I won’t pretend sorbet nails are a brand-new trend for summer 2025. Let’s be real — they look a lot like the pastel manicures that pop up every year at this time. But while they’re not exactly groundbreaking, there’s no denying that the biggest nail artists are obsessed with them right now. From Iram Shelton’s shimmering strawberry manicure to Harriet Westmoreland’s mint sorbet French tips, sorbet nails provide a cool pop of color among the wave of neutral princess nails and milky manicures.
For the skeptics amongst us, there is a subtle difference between this year’s sorbet nails and more traditional pastels: “Though they’re in the same family of soft tones, sorbet shades are slightly more vibrant versions of pastel colors,” explains session manicurist Ami Streets. “Inspired by their namesake edible summer treat, they’re even brighter and juicier, often with a sheer or jelly-like finish that gives a gorgeously glossy and playful vibe.” Think of fruity hues inspired by your favorite ice cream flavors, such as banana, peach, strawberry, or pistachio, if you’re unsure where to start.
Streets points out that sorbet shades lend themselves beautifully to summer nail art looks. “Soft ombré gradients in sorbet colors are a dreamy nail look for summer. Effortlessly blending shades like pinks and peaches, for example, creates a sun-kissed effect that feels light, airy, and totally on-trend,” says Streets. Additionally, for minimalists, French tips, half-moon manis, and simple, dainty dot designs are a great way to wear sorbet hues more subtly.

Streets pointed to pale yellow being one of the “huge breakout sorbet hues for spring”, and this monochromatic look created by @kkdnails proves that it isn’t going anywhere for summer. Try Essie Nail Polish in All Fun & Games, $10, for a similar buttery lemon hue.
A rainy Sunday in Brooklyn’s Fort Greene Park looked like a scene from an early 2000s Black film. Hundreds danced and sang along to Carl Thomas’ “Summer Rain” under delicate showers, seemingly without a care in the world. It felt like community, freedom and joy.
This was a scene from The Lay Out’s 2025 Juneteenth celebration. Despite the gloomy weather, thousands of attendees gathered to enjoy the sixth annual event, which included Black-owned vendors, tennis clinics, double dutching, giveaways from Fenty Skin and the Brooklyn Nets. There was also a special appearance by the Liberty mascot and turn-up queen herself, Ellie the Elephant.
“I’ve been coming to The Lay Out since 2020 when there were like 40 or 50 of us,” said Tulani Foy, 37. “It was during the pandemic, but it was a way for all of us to be among each other, and I think the spirit of that is still the same. It’s raining, we’re still out here, and I just appreciate that we’re all in our most expressive way here. It’s a powerful event to come back to.”
Though Juneteenth became an official federal holiday in 2021, it was first celebrated in Galveston, Texas, in 1865—when the last enslaved Black people learned they were free. The news was delivered by Gen. Gordon Granger and his troops, who spread the word until all Black people knew about the Emancipation Proclamation, which President Abraham Lincoln had signed about two and a half years earlier. Today, Juneteenth, celebrated annually on June 19, has grown far beyond Texas, becoming a national symbol of freedom, reflection and celebration.
The Lay Out founder, Emily Anadu, honors the holiday by throwing a free celebration for Black New Yorkers. The event has attracted thousands of attendees since it first began. But Anadu wants you to know: this isn’t just a party in the park. Their mission is bigger than that.
“It’s about creating an intergenerational space for Black joy,” Anadu said during a Zoom interview. “We are about centering Black joy at the intersection of Black expression, our right to be, our right to do, to double dutch, braid hair. Like we can be proud about who we are and what we do and the cooperative economics of it.”
Anadu officially founded The Lay Out in June 2020 amid the pandemic and the collective mourning and outrage over the police killings of George Floyd, Breonna Taylor and others. In the midst of protests, citywide curfews and rising anxieties, Anadu — who would often stay behind to clean up after protests — wanted to bring a sense of community back to her neighborhood. Along with co-founders Manushka Magloire, Cyrus Aaron, Briyonah Mcclain and Michael Oloyede, Anadu did just that.
Attended by creatives, engineers, doctors, nurses, businesspeople, children, babies, and everybody in between, their Juneteenth event has become a homecoming and annual sanctuary—a placewhere people can reconnect and feel at ease. Whether folks choose to be by the DJ booth dancing, on the grass playing games or chilling along the perimeter of the park, just enjoying the day, it’s become a space for Black people to just be.
