Backyard picnics, a beach getaway or a wedding celebration can all be elevated with the perfect summer wardrobe.
If your weekends are booked up with opportunities to dress to impress, you might be searching for the hottest (pun intended) fashion trends of the summer.
"Good Morning America" went straight to industry experts to help compile the top five trends you won't want to sleep on.
"Summer is all about popping fun colors into your wardrobe. It is certainly dress season, and we continue to see fashionable sets that are meant to be wardrobe staples to be worn to and from the beach and into the office," Alex and Michael Toccin, the founders of fashion brands TOCCIN and LDT, told "GMA."
"Since summer travel is on everyone's mind, we love suggesting purchasing items for your closet like dresses and fashionable knits that can be worn in different combinations," they added.
If you already own staple summer pieces you love, additional trends this season can help spice up your current go-to basics.
"There are so many fun trends this summer -- from mermaidcore to sheer looks, vibrant colors and more, summer is a great time to try something fresh and fun," style expert for Marshalls and T.J.MaxxMecca James-Williams told "GMA."

Trend 1: Crochet and fringe

The Toccins added, "Summer is the perfect time to explore bold colors! Try a girl's night out in hot pink or orange and you will be sure to stand out."
Trend 4: Fashion sets
"We're all about a set! It's a no brainer way of looking put together at all times," the Toccins told "GMA".
Trend 5: Elevated athleisure
"Elevated athleisure will keep you stylish and cool during all your hot summer days. White on white outfits and chic matching sets are both on-trend and comfortable -- the best of both worlds," James-Williams said.
