TikTok’s effortless and familiar Coastal Grandmother aesthetic may be irresistible to some, but if neutrals and minimalism are your worst nightmare, please meet its cousin: the Amalfi Coast Grandma. Think lightweight trousers, fruit-print tops and comfy sandals — like something your stylish grandma would wear on vacation in Italy.

If you haven’t yet embraced a more flamboyant style sensibility, consider this your signal to do so. It’s all about daring silhouettes, vivacious prints, funky accessories, and color, color, color. Invoke your inner Emily in Paris, Iris Apfel or Doja Cat with your own take on unapologetic maximalism.

Dua Lipa, Kim Kardashian, and Bella Hadid are just a small fraction of celebs who have worn the everlasting cut-out trend. It’s the perfect style for summer’s rising temperatures, since you can let parts of your body breathe! Extend the trend down to your feet with a gladiator heel (yes, that 2000s shoe is back in an updated version).

Linen’s breezy nature makes it a great choice for summer — so why not go all in with matching sets in the relaxed fabric? Angelina Jolie and Katie Holmes are just a few stars who have stepped out this season in laid-back linen pieces.

Sleek satin dresses have stood the test of time for good reason. They are versatile and always look chic, not to mention, comfortable to wear during the hottest time of the year. Gwyneth Paltrow, Winona Ryder, and Sarah Jessica Parker wore satin slip dresses in the ‘90s, and they’re favored today by Bella Hadid, Hailey Bieber and Kourtney Kardashian.

When you’re in a jeans-and-a-tee mood but want something a bit more elevated, combine this season’s cut-out trend with a basic (yet skin-baring) top and laid-back denim.