Acclaimed artist Derrick Adams told Anadu the event feels like his “paintings in motion” because, like his work, The Lay Out reflects “the Black body at rest and the Black body at joy.”
Six years later, though the mission to cultivate Black joy is still the same, there’s another urgent priority for Anadu: to sustain.
“Now my mission is about holding on to what it is, as much is about what happens in the moment,” Anadu said. “I spend a lot of time now just trying to hold on and the delicate balance of welcoming new people in, but also letting people understand, like, we kind of got a thing going here.”
A very real anxiety exists for Black New Yorkers right now as community staples disappeared left and right in recent years, including Bed-Vyne Brew, Lovers Rock and Ode to Babel. Gentrification and rising property costs have made it hard for businesses that center on Black communities to survive. Not to mention, beyond economics, increasing restrictions on public social gatherings, overbearing police presence at community events and social media virality culture have made it harder for free, Black-run events to gain traction in Brooklyn.
Anadu felt those anxieties and pressures in the days leading up to Sunday. She notes that, contrary to what people may see with the brand collaborations and production, she doesn’t make much off of the events. The former marketing director says it takes tens of thousands of dollars to pull off an event like this, and much of the budget goes towards cleanup.
“Coming out of the pandemic, when a lot of things died, to be here, celebrating this for the sixth time, it takes a lot,” she said. “It takes honoring the community and making sure that The Lay Out is about our right to gather and to take up space. One woman described in one of our recap videos black people doing black things without judgment, without our bodies being policed, without any of that. And that hasn’t happened by accident.”
The Lay Out is a reminder that building community doesn’t just happen. It takes care, consistency and intention. It takes people willing to listen, give back, and take care of each other, including the spaces we occupy. Because of the work organizers have put in, The Lay Out has been able to host programming that feeds those in need, brings visibility to Black-owned businesses, and makes Black presence visible in spaces where we’re often left out. They’ve even sparked a few love stories and helped two couples get engaged.
Anadu said she has no intention of stopping anytime soon.
“I want people to feel entitled to joy,” she declared.”It is our inalienable right to happiness with the pursuit of happiness, the pursuit of joy. And I truly believe that for us. I wouldn’t put what I put into it — time, space, emotional, physical — if I didn’t truly believe in our right to the pursuit of joy. I just want all of us to be supportive of that.”

When beauty influencer Darcei Giles first tried a popular cushion foundation by Korean makeup brand TirTir, she knew it was not going to match her skin tone — but that was the point. The Toronto-based creative is known for her social media series, ‘Black Girl Tries’, where she attempts makeup styles, techniques, and products that aren’t typically associated with Black women — from “goth” makeup to K-pop idols. “I made a video of myself being like, ‘Hey, this is an awesome foundation, the coverage is beautiful and I love it, but it doesn’t come in my shade,” she tells Unbothered over Zoom. Giles, who has a keen interest in Korean culture, says the video led to TirTir creating more foundation shades, going from nine to 40 shades last year. TirTir now offers one of the widest shade ranges among K-beauty makeup brands available in the US. Now, Miss Darcei has finished working with another K-beauty brand, Parnell, on an inclusive 40-shade range for its new Cicamanu Serum Foundation — a move that not only reflects her growing influence but also the undeniable spending power of Black beauty consumers in the West.
It’s an exciting development, especially as K-beauty — skincare and makeup products made and innovated in South Korea — continues to leave a huge impression on Western beauty trends and self-care. Known for its innovation and effectiveness, it’s now a multi-billion-dollar import in the US, and a fast-growing market in the UK. And chances are, you’ve learned to speak the language of K-beauty over the last few years (from snail mucin serums to fermented rice water toners). Yet, while its skincare products have enjoyed mass appeal, Korean makeup brands such as Laneige aren’t known for catering to a wide spectrum of dark skin tones — something other major cosmetic brands have significantly improved over the last decade. For those of us with darker skin, many have asked: “Is Korean makeup for me?” Darcei has been helping to answer that question. Unbothered spoke to Darcei about why she’s encouraging more K-beauty makeup brands to cater to darker-skinned customers internationally (despite some backlash) and helping all women of color feel seen in the skincare and makeup aisle.

UB: Hey, Darcei! You are known for your YouTube series ‘Black Girl Tries’. What got you interested in the world of K-beauty? And how did it become part of your channel?
