Sustainable Summer Fashion: Top Trends and How to Wear Them
Hello, fashion enthusiasts! Leigh Anne here, your friendly designer at The Disco Dolls Designs. As summer heats up, so does the desire to stay cool and stylish while remaining eco-friendly. Let's dive into the top sustainable summer fashion trends and how you can rock them with ease.
Why Sustainable Fashion and Summer Go Hand in Hand
Fabric choice is crucial when it comes to both sustainability and comfort. Natural fibers like cotton, linen, and bamboo are your best friends during the hot summer months. They breathe better, helping to keep you cool and comfortable. On the flip side, synthetic fabrics lack breathability and tend to hold onto unpleasant odors when you sweat. That's a no-go for those sizzling summer days!
The Disco Dolls Designs: Your Summer Style Guide
At The Disco Dolls Designs, we prioritize sustainable luxury with a touch of whimsy and glamour. Our in-house clothing line, The Uniform Project, offers versatile pieces perfect for the summer season and is made from organic bamboo jersey. Let’s take a closer look at some of our standout items:
1. Coco Shorts:
These light and breezy shorts are a summer staple. Pair them with a flowy blouse for a chic daytime look, or dress them up with a fitted top and statement accessories for an evening out.

2. Patsy Dress and Top:
The Patsy pieces are incredibly versatile. The dress can be worn on its own for a simple, elegant look or paired with a belt and a light jacket for added flair. The Patsy top, meanwhile, is perfect with our Coco Shorts or your favorite skirt or jeans.

3. Maeve:
Our Maeve dress is designed to be light and airy, making it ideal for the summer heat. Wear alone for a sexy effortless look. Or mix and match it with other items in your wardrobe to create multiple looks with minimal effort. For example a flowy underskirt, kimono, or leggings.

DIY Sustainable Fashion Tips
Sustainability isn’t just about buying new pieces; it’s also about reimagining what you already own. Here are a few DIY tips to help you stay cool and stylish this summer:
1. T-Shirt Transformation:
Take a plain t-shirt and give it new life by cutting off the sleeves and neckline. This simple modification creates a trendy, breathable top perfect for hot weather.

2. Upcycle Old Clothes:
Instead of discarding old clothes, think about how you can upcycle them. Add some embroidery, turn pants into shorts, or combine fabrics to create unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.
Styling Tips for a Sustainable Summer
Layer Lightly: Opt for light layers that you can add or remove as the temperature changes.
Accessorize Wisely: Use sustainable accessories like straw hats, wooden jewelry, and cotton scarves to enhance your outfits.
Stay Hydrated and Protected: Remember, looking good also means feeling good. Stay hydrated and protect your skin with sunscreen or those light weight layers.
At The Disco Dolls, we're passionate about blending sustainability with style. This summer, embrace the heat with our carefully crafted pieces and innovative fashion tips.
