Summer Punch

A new season brings a whole new set of styles. This summer’s looks really pack a punch and are loaded with rich contrasts—and, of course, rich fabrics. Here are some of Fashion Fabrics Club’s favorite forecasted trends from the oncoming season with links to buy similar fabrics so you can make your own versions at home.

Floral Bomber Jacket

Winter’s shearling bomber gets a warm weather update this season—shedding its fuzzy faux furs in favor of more breathable, breezy fabrics, and in the boldest floral prints.

Denim Minidress

Midi lengths are definitely having a moment, but that doesn’t mean the mini is sitting in the sidelines. This season, button down minidresses are upping the ante of casual denim, offering the perfect amount of legroom to show off the season’s leg climbing gladiator sandals.

Wide-leg Crops

Easy, breezy-chic pieces are a warm weather essential. This summer, it’s all about the wide-leg crops. Whether in linen, cotton, or denim, these slouchy slacks give a polished spin to loungewear. Pair with chunky platform sandals or wow-worthy wedges to conjure 70s-chic.

Jumpsuit

The adult version of the onesie has made its way from bedroom to boardroom, thanks to a modern spin: perfect tailoring, sexy cutaways, and slinky fabrics. Such an easy-chic piece in the summer wardrobe arsenal—with a shrunken blazer and pumps it’s office-ready, while a pair of nudist heels and decadent jewelry make it night-out worthy.

Suede Midi Skirt

Whether it’s button-front, side-slit, or pleated, the suede midi skirt is a surefire staple this summer. It plays to the boho-luxe moment in the most effortless way, playing well with the rest of summer sartorial members—casual Ts, denim jackets, and leather slides.

Sleeveless Trench Coat

Left open over a frothy dress, it’s ready for work. Worn alone, belted, with strappy metallic heels, it’s ready for date night. Light, cotton twills in neutral tones work best for this versatile piece, allowing it to go well into fall when tossed on over long sleeves.
