Hot Trend Watch: What to Wear When It’s 90° and Rising
Share
When the temps are climbing and the sun won’t quit, your outfit needs to do two things: keep you cool and turn up the heat (style-wise, of course). At Sunkissed Trends, we’re all about balancing breathability with boldness — pieces that feel like a breeze but still make a statement.
If your summer style needs a glow-up, we’ve got you. Here’s what to wear when it’s 90° and rising:
☁️ 1. Mesh Moments
Mesh is having a major moment, and it’s more than just a festival staple. Layer a mesh top over a bralette or bikini for instant cool-girl vibes, or go bold with a mesh maxi over a mini slip dress. It's breathable, unexpected, and always photogenic.
Style tip: Pair with denim shorts or wide-leg trousers to balance out the sheerness.
☀️ 2. Breezy Matching Sets
Two words: effortless impact. Coordinated sets in lightweight fabrics like linen, gauze, or cotton blends are a go-to when it's too hot to think. From crop tops + midi skirts to oversized button-downs + shorts — matching sets = instant outfit, zero stress.
We love: Sun-washed colors, tie-front tops, and playful prints that scream “vacation ready.”
🌬️ 3. Cut-Out Everything
Strategic cut-outs are the summer equivalent of layering — they keep things cool and create shape without piling on fabric. Look for dresses with side cut-outs, tops with open backs, or asymmetrical silhouettes for that edgy, elevated flair.
Pro tip: Let the cut-outs do the talking and keep your accessories simple and golden.
🌴 4. Light-as-Air Dresses
Maxis, midis, or minis — flowy dresses are your ride-or-die when it’s scorching out. Opt for spaghetti straps, halter necklines, or off-shoulder styles in breathable fabrics. Bonus points for tropical prints or beachy textures like crinkled cotton and linen blends.
Add on: Slides, layered jewelry, and a woven tote for the full sunkissed fantasy.
😎 5. Statement Sunnies & Sun Hats
Your accessories should work just as hard as your outfit. Oversized sunglasses, retro frames, and straw hats are more than cute — they’re essential. Top off your look with UV protection that doubles as a mood.
Current faves: Cat-eye lenses, bucket hats, and visor-style brims.
💧 Don’t Forget: Hydration & SPF Are In Style Too
Whatever you wear, make sure you’re drinking water and slathering on that SPF. The best summer glow is the healthy kind.
✨ Final Takeaway
Hot weather doesn’t mean boring outfits. It’s your chance to get creative with texture, silhouette, and bold accessories — all while staying cool and confident. Whether you're headed to brunch, the boardwalk, or your backyard, Sunkissed Trends has the pieces to keep your style sizzling.
