In case you missed it, it's a Sardine Girl Summer! Here are the most stylish pieces to help you embrace the trend.

      First, we had Coastal Grandma, then the Tomato Girl, and now I present to you Sardine Girl Summer—the newest trend ready to dominate our summer wardrobes. While it may seem unusual at first, I assure you it’s much chicer (and just as charming) as you might imagine. Envision gold fish pendant necklaces, sequined swimsuits featuring sardine prints, and airy dresses adorned with a pattern that you likely don’t already own. While this might appear to be a maximalist's fantasy, there's truly a sardine-inspired fashion option for every taste. Bottega Veneta’s Sardine Tote is believed to be the initial inspiration—its sculptural handle showcases how elegant this trend can appear. Thankfully, the brand has also embraced the theme in sunglasses, designed in a similarly wavy sardine-like form.

      For a more subtle, minimalist interpretation, check out Isabel Marant’s gold-tone fish earrings, which add a bohemian touch to summer outfits, or Simon Miller’s raffia bag that instantly brings a playful element to this seasonal staple. If you’re eager to fully explore the whimsical side, consider fish-printed full skirts, embroidered cardigans, and even a sardine can clutch. For those who prefer a maximalist approach, look to Caetana Botelho Afonso’s nearly sold-out collaboration with Never Fully Dressed—a collection that demonstrates how sardines can be as bold as sequins or florals.
