The new summer season will definitely not let you get bored. At the peak of popularity, neon colors, mini, as well as nostalgia for the 1980s and 2000s. Bright colors, unusual silhouettes and styles will add fire to your wardrobe!
So, what will be in fashion this summer? And most importantly, where can I find it all now? Understanding with image stylist Yulia Borisova.
Where to buy
Agree, just finding out what is in fashion, for example, t-shirts with cats and pink culottes, is not enough. I want to immediately understand where all this can be bought and for what money. Therefore, listening to the advice of our expert, we were already rummaging through the Internet without wasting time. They decided to look for stylish new clothes there: it is both faster and, as a rule, more budgetary than going to offline stores. At least when it comes to Avitowhere we went to update the wardrobe.
It has long been not just a bulletin board “from hand to hand”, but the most popular shopping platform in Our Country. Which, moreover, is famous for the fact that there is almost everything here – even what is not in offline stores, and at affordable prices. Here we will check. For those who didn’t know, it’s easy to find new clothes here – both from private sellers and in stores operating on the site. To do this, it is enough to select the filter “with a tag” when searching. If you are ready to wait for the thing you like, we advise you to expand the geography of searches and study ads from all over Our Country, and not just from your hometown.
So, we listen to the advice of a stylist and look for the main trends of the summer on Avito. And so that the task does not turn out to be too simple, we will try to buy as many things as possible for 10 thousand rubles.
Trend: miniskirt
What the stylist says:
Every fashionista should arm herself with at least one trendy short skirt. The choice is yours – with ruffles and drapes, a straight line in a minimalist style or a statement piece with sequins. The latter, by the way, is easy to fit into everyday life, combining it with simple things. A white shirt and sneakers are great companions.
What we found on Avito:
Warm and thin, leather, denim and sequins, for 100 rubles and for 10 thousand, brands and nonames. Only the filter “with a tag” found more than 3,5 thousand options for every taste and budget. One of the first things that caught my eye was a skirt with sequins – exactly on the advice of a stylist. Also branded.
But our task is to dress not only fashionably, but also not to spend much at the same time. Therefore, we set a price filter and find an excellent brand skirt for ridiculous money, which so far cannot be bought in a regular store. By the way, there is an opportunity to purchase it with delivery – we will use it.
Trend: dress and skirt with feathers
What the stylist says:
Feathers are a stunning element that will add chic to any ordinary thing. If you are bold and slim, be sure to include a dress or skirt with feathers in your wardrobe. You will be the star at any party! Well, for an easy transformation of your image, get a clutch with feathers. It will carefully emphasize your eccentricity and make it clear that you are aware of trends.
What we found on Avito:
Find a skirt with feathers? Easily! Search on Avito gave out more than 30 options! And among them, by the way, there are also models of those same departed brands. They are nowhere to be found, but Avito found.
We choose a skirt of a gentle mint shade.
The girl-seller asks for her only 1,5 thousand rubles. We ask a few additional questions and arrange a meeting to try on the item.
Trend: Floral print dress
What the stylist says:
Floral print has not lost its positions for several seasons. This summer, choose red flowers – in such a dress you will definitely not stay in the shade. But do not forget to pay attention to the size of the flowers – it should be in harmony with your figure. The larger the drawing, the more it increases the volume.
What we found on Avito:
Eyes fled – how many options. Evening dresses, sundresses on shoulder straps. But I want something summery and elegant. We leaf through the pages of the site (it captivates no worse than going to ordinary boutiques) and on one of them we notice a dress with red flowers. True, in another city, but then again, there is Avito Delivery, which means a money-back guarantee if the item does not fit. We buy!
Trend: high platform sandals
What the stylist says:
Shoes from the XNUMXs are at the peak of popularity again. In the new season, do not miss the opportunity to flaunt them. They will give the image of piquancy and audacity. In addition, they are incredibly comfortable and practical.
What we found on Avito:
Sandals decided to pick up under the dress. We need the size, to be honest, non-standard – the 40th. In ordinary life, finding stylish shoes for such a Cinderella is not easy. Here, caring sellers indicate the size immediately in the header of the ad. As a result, we managed to find a branded model for only 1000 rubles!
Trend: corset
What the stylist says:
Corset is the perfect choice for every girl. This part of the wardrobe will immediately make the image outstanding and adjust the figure if necessary. Wear it over a dress, t-shirt or shirt. And also separately as a top with jeans or skirts.
