Boutique Clothing Trends to Watch This Summer

Summer fashion is all about ease, expression, and embracing the sunshine in style—and this year’s trends do just that. At our trendy boutique in Leavenworth, KS, Springfield, Mo and online we’re seeing a wave of looks that are breezy, beautiful, and effortlessly artistic. If you’re wondering what to wear as the temperatures climb, here are a few of our favorite boutique clothing trends to try out this summer.

Loose and Free-Flowing Pants & Layers

There’s nothing quite like slipping into a pair of relaxed, artistic clothing pieces that feel as good as they look. This season, loose-fitting pants—think linen, wide-leg styles, or soft fabrics—are having a serious moment. Pair them with a free-flowing top for an easy, put-together look that keeps you cool.

Or go for a layered approach: lightweight tanks topped with an airy kimono or short summer button-up are ideal for going from brunch to errands without missing a beat and not sweating the heat. Want a one-and-done option? Try a loose, breathable summer button up dress—effortless, chic, and made for movement. Button up and go with a simple dress that lets your handmade Lu jewelry shine...or layer it up like the photo below. We paired our button up dress with a graphic tee and shorts, and left it open as a layering piece.

Wear a Bit of Western Flair (yeehaw)

The western trend isn’t going anywhere—but this summer, it’s more refined and wearable than ever. Give your look a modern cowgirl twist with a western graphic tee that speaks your style.

And you can't forget the jewelry! Many of Lu's handmade jewelry designs have a western flair to them. We suggest trying a mix of chains, metals and turquoise jewelry for the real wild west trio.

We also suggest layering some of Lu's handmade earrings or hand-beaded bracelets to give a western appeal.

Whether you’re strolling the farmer’s market or heading to a backyard BBQ, you’ll bring a little bit of "the wild midwest" with you!

Subtle and Sweet Details

Sometimes, it’s the little things that make the biggest impact. Adding a soft, feminine detail to a simple outfit can take it from basic to beautiful. One of our favorite go-to’s?  A simple top with a sweet detail. Look for pieces with unexpected whimsy like ruffles, textured fabric, or button detailing to add that extra intrigue.

And we can't forget the ultimate detail in Lu’s handmade jewelry—each piece is one-of-a-kind and made by hand in our jewelry studio-boutique in Leavenworth, KS, making it the perfect finishing touch.

Try a Lu-unique necklaces to elevate your everyday look.

Stars and Stripes, Blues, Reds and White

Nothing says summer quite like red, white, and blue. Whether you’re headed to a backyard cookout, or taking the fam to fireworks at the lake - this timeless color combo screams summertime. You can incorporate it with a stars or stripes graphic tee shirt or find some blue jeans adorned with an Americana twist!
