As I gear up for my first real summer in Dallas, one of my first stops had to be North Park to see what Free People summer trends were in store.Their laid-back boho-chic vibe are perfect for the Texas heat. I snagged a few easy tanks, some comfy sandals for walking, and added some statement jewelry and oversized shades to the mix. I also couldn’t resist picking up a printed skirt, a straw hat, and a beach-ready oversized bag, just in case those spontaneous vacay plans (that I totally haven’t made yet!) come knocking.
Beach Boho
When it comes to my beach attire, I gravitate towards flowy silhouettes and lightweight fabrics—really anything that complements my swimsuits. That’s why this versatile skirt caught my attention: its eye-catching print and the option to wear it as a dress make it a must-have in my book. Pair it with a statement necklace and a wide-brimmed sun hat, and you’re ready to embrace the summer vibes to the fullest.
Oversized Everything
I’m all about oversized, relaxed, and airy fits, especially when summer hits. This outfit is ideal for strolling the boardwalk and seamlessly transitions to the beach. With cotton barrel pants keeping things cool and comfy, paired with a billowy blouse sporting a classic polo silhouette, and leather sandals adding a touch of sophistication, it’s a winning combination. While a layered necklace is optional, an oversized bag is a must-have for your beach towel and, most importantly, your SPF.
Summer Florals
I love prints in the summer, and this collection had me swooning. Choosing between the green and orange colors for the skirt was tough, but I went with orange because it matched flawlessly with this playful beaded tote bag. The cami’s texture caught my eye—it’s a sophisticated twist on your everyday tank. As for the boho belt, I surprised myself by falling for it; its cool country vibe really completes the look (especially fitting since I’m embracing my Texas roots now).
Baggy Jorts
Who doesn’t love versatile pieces that offer endless styling possibilities? These raw hem jorts are my latest obsession—they’re incredibly adaptable. Pair it with Free People’s classic bandana top, available in an amazing 14 different prints, seriously the styling options are endless. Whether you opt for a casual vibe with Birkenstocks or elevate the look with kitten heels, you really can’t go wrong. Top it off with a summer hat or your favorite sunglasses for the perfect finishing touch.
Euro-chic
This will be my summer uniform. I’m all about layering, sticking to a monochrome palette, and adding accessories to enhance the overall look. The seersucker button-up immediately caught my eye with its light, airy texture—perfect for layering. Paired with high-waisted, loose-fitting jeans and a soft cotton baby tee, all in coordinating tones, this outfit strikes the perfect balance between sophistication and comfort. The mesh flats are trendy and versatile, with bows adding a playful charm. And let’s not forget my favorite pieces: the oversized leather bag and sleek frames, which truly elevate the overall fit.
White Midi Skirts
I stuck with the same concept for this outfit. For a fun twist, I opted for a flowy skirt and a bandeau in matching colors. The oversized denim pullover is a must-have for layering this season, and you can also drape it over your shoulders for added flair (or if it simply gets too hot). Complete the look with ring sandals, shades, and an oversized bag to tie everything together.
