Sabrina Carpenter's 'Espresso': Your Ultimate Guide To Summer Fashion Trends

‘Espresso’ is the shaping up to be the song of the summer, and Sabrina Carpenter is shaping up to be the popstar of the decade. After shocking fans with the mischievous outros to her song ‘Nonsense’ whilst supporting Taylor Swift on the Eras Tour, it became obvious that she had all the charm, wit, talent, and style to become the next big thing. 

Then came 'Espresso'. With a catchy chorus, a line that may or may not be related to a certain famous love interest and a trending TikTok lyric, the song has taken Sabrina to a new level of popularity. 
She debuted it at her first Coachella gig and released a playful music video to go alongside it. 

If 'Espresso' is going to be the song of the summer, we need our outfits to measure up to the flirtatious retro-beach aesthetic that Carpenter has curated for her latest era. 

Go to town with brown. 

First off, we need to embrace darker colors. After all, you can’t build an outfit based on a song about coffee and not include the color brown. 

Sabrina wears a skin-tight chocolate brown Norma Kamali dress complete with a halter neck that replicates the swim-suit style of the sixties. 

Imagine heading out for a post-beach day dinner in this asymmetrical brown halter neck top, a fiery orange mini skirt and, of course, chocolate brown Sabrina-inspired platforms. 

Add a bit of Sabrina sparkle. 

In the music video, Sabrina stuns in a sparkling Retrofete set as she boogies on the beach. 
To capture the feeling of dancing under the hot summer sun, throw a crystal embellished mini dress over a simple black bikini. Although Sabrina doesn’t wear shoes while she sparkles, this look can be finished off with a pair of black platform flip-flops. It's beachy – with a price tag. 

Get a thrill out of frills. 

Don’t worry if you can’t get your hands on the frilled Viktor and Rolf couture set that Sabrina wears as lounges on the sand, you can find your frills elsewhere. 
Stroll along the beach in a frilled pinstripe pink mini dress. It’s fun and flirty, just like the song. 

Buy something blue. 

About to get arrested for throwing a man off a boat and stealing his wedding dress? Don’t worry, there’s a perfect outfit for that. 

Sabrina lounged in the back of a police car in an electric blue Marni minidress and a chunky heart pendant necklace by Brooke Callahan. 
Offset your blue mini dress with a hot pink shoulder bag and matching headband. Of course, the look wouldn’t be Sabrina-approved without your very own heart pendant. 

This summer, like all others before it, will be like an espresso – delicious but gone before you know it. So, press play on a Sabrina Carpenter playlist and savor the moment in the coolest summer fits.