What we found on Avito:
At the request of “corset” we have long considered mixed lace elements of underwear and those corsets that the stylist is talking about. Then they guessed to correct the request. We suggest that you need to look for a “corset top”. We liked this one.
Trend: Low Rise Jeans
What the stylist says:
The low waist on jeans is back from the XNUMXs. Did you miss? Then feel free to choose the right model. It is worth paying attention to such wide-cut jeans – they will look more unusual. But be careful: they can also visually reduce growth. If these jeans do not adorn you, choose a more versatile model with a medium fit.
What we found on Avito:
We liked 2 models at once: flared and skinny. After some hesitation, we opted for the flared version.
Но скинни занесли в «избранное» (да, и такая функция есть на Avito!). If, after trying on, one does not fit, you can always quickly order a spare.
Trend: cropped shirt
What the stylist says:
A cropped shirt is a great alternative to tops. If you want something new, check out the free options with a raw edge – they look fresh and unusual. Plus, these shirts are suitable for almost any figure.
What we found on Avito:
They didn’t look for a raw edge, just as they decided not to pay attention to shirts with lacing. Unfortunately, there is no ideal figure for them yet. But they found a good shirt of a classic look. If desired, you can even go to work on a particularly hot day.
Trend: high slit skirt
What the stylist says:
A high-cut, high-waisted skirt is sexy and daring. But don’t overdo it! For every day, choose laconic companions for her – a simple white t-shirt and sneakers will become ideal allies for a skirt. But to create an elegant look, take sandals with thin jumpers, a top or a blouse.
Tip:
What we found on Avito:
Alas, we failed to follow two tips at the same time: a high waist and a high cut. So we decided to focus on audacity and find a higher cut at a lower price. There were a lot of options, but we fell in love with pencil skirts. And they chose one of them – the one in which the landing turned out to be as high as possible.
****
Conclusion: in general, we managed to find 9 trendy new clothes with a total cost of 9290 rubles.
At the same time, they made a couple more “notches” for future shopping. For example, a vintage skirt with a peacock feather print, brought from the USA, is waiting in the wings – you definitely won’t find this in ordinary stores!
And a light green suit with shorts from a well-known brand is, according to the stylist, also one of the trends of the season.
But this purchase was decided for another time. When there will be money and a waist.

Cheat sheet: how to buy clothes online
Many shoppers may and would like to avoid wasting time shopping, but are afraid of being disappointed with an online purchase. Someone is worried that the fabric will not be so pleasant to the touch, many are worried about the size – S-ka for one brand can easily turn into M-ku, or even L-ku for others. Together with stylist Yulia Voronina compiled a small cheat sheet for those who would like to turn online shopping from torment into pleasure.
Tip one: вещи с необычным декором нужно рассмотреть со всех сторон.
“Often some things look cool in the photo, but in life they are not at all impressive. The latter include clothing and accessories with feathers. The high quality of the feathers themselves is important here, as well as their fastening to the fabric. Otherwise, feathers can reduce the cost of the image, ”notes Julia Voronina.
Among other things “at risk” – knitwear. If it is of poor quality, then the blouse will not have time to become loved, it will deteriorate after the first wash. Yes, and before it will look untidy.
The third thing that needs special attention is the slip dress: the photo does not show how thin the fabric is. If too much, then the dress will shine through and “bubble”, giving a shapeless silhouette.
In all cases, there is only one solution: ask the seller for additional photos and videos, preferably with close-ups, where the quality of the fabric and decor is clearly visible. And also – from the fitting, to evaluate how the thing looks on the figure.
Tip two: The main thing is to know your size.
Many people are afraid to order shoes and corsets online, but the designer dispels these fears. According to her, you can safely choose a corset according to the size grid indicated on the site and even take a little extra to wear over other clothes. As for shoes, it is enough to focus on the size grid and clarify the completeness of the model.
By the way, you need to know your measurements for all purchases: at least three main ones – waist, chest, hips. You can also measure the sleeve length.
“So you can easily navigate in different sizes – whether it be European or Italian,” says the stylist. – You also need to know what clothes fit you best: someone suits trousers and jeans in classic styles, others – boyfriends or skinny. Carefully look at how the thing sits on the model and read the description of the thing.
