Summer Trends!

This summer is packed with fashion inspired from the 1970's, lots of denim, lovely white outfits and a mix of your classic gingham!

 

This trend is all about flowy fabrics and letting your inner hippie shine through! I have seen a countless  number of stores with this trend. My favorite aspects of the 1970's trend are the flowy dresses and the lace detail on clothing! If you pair one of the dresses with cute sandals and a coordinating bag or floppy hat, you have yourself a perfect summer outfit, which can be great for a casual day or dressier event! You're bound to find something fitting at every price point. Some stores I've seen with this trend are Macy's, Free People, Hollister, and Forever 21! 

This trend might sound a little obvious, but during the past Spring/Summer fashion weeks, many designers like Burberry, Gucci and Michael Kors had an increase of denim in their collection. Boyfriend jeans and high waisted jeans and shorts have been extremely popular this past year and their popularity is continuing through the summer months! To transition your boyfriend jeans into the warmer weather, ditch your ankle booties and pair them with a wedge, pointed flat or heel. Jean jackets are a staple for spring, summer and even fall! They go with almost every outfit and they're great to wear when it's a little cooler out, find a really nice one like this one at Macy's. I think high waisted jeans and shorts make your outfit look a little classier and interesting. You have endless options for outfits with them. I would definitely grab a pair you don't have any yet! You can find a pair of either of these styles at American Eagle, Charlotte Russe or New York and Company! 

I'm looking forward to trying the all white trend this summer! I think it looks really nice if you add a pop of color, whether it be in your jewelry, purse, shoes or a scarf! You can find white clothing at any store you shop at, but I've specifically seen this trend at American Eagle. They have an abundance of white dresses, shorts, crop tops and skirts, perfect for picking up a few summer staples! 

This pattern is no longer just for your picnic table. Altuzarra, Diane Von Furstenberg and Oscar De La Renta all had this classic pattern incorporated into their Spring/Summer 2015 ready to wear lines. This pattern is very versatile. You can wear it as a dress, skirt, shirt and accessories, basically however you prefer. To find some gingham clothing items go to JCPenney, Macy's or Forever 21!
