Here at Brodie Countryfare, we know how hard it can be to stay on top of the trends and curate stylish summer outfits each year, that’s why we’ve put together a guide to the Top Summer Trends for Women, to help you choose fashionable and current pieces to upgrade your wardrobe! From fabulous wedding guest inspiration to casual summer staples, we have compiled outfit ideas that are suited to any occasion.

Be the Best Dressed Guest

Summer is peak season for weddings, and everyone wants to be the best dressed guest! There are so many styles to choose from, and luckily, to help you narrow down your choices, we have a great selection of Women’s outfit ideas that are sure to turn heads.

Choose to stand out from the crowd with a Pantsuit! Whilst a dress is the popular choice for a wedding guest, a pantsuit is a unique choice for ladies who want to feel comfortable and smart in a contemporary way. Marc Cain has a great selection of colourful trousers, waistcoats and blazers that can be mixed and matched to create stylish looks, including the Waistcoat and matching Wheaton Trousers. This set is the perfect choice for a wedding outfit as it’s a stunning pastel pink colour, which is ideal for a summer as it’s soft and elegant. The waistcoat is sleeveless, wonderful for those warm days as it can be dressed up or down. A brilliant aspect of a jumpsuit is that it can be accessorised in a multitude of different ways, depending on your personal style. We personally love the Michael Kors Fleur Small Crossbody Bag, as it’s the perfect size for carrying all of your wedding essentials, plus it matches everything thanks to the summery light cream colour. If chic shoes are more your thing, block heels are a style staple this summer season. The Menbur Strappy Block Heeled Sandal features studded straps to add a touch of bling to your look. Complete this ensemble with a trendy statement necklace and earrings, and you’ll certainly be the best dressed guest!

If you prefer the opposite of the neutral pantsuit style, we’re sure you’ll love bold statement dresses. Patterns and prints are one of our favourite Top Trends this summer as they are sure to leave a lasting impression at any wedding. Show off your personality with an eye-catching dress from Hale Bob, the fashion brand from Los Angeles that’s loved by celebrities, including Cameron Diaz and Cindy Crawford. Hale Bob perfectly encapsulates Californian bohemian style, combining flowing material with feminine prints. This style is perfect for summer wedding guests as these dresses speak for themselves without the need for lots of other accessories. We love the Allison Chiffon Maxi Dress due to its stunning print, and it looks wonderful styled simply with the Michael Kors Leather Verona bag, following the pink theme which is super on-trend due to its versatility.

Look Stylish on your Summer Holiday

Heading somewhere hot this summer? Discover gorgeous ladies’ outfits that will keep you cool and comfortable whilst still looking ahead of the trend.

Midi dresses are a great way to keep covered from the sun whilst looking classy and fashionable! The best part is that they can be worn in either afternoon or evening. Don’t be afraid of dark colours when on holiday, as it’s often easier to accessorise and create outfit combinations. The Rails Clementine Dress is a stunning black midi dress featuring flutter sleeves and a flowing skirt, meaning it won’t feel restrictive in warmer climates. The dark colour of the dress makes it an extremely versatile piece. Accessorise with a vibrant pop of colour such as the popular Fairfax and Favor Mini Crossbody Bag in Porto Blue, or try something beachier like we did, combining the Pia Rossini Tobago Hat and Every Other Tote Bag.

Following the trend of patterns and prints, stripes are a popular trend this summer. Try a dress with a striped print, sure to make a statement when paired with stylish heels for evenings in the city, or chunky trainers for a day of sightseeing. The Rails Irie Dress combines the timeless style of a shirt with a midi dress, putting a contemporary twist on a class dress. This dress looks lovely when worn with neutral accessories, such as the Michael Kors Ruby Satchel Handbag, a camel-coloured bag that can be worn crossbody for on-the-go adventures or on the shoulder for evening wear

Make Summer Strolls your Catwalk

Spending your summer at home? That doesn’t mean you can’t wear stylish outfits! There are many ways to mix and match your current clothes with new and trending ones to spruce up your wardrobe. Pair colourful chino shorts with a white polo shirt for a sporty yet refined look. Make it dressy with a pair of wedge sandals or opt for a more casual style with trainers and a trending sling bag! If you don’t have a polo shirt, a tank top or graphic T-shirt can also achieve the popular athleisure style, mix and match different colours to create a combination of stylish outfits.

For cooler summer evenings, replace shorts with longer trousers. Linen is a summer staple due to its breathability and lighter texture – that’s why it makes a great material for trousers. Pair light-coloured loose linen bottoms with a fitted top for a casual beachy look, it makes a change from heavier jeans and looks comfortable and modern. This outfit idea looks great with a multitude of accessories, but we especially love how it looks with sparkly sandals and a matching leather bag, which pulls the outfit together perfectly for evening activities, whether for a family meal or meeting up with friends.
