Old money style continues to dictate trends. Of course, in summer-2024 not every girl dreams of turning into an aristocrat, as it was last season. However, visually expensive images are still to the liking of many fashionistas. The ideal shoes for such outfits are mules. Let’s find out how to choose those among the variety of trendy models.

Most often rich aristocrats stop at pairs with a closed toe. By the way, the images of old money – the only ones that are still appropriate pairs with a rounded toe. They remind the cult slingbacks Chanel, which for many years do not go out of fashion. Of course, trendy models with a sharp front are also relevant. However, it should not be grotesquely elongated. If you like shaped solutions, favor rectangular socks that refer to the shape of loafers.

The images of aristocrats do not do without pairs of heels. Even if you wear extremely comfortable shoes, the sole should still not be flat. The optimal solution is sophisticated kitten heels or “shot glasses”. Stilettoes are also not the best option, shoes with them can look too vulgar.

Carefully consider the choice of material. Of course, the best option is dense leather. “Expensive” looks both smooth and with a large crocodile or snake texture. But remember that in the second case the shoes must necessarily be monochrome. Suede pairs are also suitable, but they look elegant only in light colors. But you should definitely refuse from trendy satin or denim mules.

Most often, shoes in the style of old money remains without decoration. There are few exceptions to this rule: color-block style solutions with contrasting toe and pairs with large “vintage” buckles on the front part. Contrary to stereotypes, old-money models don’t necessarily have to be white or black. Choose pairs in any appropriate visually expensive shade.

In summer, linen becomes the favorite material of fashionistas. And if shorts or tops made of this fabric are not so easy to integrate into the closet – there are strict rules of stylization of such things, then natural dresses are a real salvation in sultry days. You can create an image with them in five minutes, and then feel comfortable all day thanks to the properties of the material. Flax perfectly transmits air. Let’s see how to choose the perfect option for the warm months.

The main rule – the style should not be tight. Flax does not stretch well, so such a product is unlikely to sit on the figure. If you want to emphasize the curves, choose fitted options with a flared hem. Another solution – shirt dresses. In the linen version of such models with buttons look especially elegant. But relaxed straight things are also suitable. With the design you can play as much as you want: let the dress be decorated with dropped shoulders, slits in the waist or along the leg.

The color of such a thing is easy to choose. Flax is beautiful in any shade, even if you decide to stop at an uncolored gray version or basic white and black. At the same time, colored material is no less spectacular: attention deserves bright pink, tangerine or scarlet dresses. But trendy pastel shades look especially noble on linen, for example, delicate mint or melted butter tone.

But linen has its disadvantages. Due to the fact that it is a rather rough fabric, delicate trendy decor in the form of flounces or ruffles does not harmonize with it. If you still do not want to give up things in infantile style, pay attention to products with white lace ruffles and inserts. But there are no other restrictions: feel free to buy clothes with voluminous appliqués or intertwined straps. You can give your imagination space when choosing prints: floral, animalistic and abstract patterns look great on this fabric.

Summer is traditionally considered the season of sandals and sandals. But what about those who do not like to expose their feet, do not want to demonstrate pedicure in public or want to save the delicate skin? Many people think that in such cases will necessarily have to endure discomfort. But this is not the case at all. We have collected a selection of five closed models, which will definitely not be hot.

Ballet flats
Ballets remain relevant for the second warm season in a row. But the matter, of course, not only in the fashion component. Properly selected shoes allow you to feel comfortable throughout the day. So that the feet were definitely not hot, it is better to prefer textile solutions, for example, denim. And the best way to cope with the heat are trendy mesh options.

Mary Jane shoes
Mary Jane shoes are considered one of the main trends of summer. Due to the fact that in such shoes the upper part of the foot remains open, it is not hot even on sultry days. If leather or suede versions seem too dense, they can be replaced by lighter models with an actual satin coating.

Fishing sandals
Because of the popularity of fisherman sandals, there are many variations of this pair in boutiques. One of them is with a weave that forms a closed toe. However, there is still space between the leather jumpers, so such pairs perfectly let air pass through without trapping heat inside.

Closed-toe mules
A compromise solution can be mules with a closed toe. Such shoes expose only the heel, but due to this detail, the air easily penetrates inside the shoe and allows you not to feel discomfort in the heat. Unlike slingbacks, mules leave the back of the foot free, so the air circulates better.

Slingbacks with closed forefoot
You don’t have to give up on slingbacks either. Pairs with a closed toe are suitable for those who need to fix the foot. In this case, it is provided by a thin strap on the heel. It is unlikely that you will feel a significant difference with mules, but you will definitely be comfortable.

In recent years, the prefix “kargo” has been added to almost everything. Pants and skirts with voluminous pockets remained among the top trends for a long time, with this decoration appearing on vests, jackets and even shoes. However, by the 2024th obsession has passed, and once popular pairs with such a design are now more a familiar part of the closet than a bright trend. But still, large pockets have not disappeared without a trace. They are back in fashion, but only in a new incarnation – this summer every fashionista needs a cargo bag.

Especially popular in this warm season will be small cargo bags. Such models play on the contrast: to the accessories of medium and micro size are sewn capacious pockets, which cover almost the whole product. We saw such solutions at Acne Studios shows.

Both variants with the usual two pockets on one side and with a lot of small but voluminous details placed on top of each other are topical. An example can be found in the spring-summer line of Fendi. It is worth looking at accessories with similar decorations on narrow sides – such models appeared in the collections of Miu Miu and Acne Studios. Toots are not without pockets, either – they should have wide and long overlapping elements, like Max Mara bags.

Pockets don’t have to be the only decorative element of a bag. They can be complemented by “flirty” details – for example, bows, as we saw on accessories from the spring-summer collection of Acne Studios. Solutions with contrasting stitching are also trendy.

Textured leather models, variants with prints – checkered or with the brand’s logo, as well as accessories in bright colors – are also on trend.

Sporty style has captured the hearts of fashionistas this season. Among the main trends of the summer aesthetics blokecore and tenniscore, images in which assume training things. Of course, not everyone will dare to wear boxer shorts or jersey. But there are also less “binding” clothes, which will help to easily compose an actual look – we are talking about things with a polo collar. Let’s find out how to choose them.

The easiest way to integrate fashion aesthetics into your closet is to buy a T-shirt with a lapel collar. Both a tight-fitting model and a spacious one will do. But carefully choose the length in the second case: it is better to stop either on shortened, or on lengthened versions. Products up to the upper point of the pelvic bone are very likely to violate the proportions of the figure and make you larger.

If we talk about dresses, then such a collar looks organically on minis with a pleated skirt, like tennis players, and on models of a straight cut, reaching up to the middle of the thigh. It is important that the outfits were not deliberately feminine. Otherwise, the sporty detail will seem like an alien element on them.

However, it is not necessary to limit yourself to the usual solutions. Knitted vests, cardigans, longsleeves and sweatshirts with polo collar are in fashion, so feel free to choose the option to your liking.

Such products look best in knitwear. Let things really resemble fancy variations of the classic polo. But in the choice of color, you do not need to limit yourself. Relevant as models in achromatic shades, and in pastel or deep, such as burgundy and dark blue. But be extremely careful when choosing products with prints. Floral or animalistic patterns can dissonant with a sporty cut. If you consider monochrome solutions boring, it is better to choose a variant in horizontal stripes.
