Seasonal Style Forecasts

The 'Surf's Up' and 'Epic Proportions' Trends

Maguire highlights the “surf’s up” trend, characterized by relaxed, beachy silhouettes and vibrant colors. Hero styles for this trend include cropped tanks, Bermuda shorts, and jelly sandals. Coral, the color of the season, features prominently alongside stripes, oversize florals, and tie-dye.

The contrasting “epic proportions” trend is more minimalistic and refined. This style is defined by balloon pants paired with cropped trenches, and easy shift dresses accessorized with stacked jewelry.

Refined Details: Softness Meets Structure

One admired look showcased an elevated essential style: a collarless blouse paired with a fringe skirt layered under a knit cardigan tied casually at the waist. This reflects the current preference for dressing that is relaxed yet refined.

Another collection explored the balance between softness and structure through subtle lace detailing. This hint of lace adds femininity without being overly delicate, appearing on items like denim jackets, shorts, structured micro skirts, and slip dresses, making it an easy trend to incorporate for impact.
