Ah, Summer. Where the weather is hot enough to drive you crazy and the beach is a sweet, fun relief. Summer may not be my favorite season, (I’m looking at you, Fall) but it is definitely a great one for outfits!! Beach-wear, swimsuits and bikinis, and lots of cute skirts and shorts. And don’t forget a pair of sunglasses to protect your eyes from the bright sun!

I specialize in edgier fashion, and that definitely works in the Summer too. As long as you’re ready to wear a LOT of black in the heat lol. It’s not so bad though, the aesthetic is worth it in my opinion. 

I’ve got a few examples and tips below for edgy outfits ideas in the heat! Prepare to be hotter than the sun. ; )

This is definitely one of my favorite outfits of all time. I’ve received SO many compliments in this- I remember walking into a restaurant at the beach and having the hostess tell me how cool I looked! She was the absolute sweetest. This outfit is badass! Keep in mind though, its definitely revealing, so if you’re not comfy in revealing clothes that’s totally ok- I only wear it at the beach.

Wear tight tops and flowy skirts for a perfect pairing. Adding body jewelry such as body chains, necklaces, or just piercings (I love piercings but I removed mine a while ago) pulls it all together.

Everyone knows I’m a huge fan of black and red. Red is my favorite color actually, bold bright and fiery. I feel like it represents me as a color. Pairing the two colors in the summer, whether its a more modest look or a mini skirt and corset, will always make you look cool. Trust me.

A classic edgy look is always an oversized band tee and some shorts underneath. You can never go wrong with this outfit. It’s easy and SO cute. Pick your favorite band, get some merch and rock it. I added some sunglasses because its always super bright in the Summer. Add jewelry for extra fun.

Tips-

Here are some good tips for making an edgy summer outfit;

• Keep it light and airy! Flowy skirts, oversized t-shirts, crop tops and/or softer tops if you’re not a fan of crop-tops.
• Make the color scheme dark and moody. Red, black, emerald green, deep purple; stuff like that.
• Add some platforms, sandals or boots! Sandals probably work best for hot weather.
• Add some jewelry! Body chains, edgy necklaces, (for example, a chain necklace, choker, or layered necklaces) earrings, and/or LOTS of rings. I wear men’s rings cause you can find some cool styles, although I have to wrap a band-aid around them to make them fit.

Thanks for reading! I’m always here for fashion advice. Rock on babes!

Live bravely,