Darcei Giles: I had always been into Korean culture since I was a kid, even before YouTube, and I was only into K-pop and K-dramas. I wasn’t even thinking about makeup at all. Once I started getting into American-style makeup, I began to discover that there were American beauty gurus and also Korean beauty gurus.
[When I watched] the Korean beauty gurus, I was like, Oh, that’s so pretty, but you know, it wouldn’t look good on me. Then, eventually, during that time, a trend came around where we would try the makeup routine of another creator. I thought it would be hilarious if I followed the makeup tutorial of someone who did not look like me at all. I thought, Oh my god, this is going to look so terrible and stupid at the end. SoI started following the makeup tutorials of Korean beauty influencers, and then, to my surprise, a lot of the stuff turned out pretty good. It became a popular series on my channel of me trying the opposite of what you think someone who looks like me would try. It turned into the ‘Black Girl Tries’ series.
Why is K-beauty so appealing for Black beauty lovers right now, especially when we don’t necessarily see ourselves in the marketing?
DG: Beauty is universal. A good glittery eye and a glossy lip — everybody can wear that. I feel like now people are also recognizing that not only is Korean beauty really good, the quality is really good, but it’s also a lot more affordable than the brands that we’re used to. [Korean makeup artists] have different ways of applying makeup, different styles, and it’s this novelty of trying something you’ve never seen before. I also feel like [the makeup] fits Black people’s features a lot better. We have a lot of features in common with Asian people.
[Because of my channel], I have found this community of young Black girls. I get messages all the time from Black girls telling me, “Oh, I was afraid to try this type of makeup or this certain style until I saw you try it.” I couldn’t believe it because growing up, I was the only person who was into any of the stuff I was into. Like no one had even heard of what a K-drama was, what K-pop is, they’d never heard of that. Now I have found this online community of millions of people who are interested in the same thing that I am.
You’ve been instrumental in advocating for expanded shade ranges in Korean makeup products. What made you want to call out the lack of shade diversity in these products?
DG: It started back on YouTube when I started doing the Black Girl Tries series in 2018. Even back then, I was trying a lot of K-beauty brands, and some of them started to make dark shades, so I would try them out. But I started to notice a pattern. Every single time a Korean brand would come out with darker shades, they would get discontinued because they didn’t know how to market to people who have darker skin. And so people with darker skin didn’t know that it existed, or even if they did, they didn’t think that the brand was really for them. Eventually, the shades would always get discontinued, and it was really frustrating. Then COVID happened, and all of those brands completely disappeared from the market. Everything changed. So it’s only now that they’re all coming back.
This led to you making your now viral video with the brand TirTir, right?
DG: Yes, so the makeup brand TirTir only had nine shades at the time, which is actually a lot for a K-beauty brand — the standard is like three. I was invited to an event by a local store in Toronto, and everybody at the event was getting the nine shades of the TirTir except for me because it didn’t come in my shade. But I was like, “Can I just have it anyway?” I get home and I try it [and I made a video of me] being like, “Hey, this is a really awesome foundation, the coverage is beautiful, it’s like a satin finish, and I love it, but it doesn’t come in my shade”. So I said, “If you guys ever expand [your shade ranges], call me.” The brand actually did contact me, and they came out with 20 shades, which was like unheard of for a Korean makeup brand. That 20th shade was my shade. Now they have 40 shades.
You recently worked with another Korean makeup brand, Parnell, to help formulate darker shades for its foundation range. Why do you think K-beauty brands are choosing to diversify shade ranges now?
DG: Parnell initially put out 30 shades, and even the darkest of the 30 shades was not dark enough for me. So I made a video saying, “There are 30 shades, but none of them are dark, and so they can contact me.” They were like, “Can you help us make 10 more dark shades?” And that’s exactly what we did. It’s important to have people like me who can come in and consult on the shades and make sure that we’re getting the right undertones and trying it on actual people. That’s what I found with working with Korean brands. It’s never a thing where they don’t want to [expand their shade ranges].
Is it true you went to Seoul, Korea, to help Parnell formulate darker shades? What goes into making sure that this is an inclusive product?
