Are you just as ready to go out and enjoy a normal summer? Now that the worst of times (fingers crossed) is behind us, we can start enjoying good old activities like traveling, dining out, gathering with friends, and going back to the office. We are all thirsty for a buzzing summer. It’s going to be exciting for most of us to wear colorful pieces of fashion again this spring and summer. We’ve had it with comfy loungewear and boring neutral colors. And you’re most certainly trying to figure out what’s becoming in summer fashion and influencing everyone’s sense of style these days.
Shopping for summer fashion in 2022 is a daunting exercise that almost no one can keep up with emerging styles. And putting together a functional wardrobe requires some planning and housekeeping. After 2 years of lockdowns and social distancing, the world of fashion is bursting in primary colors and beaming neons from the 80s. We’re experiencing a parade of cropped tops, cargos, and platform shoes reminiscent of the 90s. Where do you begin? For me as a Gen Xer, these trends are passe. I have no desire to invest in pieces that I didn’t like as a young adult in the 90s. So why would I bother wearing them now? Instead, the focus should be on colors and practicality. Let’s face it, ladies, after the age of 40, our expectations of style and fashion revolves around personal choice and lifestyle, not just trends.
Must-haves for a renewed summer fashion
Now that I’ve set the record straight, let me show you some of the most elegant pieces you can fetch from Chicwish this spring and summer. Here you’ll find everyday fashion inspiration ideas for your upcoming vacation, dinner party, work event, or weekend.
Happy and cheerful colors are the theme of summer 2022 because we’re all tired of neutral casual wear and ready to mingle. Orange, yellow, and green are just what we need to lift our spirits and embody optimism and hope. That’s why you’ll see tons of bright colorful styles throughout spring and summer.
Vacation Dresses
We were so glad to go away on a mini-vacation recently to the Dominican Republic. Words can’t describe how relieved and relaxed we felt sitting under an umbrella and listening to the waves caress the shores. Just before packing my gear for the trip, Chicwish sent me some of the latest pieces as gifts to wear on our vacation. Each piece was beautifully made, fit perfectly, and doesn’t require ironing. In fact, every outfit you see me wearing in this blog is a Chicwish piece.

Weekend look
Weekends are all about running errands and catching up on social life. I spent mine cleaning the house, going to the gym, taking my child to sports classes, then unwinding at a restaurant or a friend’s place for dinner. Chicwish summer collection has everything you need for a weekend style.
Party time
Who else is looking forward to listening to dance music, mingling at parties, and having good old-fashioned fun? I recently told my friend that I don’t have “party” outfits anymore. It’s been years since donning a short or bodycon dress and even longer since shaking the “boodie” on the dance floor. I guess it’s due to a lack of self-confidence. Chicwish evening styles appealed to mature women who are seeking a modest yet flirtatious style.
Back to work
I’ve also started planning a wardrobe for back to work. After a three-year hiatus, I realized that most of what I wore while at home are casual and fun styles that didn’t reflect the type of attire most of us wear to the office. It’s not like I don’t have anything to wear. I do and I could wear most pieces. My dilemma is not knowing what people wear to the office after the pandemic. Is there a new dress code? I can only assume that it’s a combination of minimalist and relaxed looks. I don’t know. Not only that, I also feel it’s important to show a trusting personality to my new coworkers. I want the first impression to emanate trust, calm, and confidence. I want to be an ally, and I want them to like me!
