Ranking Summer 2023 Fashion Trends Based On Wearability
By EMILY HUNT
14. Denim On Denim
Due to denim’s heavy, restrictive nature, double denim doesn’t make a practical choice. In the hot summer weather, it can lead to discomfort and chafing.
13. Low-Rise Waistlines
While low-rise waists are making a comeback, they can be unsightly and uncomfortable in the summer. When paired with summer tops, they pose a risk of unwanted exposure.
12. Metallic Everything
An eye-catching fashion choice, metallic clothing is wearable so long as you’re in a cool climate. In hot and humid weather, metallic clothes have limited breathability.
11. Platform Shoes
Platform shoes are more wearable on some days than others. They’re perfect for casual strolling, but may not fit the bill if you’ll be walking around all day.
10. Mermaidcore
Inspired by “The Little Mermaid,” mermaidcore embraces flowy fabric, shine, and sparkle. However, it’s often not practical and can lead to discomfort in hot weather.
