Looks like jelly shoes are coming in hot this summer. A lot of content creators have been picking up the Chloé jelly mules and the almost sold-out Ganni x Melissa collab (there are a few sizes at END left). Jelly shoes may feel a little childish at first, but trust the process because they’re so cute and chic and add a bit of whimsy to your outfit. ASOS have a range of colourful jelly shoe options that feel fun but also elevated.

A y2k style that we keep spotting season after season, is tops layered over tops. Brands like Paloma Wool and Gimaguas are known for this sort of look but it’s become so popular that you can practically find it everywhere. And, to be honest, you don’t even have to buy the two layers together – you can mix-and-match to your own tastes, or you can even play around with the tank tops you have at home.

What’s more fun than being able to just slip on your shoes in the summer? Sneaker brands have been chopping off the back of their most popular silhouettes, giving us an array of sneaker mule options that you can slide right on and get on with your day – no laces or anything.

Every cool girl is wearing capris this summer. Whether it’s more of a gaucho silhouette or the classic y2k cut, capri pants are everywhere. You can go the full Carrie Bradshaw with a kitten heel or a ballet flat, or you can make it more casual with a pair of Mary Jane or ballerina sneakers, or even a sneaker mule (we’ve got plenty of options above).

Butter yellow tones are everywhere this summer. It comes in T-shirts, in activewear, even in the rerelease of the Nike Moon.

Long gone are the days of sporty sunglasses and tiny rectangular frames. We’re in our diva era, and divas need big chunky shades. Opt for oversized aviators, thick y2k frames à la Paris Hilton, or ‘70s style designs.

The split-toe is everywhere, and this summer it’s all about the Air Rift. Nike’s been coming out with fun new colourways and new takes of this unconventional sneaker. It’s comfortable and undeniably cool girl-coded – a foolproof method to level up any outfit.

David Beckham did it first in 2004 (to his own premiere, might we add), so why can’t we wear this out and about in 2026? A trending combo since last year (see Alex Consani), the flip flop + jean duo really brings a casually chic vibe to the function. Stick to more low-rise jeans with a straight or bootcut fit for that effortless y2k look.
