Welcome back to the Faire Fashion Index, our guide to the past month’s top sartorial searches to keep you on the cusp of what’s trending today.
It’s June. School’s out. Camp is in full swing. The cicadas are most definitely buzzing. And shoppers are doing what they do best: scouring for the season’s hottest trends. It’s clear from the data that the Fourth of July is on everyone’s mind. From crystal-embellished headbands with tiny American flag pins to “Land of the Free” graphic tees and trucker hats stamped with 1776, retailers are taking what’s cool and infusing it with a solid dose of Americana for the upcoming holiday.
They’re also continuing to stock up on summer staples, like everyday rompers, denim shorts, and knit dresses. We’re excited to see two fresh trends this month in our top 10:
- Linen clothing, a surefire hit for summer as temps go high. From breezy linen pants to airy sleeveless tops (and linen sets!), it’s the perfect material to keep the heat at bay.
- Kimonos, a simple Japanese-inspired accessory that adds style, color, and a bit of boho influence to any outfit—whether you wear it over a bathing suit at the beach, as your favorite loungewear, or with denim shorts and a tee. We expect to see more of these as the summer goes on.
But for now, let’s dive into the data.
