Streetwear Summer Trends

This season, streetwear trends add a fresh twist on styles from diverse environments and update closet classics. Look out for these four summer streetwear trends¹:

Street-ready sportswear
Utilitarian styles
Outdoor-inspired elements
Casual corporate attire

To visualize these top-tier styles, think of everyday uniforms with practical accents like ripstop fabric and cargo pockets. Clean, tailored looks with laidback overtones, and sport-inspired pieces like jerseys and joggers are also front and center.

The Art of Minimalist Summer Streetwear

Whether you’re navigating the streets of Brooklyn or kicking back in Culver City, ensure your summer staples are breathable—breathability is comfort, and comfort is confidence.

Versatile fabrics that move with you are essential for warm days and balmy nights. Breathable fabrics like cotton, linen, or mesh²:

Are designed for maximum air passage
Allow for air circulation close to the skin
Help your body release more heat
Promote cooling effects

Styling trend-forward outfits with these materials makes for the ideal summer streetwear wardrobe.

Look for these textiles while you put together the styles we’re about to walk through, and you can’t go wrong. But don’t worry—this is far from limitation. There’s something for everyone, and every occasion.

4 Minimalist Summer Streetwear Outfits

Choose trends that feel true to you and put a fresh spin on your favorite streetwear staple to capture summer style. Below, we’ve curated four low-key looks for you to try this season.

1. Monochrome

A monochrome summer outfit makes for a striking style without straying too far from comfort. To achieve this look, don’t overthink it—these simple pieces perfectly channel the sportswear wave taking over the streets this summer months.

Pair a breathable t-shirt or tank top like our Waffle Knit Tank in black with lightweight shorts or joggers. We like the Tricot Side Stripe Pants for their comfy feel and sporty aura. Finish with minimal sneakers for an easy-to-wear look.

2. Button-Down Casual

Button-down shirts bring this summer’s corporate-casual trend into any cityscape. They’re versatile, too. Button-down shirts come in all colorways, patterns, and fits.

Choose a printed top like the Leopard S/S Shirt or our Linen Blend S/S Shirt in black floral to match the high energy of a night out.

If you want something more muted, opt for our Poplin Painter S/S Shirt in black or the Striped S/S Shirt in gray and white. Round out the streetwear outfit with chino shorts or lightweight pants for a laid-back summer look that’s ultra-stylish.

3. Elevated Basics

Elevated basics have a part to play in your wardrobe every season. For summer, tailored shorts provide a paired-down option in addition to your baggy base layers. Crisp tops diversify your dynamic prints and offer a simple solution to styling on the go.

Pair our Summer Shorts in brown over a lightweight tee like our Oversized White T-shirt. Finish the summer outfit with low-top sneakers for an elevated casual attire.

4. Casual Outing

Casual outings are sure to fill up your agenda this summer. Consider adding pieces to your wardrobe that take summer staples to the next level. Longline denim shorts and boxy fits keep up with streetwear trends while offering a blank canvas to style from.

Layer our Mesh Knit Sweater in cream over your favorite white tee to revive a summer staple. The loose, open-knit design keeps you cool while adding texture you can feel and see. For denim that defies the norm, pair with our Studded Pearl Denim Shorts in blue.

If your closet is missing warm-weather top layers, it's time to refresh. Trade in your leather jacket and suede bomber for our Frayed Denim Jacket. A cropped body and oversized fit updates this tried-and-true classic. Button pocket detailing approaches the utilitarian trend in a subtle, wearable way.

Seasonal trends refresh your women or men’s capsule wardrobe and empower you to explore different cuts, vibrant colors, and combinations. To keep up with current styles, choose fashion-forward pieces that seamlessly blend with your summer fashion.
