return of the mini skirt, but here it is in all its glory. That’s right: the mini skirt is one of the summer’s hottest fashion trends. You can shop a wide selection of mini skirts at Cotton On, or at MyRunway.
Another sizzling summer fashion trend is the colour green! In anything from chartreuse to emerald, green is making a serious comeback in our summer wardrobes. Make the most of this jewel-toned delight by shopping these green spring frocks from Cotton On. They’re perfect for layering with brightly-coloured cardigans and t-shirts for an on-trend colour-blocking moment.
By the way, did we mention that Cotton On is bringing the heat with their range of Women’s Curve Pants? They have listed over 70 items in a range of breathable, summer-friendly fabrics in cuts that are sure to flatter every bodacious curve of your feminine form.
Coming out on top: women’s tops that are on-trend for summer
When it comes to what you’re wearing on top, 202/3 summer fashion trends indicate that halternecks and matching sets are totally in. To layer underneath your matching sets, you might want to shop the range of women’s tanks and camis from Cotton On, Superbalist, and Factorie.
Another timeless summer fashion trend is organic fabrics. They’re soft, breathable, and environmentally conscious. Shop the look from local brand Sitting Pretty. Their SS 2023 collection features pops of bright yellow, which is a trendsetting colour right now. Plus, you’ll be bringing the heat without breaking a sweat in their organic cotton tops.
Finally, we think that local brand Me&B can do no wrong. Their latest drop of matching linen suits in gorgeous colours like mango, cobalt blue, and bright pink are serving us the summer fun we didn’t know we were missing. You can shop Me&B on The Local Edit. You’re welcome!

Denim shorts have also made a real comeback as the summer’s hottest fashion trend for men. What’s not to love about denim?
