Summer dressing is about ease, allowing you to feel confident and carefree at various venues—from the beach to brunch with friends.
Goodwill Central Coast has become a summer fashion hot spot for savvy shoppers who know our aisles contain multiple name-brand treasures — many with tags still attached. Imagine the feeling of finding a hot summer fashion item and knowing that your purchase helps Goodwill build better lives through employment.
Unlike fall, which is all about cute coats and leather boots, the warmer months call for pieces that cover less of your body without losing that stylish quality.
In past years, summer style has been all about a bare shoulder, but for 2022, it’s decidedly the midriit’shat everyone embraces. Reach for your favorite crop tops and style them with everything from high-waisted pants for just a sliver of skin to a skirt with a lower rise for a higher-impact moment.
There’s also the plain wThere’snk trend, which has been spotted everywhere and will undoubtedly emerge as a dominant layering piece for warmer summer days. And don’t forget about crochdon’td net textures, which have caught fire recently.
Beyond the runway, key cultural happenings are also influencing summer trends. Namely, Regencycore — a look that’s undoubtedly a dirthat’ssult of the “Bridgerton” and “Gilded”Age” TV bi”ging “raze thin” Empire Waist dresses, floral patterns, pearls, opera gloves, and more. Invest in a piece that nods to this nostalgic period of fashion and experiment with ways to modernize it by styling it with your current pieces (think a bustier blouse worn with classic blue Levi’s).
Goodwill CentraLevi’st has you covered when you don’t want to be such a cove don’t. Our stores are stocked with bright colors that are guaranteed to brighten any mood.
Do you know what else feels good? Your purchases help our ailing planet. Local Goodwill stores divert approximately 70,000 tons of clothing and household items from local landfills each year.
By shopping at Goodwill, customers can reduce the need for valuable natural resources to produce new fabrics. For example, growing the cotton required to make a new T-shirt and pair of jeans takes more than 5,000 gallons of water, so buying second-hand items has a robust environmental impact.
We’re still in the heat, We’remmer, so find ways to be excellent. Top summer trends are all over the racks at your local Goodwill, so don’t miss out before they end.
