June is the official kickoff to the summer season. Memorial Day marks the final days of the school year, the approach of the longest day of the year — the summer solstice in June — and summer style staples like white T-shirts and the best blue jeans. This winning combo always works, and they’re year-round must-haves. However, the following trends are emerging, specifically in the colors, cuts, and materials to style your best early summer outfits. Take inspiration for upcoming graduation parties, summer weddings, al fresco dining, brunch with friends, and lakeside gatherings this June.

In spite of April showers, spring, and the promise of warmer months ahead, fuels this edition of My Style. After a long Michigan winter, the urge to break hibernation and head outdoors is real. Whether you gravitate toward a well-manicured formal garden or the overflowing bounty of edible and cutting beds, your garden, like your home, should bring you joy. Choosing what you love makes it a place you want to linger, whether that means puttering with pruners, reconnecting with nature, or gathering with family and friends.

Michigan winters demand layers, but that doesn’t mean sacrificing style. When February brings crisp air and snowy landscapes, it’s the perfect opportunity to show off your fashion sense while staying cozy. Forget bulky and boring—this year, we’re all about chic, functional, and fun outfits that will have you looking and feeling fantastic, even when the thermometer dips.

January style trends are highlighted by designers’ in-between collections—pre-spring and resort wear. Since My Style in our city may include snowbirds, ski bunnies, or none of the above, SHIFT explores today’s collections with options for everyone: those kicking off the New Year at an exquisite warm-weather destination and everyday fashion enthusiasts looking to refresh their winter wardrobes ahead of spring.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, the season of gathering has arrived. The year’s grand finale is all about reconnecting with loved ones, sharing warmth, and creating lasting memories.

As the days grow shorter and the air turns crisp, Michigan transitions from September’s Indian summer to the vibrant hues and bustling energy of fall. It’s a season that uniquely blends the excitement of back-to-school, the thrill of football Saturdays, Halloween parties, apple orchard corn mazes, and the breathtaking beauty of autumn leaves—each inspiring a distinctive yet cohesive fashion vibe that captures the spirit of Michigan in the fall.
