Updating your summer style doesn't mean that you must splurge on a full-on shopping spree. A few thoughtfully chosen pieces can totally refresh your wardrobe—and your vibe—for the season. Think: breezy silhouettes, bold accessories, and colors that radiate for sunrise coffee runs all the way to an evening dining al fresco. It's all about mixing comfort with just the right amount of polish (pun intended!).
Bold Metallics
“Step into the future of fashion with a focus on high-tech metallic finishes and reflective materials,” Morgan says. For summer, that means gold, silver, and chrome
are showing up everywhere from strappy silver sandals to chunky gold bangles to mini mirrored handbags. These pieces instantly elevate even the simplest outfit.
Wear It With Nails: “Pair a reflective jacket with holographic shoes and chrome nails or opt for a Gelish Cat Eye Polish to create an otherworldly
effect,” Morgan suggests.

Luxe Feels
Summer is the perfect time to embrace fabrics that feel as good as they look—and nothing says effortless elegance like silk. From slinky camisoles to flowy slip dresses,
these pieces bring a touch of luxury to even the most laid-back summer day. It's about feeling luxe without the fuss.
Wear It With Nails: “The luxe textures will be mirrored in nails, think velvety pink matte nails or glossy sapphire blue,” says Morgan. “This season's
nail trends will reflect a sense of luxury, richness, and attention to detail.”

Mellow in Yellow
Summer's sweetest style obsession? Butter yellow. Softer than lemon and warmer than beige, this creamy pastel is popping up in everything from cashmere tees to
buttery-soft sandals. It's a refreshing alternative to bold neons, offering just enough color to feel playful while still being ultra-wearable.
Wear It With Nails: “The beauty of yellow lies in its versatility,” Morgan explains. “Whether you opt for a creamy monochrome look or a more artistic
design (micro-French anyone?), there's no wrong way to incorporate this sunny shade into your style.”

Roaring '25s
Animal print is back—and this time it's bolder, more playful, and totally reimagined for summer. From oversized leopard spots to colorful zebra stripes, these wild
prints are taking over swimsuits, sheer cover-ups, and matching sets. Unexpected color combos and lightweight fabrics make even the most daring prints feel wearable
in the heat.
Wear It With Nails: “Leopard and tiger prints will not only take over clothing, but nail art as well,” says Morgan. Play up prints with textures and
finishes, “and let your fingertips do the talking!”
