Summer B has come into full swing and I’m going to share with you the biggest trends of this summer. This semester gives students the chance to take a breather from their hectic schedule and focus on having some fun. Here are the top 10 trends of this summer!

1. Two-Pieces

I’m not talking about the bikini, but the two-piece clothing! Girls have been rocking the two-piece this summer and the trend is effortless. With a whole outfit at your fingertips, you can easily be ready for happy hour. The two-piece saves time and money because you won't have to worry about purchasing a top and a bottom!

2. Tied tees

A tied tee can transform any outfit. Look in your closet and pick out a plain tee and knot it. It will be a whole new shirt. Free People has the perfect tops to tie up. The function of your T-shirt will quickly be renovated.

3. Sunglasses

Sunglasses will be essential when it’s sunny out. One of the most popular sunglasses lately have been the Dior “So Real” glasses. Although it would be nice to own a $600 pair of sunglasses, that’s not realistic for a college student. As an alternative, Forever 21 and Nordstrom have great dupes!

4. Choker Necklaces

These are seen almost everywhere. You can pair them with a graphic tee or dress. Chokers are available at nearly every boutique now and are affordable, too. Forever 21 is the perfect spot to get chokers because the prices cannot be beaten. And in the end, chokers won’t be in trend forever, so you don’t want to break the bank when purchasing them.

5. Liquid Lipsticks

Liquid lipsticks have taken over the beauty world. Practically every makeup brand has created their own liquid lipstick. They are great to wear out because they’re long lasting, while still being comfortable on the lips. NYX has great liquid lipsticks with a variety of shades. Also, if you want to treat yourself, Kat Von D is the brand to invest in!

6. Sun

Duh! One of the biggest trends in general for summer is getting out in the sun. Whether you are at Stadium Centre’s pool or hanging out at the Rez, this is the perfect time to relax in the sun. Don’t forget your sunscreen!

7. Time

Usually time is a foreign subject for college students during fall and spring semester. During summer B, time creeps back into our lives. With only taking one or two classes, students have the opportunity to explore new things. Try a new sport or volunteer. Use your time wisely though, because once fall starts, that time will be gone.

8. Madison Social Trivia

Who doesn’t love Madison Social? Every Wednesday starting at 6:30 p.m. you can play trivia. Categories consist of anything from TV shows to people. If you’re feeling bored on a Tuesday, try out some trivia!

9. Popsicles

This sounds odd when you read it, but popsicles are a huge trend this summer. Popsicle stores have been opening up everywhere. This is the perfect treat to indulge in while sitting in the sun. Check out DIVA POPS for your gourmet popsicles right here in Tallahassee.

10. Friends

No, not the show, but your actual friends. Summer B is the perfect time to catch up with them. If you’re at home, try to reconnect with those friends that attend different colleges. If you're enrolled in classes, hangout with those friends enrolled, as well. Whether it's a night out or night in watching a movie, you will always be guaranteed a good time with your friends.
