What are you seeing people wearing out and about?

Petty much as the title! I am not in the UK, but here I seem to be seeing a lot of black summer dresses, a lot of white summer dresses, and a lot of white skirts with black vest tops. It doesn't entirely reflect what I have seen in the shops, so I am interested as to why,and wondering if it is a local micro trend, or more widespread?

The brown is Disapointing, on the whole, but it’s a trend, and trends are designed to release money from pockets. Once everyone’s bought brown, they can start selling florals again!

There's an influencer I follow and everything she buys is brown. Brown and cream spotty dress for an event in Italy. Brown linen top and brown jeans with brown hair and fake tan brown skin. Brown rimmed sunglasses. It does look so dull.

Brown really suits me so I'm not looking forward to it inevitably being "out" however I don't wear much of it in summer as it just doesn't feel like the right look in warm weather. Hopefully the trend will survive through to autumn and winter.

Lots of a line mid denim mum shorts with nice floaty tops or cotton vests here too, with a chunky sandal.

If there’s a dominant colour around here it’s blue. Medium shades of denim, especially shorts and cobalt blue tops, dresses and trousers. I saw a teenage girl today with crimped hair - I haven’t seen that look for a long time!

I saw my neighbour in a gorgeous fresh looking blue and white sundress, striped- have seen quite a lot of blue and white stripes around, but this looked both cool and elegant- but it could be her as much as the dress!
