Finally, the weather’s changing and with it come new styles and trends. Last year’s summer fashions were a classic return to some more minimal and high-class looks, and this year promises to be an exciting miss of poise and grace as well as yet another 80s revival, only this time, with denim. How not to get lost in the shifting tides of style? We’ll, we’ve got the inside scoop on all of the season’s best fashion. Don’t forget to pay attention, or else it could be a cruel, cruel summer when you’re noticeably a season behind.
Last year, it was all about the gold, the greens, and the 1980s. Yes, there was a retreat to a more minimal look and less patterns, and apparently that classic 1950s Coco Chanel influence is going to continue on this season, at the same time that younger designers insist on bringing back denim. And this isn’t any run-of-the-mill denim resurrection, this is serious hair-metal, ripped-jeans-to-go-with-schrunchies denim. With even the young hipsters suffering from a bit of ’80s fatigue, it might be best to explore other routes of the season’s hottest trends.
If there’s one thing worth getting this summer, it’s a single-shoulder dress. They’re skyrocketing in popularity, and they’re actually cute, too. If you really want to do it right and have the budget, get one daytime single-shouldered dress that’s in a lighter material and perfect for breezy days at the beach or in the park, and then get a more formal evening option that can carry over into the first hint of fall.
One thing that you don’t have to wear and that will hopefully have died out this year are the baggy diaper pants that seemed to take everywhere by storm last season. This year, it seems that most women have realized that this style didn’t look remotely good on MC Hammer, and isn’t going to flatter a woman’s body anytime soon, either.
But I’ll tell you what will be a serious hit all season–gold and silver. Not as jewelry, but as colors in your wardrobe, especially in exciting belts. Yes, belts will be the accessory of choice this summer, whether thrown onto a high-waisted dress or used to tie a smart pants suit together are an exciting new way to mix up an outfit.
Traditional accessories that were a huge hit on the runway this season were a more tolerable version of 1980s inspiration. Upscale bangles are a huge hit, and make a great accessory when it comes to wearing a more plain outfit. They’re bold, they’re made out of all possible materials to match your fabric, and they won’t break the bank but they’ll leave their mark.
One trend we’re all hoping and praying catches on this summer is a lack of fake baking. Yes, far too many celebrities have shown up to premiers looking like Oompa Loompas, and it’s time for the general public to heed the warning of the season–if you can’t make it happen lounging on a chair outside for a couple of hours, it doesn’t mean you need to lather yourself in nasty skin-dying oils or have a go at a tanning bed. Looking like a rotisserie chicken is one definite fashion don’t for this summer, as it will totally ruin your other fashion forward moves!
No matter if you’re planning on stocking up on all of the hottest items of this season or only have a little bit to spend to make your wardrobe just slightly more fabulous, it’s going to be easy to look hot and feel hot this summer. Get a few new things in your closet and you’re certain to feel like a million bucks the minute you have your first summer weekend. Here’s to hoping all of your summer fashion dreams come true.
