Models during Paris Fashion Week on June 25, 2023.
With summer 2023 officially here, street style trends around the world are in warm weather mode. The vibe for summer 2023 is relaxed, monochrome, and comfortable. Think oversized button down shirts, cotton crop tops, and khaki. Yes, that’s right, khaki shorts, skirts, and cargo pants are back. To dress things up, bring in satin or silk and add a baguette bag. For footwear, dad sandals, platforms, and mules all make the cut. Understated is the look for summer 2023, although short hems and face jewelry are also statement-worthy options. Here are some of the biggest trends to try this year.
Try An Oversized Button Down Shirt
Sonia Lyson on June 28, 2023 in Berlin, Germany.
An oversized button down shirt is both bold and easy. Whether you’re hitting up the local thrift store or hunting down something in the menswear department, the look is simple to achieve. Wear partially open or tucked in on one side for a warm weather, relaxed vibe that can work at the office or the beach.
Stock Up On Cotton Crop Tops

Crop tops are still the thing for summer 2023. Keep the look relaxed and comfortable for warm weather with cotton. Even cutting up an old t-shirt can do the trick. Keep the vibe athleisure with workout gear or pair with oversized cargo pants to be on-trend for the season.
Pull Out The Platform Shoes

If you really want to make a statement, extreme platform shoes are trendy. Pair with an otherwise utilitarian look for a perfect summer 2023 outfit. Or, opt for more subtle platforms if you’re looking to make a quieter entrance.
Pair A Crop Top With A Skirt

For a boho-inspired look, try a crop top with a flowy skirt. Bonus points for mixing and matching patterns and bringing in gingham and plaids.

Bring In Satin Or Silk To Dress Things Up

Last year’s slip dresses are still in style or you could opt to mix and match silk shirts and skirts to play with different patterns. Animal print also makes for a fun statement piece.
Think Casual With Oversized Cargo Pants

Summer 2023 really is about comfort. Oversized cargo pants pair well with a fitted cotton top (crop or otherwise) and give off a relaxed vibe for everything from running errands to office work.
Find Those Overalls

If you have overalls or jumpers buried in your closet, pull them out to match the laid back vibe of summer 2023. Wear over a bra or crop top for a sexy but modest look perfect for warmer weather.
