As the days get warm, hazy, and lazy, re-energize your wardrobe with these hottest trends:
It's all about being noticed this summer! Try bold, vibrant prints on dresses, shorts, and shoes. Look for neon accessories to pair with khaki or white. Polynesian prints and Monet-inspired designs are big trends not to be missed, and animal prints are still in style. For something more feminine, go for floral patterns or chiffon fabrics. Tie-dyed materials continue to be popular, and for those who dare, choose horizontal stripes.
Add crocheted dresses and accessories to your wardrobe.
The 80’s look is back with jumpsuits, rompers and aviator sunglasses (make sure your sunglasses have UV protection).
Ripped or tear-and-repair denim returns this summer in jeans, shorts and capris.
It may be hard for some of us to believe, but boots can now be worn year-round! (Fashionistas may recall the 1970’s look of shorts paired with knee high boots.) Bootie sandals, ankle boots, and open-toe boots are very trendy. As flats or with heels, these come in traditional black or brown but can also be found in wilder colors. Fabrics can replace leather and suede, although both of these latter materials are acceptable. Also look for styles with ruffles or bows.
Choose necklaces with hearts, keys and oversized pendants or seek out beaded designs and chains.
A handbag with big ruffles is a fun way and inexpensive way to add some punch to your outfit.