DG: I was very picky with the undertones, and it took maybe like four or five months of back and forth. I didn’t go to Korea every time. [Parnell] would like to send them to me in Canada, and I would take pictures and give my notes, and then send them back. At the end of it, it turned out so amazing. The photoshoot was great. We had diverse models showing off all of the different foundations. We had an event with a lot of foreign creators who live in Korea, because I feel like people don’t know that there are a lot of foreigners in Korea. The Parnell foundation is very glowy and moisturizing, and that’s really what I like in my everyday kind of foundation. I’m excited for everybody to try it out.
There have been a lot of conversations about whether Korean brands need to be shade-inclusive, as it’s largely a monoracial society. What is your usual response to this comment online?
DG: My usual response is that, especially for the Parnell foundations, the expanded shades are actually only available in the US. They’re not even available in Korea. This was a US expansion. Like a lot of Korean brands, they would love to expand internationally, to come over to the US. It’s that a lot of them simply don’t know how.
Because it is such a monoracial society, it’s difficult to find people to try on the makeup when the brand is formulating it — it’s a lot different trying it on a white piece of paper than it is trying it on an actual human being. They don’t have the kind of resources that they would have in the US, where it’s extremely diverse.
There are some different needs when it comes to makeup for darker skin tones as opposed to lighter skin. What was it like having those conversations with Korean brands? Were there any missing nuances?
DG: Oh, for sure. [Expanding shade ranges] is not simply about making an existing foundation darker. I feel like [our needs] are almost the opposite of what people in Korea like. For example, some people in Korea may like a shade or two lighter for their foundations, whereas we want the perfect match. We want it to look exactly like our skin. We also have different undertones. We’re not all golden; we’re not all neutral; we’re not all cool-toned. I find that a lot of Korean foundations run a little bit pink. I think it’s because it has a brightening effect on lighter skin tones, but on us it ends up looking like Peppa Pig!
How do you envision the future of K-beauty in the global market, especially in terms of its impact on beauty standards and trends?
DG: I think a lot of people still feel like they have to stay inside a certain box of who they’re supposed to be, like they can’t step outside of it. But I hope we’re moving toward a future where everyone feels free to enjoy whatever they want. At the end of the day, it’s just makeup. There shouldn’t be all these rigid rules about who gets to use what.”

It can be easy to fall into a fashion rut in the spring when April (and May) Showers make it wet and dreary outside — practical rain gear typically takes precedence over chic looks, after all. But that’s not the case once summer rears its head. Sure, we’ll still have the occasional thunderstorm, but the sunny, warm forecast makes outfit planning much more enjoyable. As such, it’s time to recharge your fashion batteries and feel inspired again. Luckily, the runways provided no shortage of summer 2025 trends to try over the next three months — and beyond.
And if you can’t resist partaking in a viral internet trend, you’ll have several aesthetics to pick from this season too. For instance, the fisherman look — striped shirts, boat shoes, and bucket hats à la Nancy Meyers — reigned at shows like Sacai and Miu Miu. Now, the nautical style is gaining momentum off the runway, with indie brands such as Everlane and STAUD releasing beachy ready-to-wear and accessories. Meanwhile, the boho revival is maintaining its grip on the masses this summer, thanks in part to Chloé’s creative director, Chemena Kamali, who has championed the look since taking the helm in 2023. The gauzy sheer dresses from the fashion house’s latest collection are sure to come out to play this season. From sequins to gingham, green and athletic-leaning styles, there are plenty of new trends that will be hard to unsee (and shop for) once you notice them.
Scroll below for a rundown of the summer trends ruling the style scene, as well as corresponding pieces to add to your warm weather rotation.
Summer 2025 Trend: Shine Bright
Sequins are no longer reserved for festive holiday parties or lavish nights out. This season, designers encourage you to incorporate sparkly looks into your everyday wardrobe. Prada, for instance, styled a shimmering silver gown underneath a bright yellow raincoat — because why not look fabulous in a storm? Sandy Liang, on the other hand, debuted a mini dress with a silver sequin top and lace sleeves, offering up something unexpected to wear to your next Saturday brunch. It may seem extravagant to dazzle in the daylight, but as shown by these heavy-hitters, there’s no reason you can’t.
Summer 2025 Trend: Boho Babe
Sienna Miller, Kate Moss…you know where we’re going with this. These two early aughts fashion icons embody the modern-day blueprint for the free-spirited look. In 2025, the eclectic aesthetic has been reimagined through a luxury lens. On the aforementioned Chloé runway, romantic lace frocks, billowy separates, and long pendant necklaces arrived in droves. Over at Isabel Marant, Glastonbury-ready fringe dresses, tops, and mini skirts effortlessly swished back and forth down the catwalk. You needn’t be at a musical festival to dabble in the trend, though; a sultry see-through or dreamy layered look are essentials for an evening out.
