I Inquired with Gen Z about their summer fashion choices—these trends were mentioned repeatedly.

      As summer approaches, I find great confidence in fashion-savvy women who are aware of emerging styles—not in a way that simply follows trends, but rather with instinctive flair that feels fresh and dynamic. Instead of crafting yet another "summer trends" article, I decided to consult some of my go-to sources. I'm referring to the women populating my FYP who always manage to catch my eye and inspire me to fill my cart. I reached out to several stylish Gen Zers, ranging from those who love trousers to coastal outfit enthusiasts and minimalists exploring fringe, to learn what they are wearing, buying, and looking forward to right now. The outcome? A curated blend of outfit ideas, lesser-known brands, and specific trends that resonate on a personal level—and are truly wearable. Consider this your go-to guide for an ideal summer wardrobe.

      What trend are you most eager to wear this summer?

      I’m absolutely loving the fringe and lace details that are trending right now. Both elements bring movement to an outfit without being excessive. Fringe feels playful and perfect for summer festivities or vacations, while I’ve always found lace romantic when styled in a contemporary way. Zimmermann has a beautiful way of interpreting both, making pieces that exude effortless femininity, sophistication, and wearability.

      Are there any brands you think are worth watching this season?

      I’m currently obsessed with Proenza Schouler, Posse, Destree, Éliou, and Christopher Esber. Each of these brands has a distinct vibe and offers pieces that feel innovative yet timeless.

      What’s your favorite outfit formula?

      I adore a well-coordinated matching set because it provides versatility. You can wear it together for a polished look or mix and match the pieces separately. I have a polka-dot set from Cara Cara, complete with a matching vest, which I've styled in numerous ways. I often find myself pairing the pants with other closet staples.

      What's something in your wardrobe that might surprise people?

      Probably a simple workout set and sneakers. I actually wear that most on my off days.
