By the time summer rolls around, you’re ready to ditch those heavy sweaters and boots in favor of the hottest tween summer fashions. Don’t worry. Neither you nor your parents need to spend big bucks on a ton of new clothes. There are a few affordable key pieces to include in your warm-weather wardrobe that will leave you looking cool in the hot temperatures.
Just because the temperatures are soaring doesn’t mean you have to sport the same old shorts and t-shirt uniform. Shake up your usual get up with some of the hottest, celebrity-inspired fashion trends for summer.
If you think ruffles are too sweet and little girl for your taste, think again. Ruffles are back in a big way. The trick is to not OD on the ruffle trend and only sport it in moderation for a look that’s flirty and feminine, not too young-looking. Look for a lightweight spaghetti strap dress with ruffle detail or a tee with ruffle-trimmed sleeves to get in on this trend.
Seen all over celebs such as Miley Cyrus and Taylor Swift, bold floral patterns are girly but with an edge. Look for sundresses in bold hues, such as vivid blue, red, purple, and pink that have a large flower motif throughout. You can also try this look on a romper, which is perfect for a more casual feel. Pair with metallic flat sandals, and you’re ready to beat the heat in style.
A long, flowy maxi dress is an absolute summer staple for any fashion-savvy tween. When done in a lightweight cotton, it’s super comfortable and breathable and perfect for just throwing on at a moment’s notice. You can wear your maxi as a beach or pool cover up or just for hanging on the boardwalk with friends or at a backyard BBQ. You'll always look put together. Pair yours with one of the biggest summer accessory trends, the leather studded bracelet.
While the cutoff denim mini skirt will always be a classic, why not update the look by choosing a mini in a cool corduroy fabric instead? Fine cabled corduroy is every bit as lightweight and breathable as a regular cotton or denim, and you can wear it in bold colors that scream summer, such as turquoise, fuchsia, purple or yellow. You can also scoop one up in a wear-with-everything neutral hue, such as beige or khaki.
You may think tie dye was only cool when your parents were young, but the effect is back in a big way. In summer, you'll see it on everything from bathing suits to tanks and tees and dresses. You can pick up store-bought tie dyed items, or do it the old fashioned way and grab a white t-shirt and your friends and tie dye at home. That way you can choose the colors you want and mix and match to suit your style.
It may be tempting to don the same old rubber flip flops day in and day out, but give your feet an update by sporting some of the hottest shoe trends for summer. Try some of these great styles.
Sometimes you want your toes covered, like when you haven’t been able to get a pedicure or when the temperatures are unusually cool at nighttime. Flats with girly details such as quilting, jewels, or bows are cute and can even take you into the fall.
Wedges are great for giving short girls a little height boost without the difficulty of teetering on heels. Wedges in natural shades and fabrics, such as brown leather or natural cork, are perfect for day or night and match anything in your wardrobe.
Metallic is chic and trendy and classic at the same time. Try a metallic sandal in lieu of your favorite broken in flip flops to give an instant update to even the most casual outfit.
You only need a few key pieces to give your wardrobe an update for summer with the hottest tween summer fashions. By scooping up a couple of new items and mixing them with what you already own, you can give your closet an instant makeover without breaking the bank.