Summer 2025 Trend: Spot On
Designers have spoken: Polka dots are summer’s It print. Toeing the line between timeless and trendy, the pattern was out in full force on the runways. At Carolina Herrera, looks were splashed with the pattern in classic black-and-white, appearing in the form of matching sets, crochet dresses, pumps, and more. (Side note: Did you catch Meghann Fahy wearing one of the label’s older polka dot gowns in Netflix’s new hit series Sirens?) Acne Studios made the case for marrying a form-fitting spotted tee with wide-leg denim jeans or shorts. In the wise words of Hannah Montana: “Pop it, lock it, polka dot it.”
Summer 2025 Trend: Fisherman Core
Nautical, fisherman, coastal chic — whatever you like to call the aesthetic, there’s no denying it’s at the forefront of fashion this summer. The sea-inspired trend began brewing on the spring 2024 catwalks, primarily at Miu Miu (hello, boat shoes), and has now migrated to our social media feeds. In fact, we have a sneaking suspicion that not a day goes by without scrolling past a fashion person showing off their fisherman sandals or seashell jewelry. For a runway styling approach, take cues from Sacai and wear your Breton stripes alongside tailored white trousers.
Summer 2025 Trend: Sporty Spice
The industry’s love for athleisure is unwavering. Case in point: Technical yet elevated outerwear popped up at Miu Miu (by way of blouson jackets) and Rabanne (windbreakers). The shows also ushered in a new crop of luxe sweatpants, such as the roomy drawstring pairs at Tory Burch, which were rolled up and layered atop equally cute one-piece swimsuits. Any way you slice it, chic activewear is coming for your summer wardrobe.
Summer 2025 Trend: Green With Envy
Brat summer may be in the rearview mirror, but designers are keeping the green trend alive and well this year. And not just the Nickelodeon slime-esque hue Charli XCX became synonymous with — other shades, such as emerald, pistachio, and olive, got the runway stamp of approval, seen at the likes of Victoria Beckham, Valentino, and Gucci, among many more. Sorry, butter yellow, you have some competition.
Summer 2025 Trend: Mad For Plaid
You probably reach for your plaid looks ad nauseam during the fall. This year, however, designers want you to pull the classic pieces out a bit earlier. Acne Studios went all in on the pattern, styling a button-down shirt with a bubble skirt in a contrasting plaid print. Kallmeyer debuted a flirty checkered tank top alongside understated black trousers. Consider this the perfect between-seasons trend to tap into when early September rolls around.

This is summer, where the sun rises earlier and sets later, lighting us up with hope. The Summer Solstice, which commences on June 20th at 10:42 p.m. EST, symbolizes the sun’s and Mother Earth’s mighty force. Now is a time for us to honor the natural rhythms of the universe by setting intentions and manifesting our future under its brilliance. Use the longest day of the year to connect with your inner self and those you love.
Simultaneously, Cancer season begins, allowing us to give a little tenderness to ourselves and others. Splash around and do the crab dance to create memories, and have fun.
Read your horoscopes below to find out what the Summer Solstice will bring for you.
Aries
Home is where your heart is, so treat your dwelling with TLC. Bring greenery into your house and make sure you cleanse its surroundings. Refreshing its aura will give your property the seasonal pick-me-up it needs. You might spruce up the color palette with vibrant dishes that radiate positivity. A little effort goes a long way. You will appreciate the enhancements and changes you make.
Taurus
Dust off your sandals and wear them to a social gathering that’s been on your radar for weeks. You’ll have a lot of pleasure bonding with your squad and building connections with their guests. With your network evolving, you will feel as though you’re on top of the world, which you are. This is the beginning of a new era, so you should enjoy it.
Gemini
The best things in life are free, but that does not mean you can’t benefit from a financial glow-up. With some Summer Solstice magic, you can increase funds from your job or side hustle. Try to save your pennies for the future because you never know when the financial cushion will come in handy (or when you will want an impromptu trip to the mall).
Cancer
You’ve been playing second fiddle to your besties and brood (or at least feeling that way, even if you’re not articulating it). This is your time to shine and sparkle. Make it your birthday goal to break out from the shadows of the moon and let the exuberant sun illuminate your amazing attributes. You are an inspirational crab worthy of awesomeness. Go get ’em!
