See what to wear for May 2021.

It’s May 2021, and it’s time to get ready for summer. That means shorter hemlines and crop tops for that perfect chic look. Sundresses are always in style, and top brands offer plenty of breezy shapes. From off-the-shoulder designs to wrap silhouettes, get ready to take on the warm-weather season. Don’t forget about accessories like straw hats and cat-eye sunglasses. Neutral colors such as black and white pair well with shades of light blue, peachy pink, and emerald green. Wild animal prints, as well as blooming florals, stand out. An oversized cardigan is also the perfect coverup. Discover more May outfit inspiration below!
