The Trend Every Cool Girl Will Be Wearing This Summer

If you could take a peek into my “style inspo” Pinterest board, you’d find it overflowing with one particular trend: country club style or, more broadly, preppy fashion. My summer vibe is that I want to look like I just came from a tennis lesson with a hot French instructor at all times.

Represented by “tennis club” graphic sweatshirts, pleated skirts and dresses, polo collars, sweaters draped over your shoulders, and more, the preppy fashion trend is especially great because it’s not only cute and stylish, but it’s also super comfortable. Cool girls everywhere are going to be rocking this trend all summer long—all you have to do is take one quick scroll through Instagram to see it in your feed.

But being a cool tennis girl isn’t out of reach. This style is versatile enough that anyone can make it work with their own personal style, so we’ve searched the internet for all of the best pieces that represent Country Club Chic.