Leo
With Leo season starting soon, you might take a backseat from the Solstice events and parties by staying home. You’ll find that decompressing and unwinding with a mocktail in hand and mask on your face is the reviver you need. Sleeping in over the weekend is another must to restore your energy levels. You’ll be ready to celebrate your solar return next month.
Virgo
You’ve gotta give to get back to the good. Think of this as a turning point that pushes you to level up and become more active in your local community. Spend a few hours with your neighbors channeling your energy and time in a humanitarian endeavor. This work will be emotionally fulfilling and bring new friends into your life who share similar interests.
Libra
Your career is getting more interesting, now that exciting opportunities are coming. Whatever you do, accept the assignments from your boss or client because it’ll lead to other projects. You could receive a promotion, so be prepared for a great chance that will bring momentum to the vocational growth you’re going through. The best is yet to come when it comes to your professional winning streak.
Scorpio
Some of your best moments and ideas come when you’re in a place that heartens your visions. Exploration and adventure are two forces that can change your mindset and your motivation. Elude the mundane and head to the beach or the countryside: your mind will be energized and you will buzz with ideas. The vacation will be the most rewarding part of the summer. Plan your escape, Scorpio!
Sagittarius
Usually, you lead with intellect. Your intuition is ramped up, making it easier than ever to trust your gut. You’ll be able to get down to the bottom of anything thrown your way and survive the local gossip grapevine by taking stock of your vibes. You might want to journal your dreams because insights will be relevant to you.
Capricorn
Let love in this summer. A crush or significant other is pledging their loyalty to you. Their words are full of kindness, allowing you to change your relationship status and recommit to them. Don’t get so caught up in the romantic affair that you lose track of other obligations. Keep one foot on the ground while you get lost in the clouds.
Aquarius
Last year, you spent the summer trying to mend friendships. This time, you’re basking in the optimism of knowing you’re in a wonderful place with those you care about. Rather than dwell on the past, relish in understanding how far you’ve come and that you’re the water-bearer who is vital to the scene — proving you will have a thrilling season and you’ll be extremely popular.
Pisces
Creativity is a gift that you’re lucky to have. You will be surprised how much artistry you’re able to bring to the table during the first days of summer, due the Solstice, and then in the upcoming months. The cosmos is highlighting your talents, which is why you’re seeing major shifts in your work. Embrace the current flow and allow it to motivate you towards excellence.

Crochet dresses are one of summer’s key staples — right alongside breezy linen and lightweight cotton dresses, matching sets, and the kinds of easy pieces you’ll reach for on repeat. This season, they feel especially fresh thanks to updated takes that span from open-knit minimalist styles to colorful, embroidered designs and classic swimsuit coverups.
Designers have leaned into both playful and pared-back interpretations — from fisherman-inspired netting to checkerboards and artisanal, hand-knit textures that feel more refined than retro. Whether you’re channeling a coastal European summer vibe (think a headscarf, raffia bag, and sunglasses) or styling for city life, these dresses deliver.
Toss one on with sneakers for weekend errands or sightseeing, ordress it up with thong kitten heels or your go-to sandals. Whether you’re headed to a party, a picnic, or on vacation, the crochet dress belongs in your warm-weather rotation. Ahead, some of our favorites.

Crochet Mini Dresses
Crochet minis are the definition of throw-on-and-go. Their lightweight feel and shorter hemlines make them ideal for hot days, while the textured finish adds polish. From beach plans to casual nights out, these styles bring personality and playful energy to your warm-weather lineup — and make a strong case for showing some leg.
Crochet Midi Dresses
The midi is a summer go-to for a reason — long enough to feel styled, breathable enough to keep cool. Crochet adds a tactile feel to this universally flattering length, making it perfect for everything from weekend hangs to backyard parties. Wear it with ballet flats for an easy, French-inspired look, or layer it with a lightweight blazer if you’re navigating the office-to-outdoor balance.
Crochet Maxi Dresses
If you’re leaning into the fisherman aesthetic or European summer vibe, the maxi is your hero piece. These longer silhouettes feel relaxed yet directional — ideal for beach days, travel, or just catching a breeze on a hot city afternoon. Pair with heeled flip-flops, stacked jewelry, and sunglasses for an unfussy finish that still makes an impact.
