The fashion week catwalks have never been more intriguing, especially as we all trade in our loungewear and return to socialising this summer.

Elevate your wardrobe this summer with these 2021/2022 fashion trends: 

Spice up your summer on the Sunshine Coast with some vibrant colours! It’s time to trade in your earth tones and neutral shades for cosmopolitan pinks and vivid greens. Whether you want to incorporate these colours in a big or minimalistic way, you’re sure to grab the attention of passers-by. The eccentric colours can transform any dress or outfit into an expressive fashion statement that makes you feel confident. 

If you want to boost your confidence even more, be bold with big shoulders. This trend aims to twist traditional silhouettes to dramatise the figure and create powerful looks. The good thing about this trend is that it is inclusive to everyone. You can go full-on dramatic with the ‘bigger equals better’ motto or incorporate bold shoulders in a subdued way that still has the same effect. 

Gone are the days of tailored and oversized suits as this Australian summer sees the introduction of fashionable boilersuits, bodysuits, jumpsuits, and more. As ‘all-in-one’ pieces, this trend has the added benefit of requiring minimal styling. These suave suits are perfect for summer as they’re comfortable, playful, and challenge preconceived notions of what fashionable summer wear should look like. 

Sheer clothing has become a staple in Australian summer wear since Jean Paul Gaultier set out to implement it in contemporary designer wear, and we can’t get enough of it. When you combine sheer with quirky prints and colourful patterns, you have the perfect fashion pieces for idling along coastal beaches and laying in the sun. From beach throws to fashionable kimonos, sheer wear is appropriate for both the day and night. 

The idea of ultra-wide trousers may seem odd for a summer trend, but they include everything you need for the hot weather – comfortability, versatility, and elegance. This trouser concept is inspired by the 80s and intends to free women from the constraints of silhouettes – especially when it comes to the working day or formal events. Ultra-wide pants are a way to feel elegant but edgy. Since they hold so much drama in themselves, styling them with a basic top or jacket is sure to do the trick.
