When it comes to summer fashion, personal comfort and style go hand in hand. Over the years, I’ve learned that not everything that’s trending is worth adopting, especially if it doesn’t suit your lifestyle or body type. For instance, jelly shoes have made a comeback, but I find them impractical during hot weather. My feet tend to sweat more in them, which leads to discomfort and slipping. Plus, they remind me too much of those quirky 'spray-on shoes' from that animated movie, which doesn’t quite scream summer chic to me. Balloon pants are another trend that just doesn’t fit into my summer wardrobe. Their oversized, voluminous look can be fun on the runway, but for everyday wear in the heat, they feel heavy and restrictive. Tight, breathable fabrics are what I prefer to stay cool and comfortable. High-waisted ripped jean shorts have been a staple for many, but if you have a short torso like me, they can sometimes create an unflattering silhouette that feels off-balance. Also, I think it’s important to prioritize fit over trends to feel confident and look your best. Lastly, bag charms and excessive accessories are something I try to keep minimal. While they’re a fun way to personalize bags, sometimes less is more—especially in the summer when all I want is to tote around something light and fuss-free. Fashion should always reflect your personal taste and comfort, especially in the summer heat. So while some trends may look good on others, it’s perfectly okay to skip those that don’t work for you.
