I have always been a lover of fashion. I love how you can express yourself in different ways using clothing. One day you can be natural and the next you can be dolled up, ready to go out. This spring and summer I have noticed a lot of trends. Here are my A to Z favorites.
A - ankle booties
Ankle booties are perfect for every season! In the spring and summer months I wear them with dresses and skirts to give off a boho vibe.
B - bomber jackets
Bomber jackets are also perfect season after season. They are especially perfect on cold summer nights. They give off a bad girl appearance and you get to stay warm! It's a win/win.
C - chokers
Chokers have been in style this summer and I really like this trend. They are easy to throw on and they dress up every outfit. My favorite chokers currently are western metal chokers.
The western style is a must this summer and into the fall. I am really loving double buckle belts with skinny jeans and ankle booties.
E - eyelash lace
I love lace, especially eyelash lace. It gives off a vintage vibe and it is perfect for any occasion. I wear eyelash lace with black accessories to make it more tough and grunge.
F - fringe
Fringe is a staple piece in anyone's closet. It never goes out of style. I am currently loving fringe cropped jeans. They give off a boho vibe with still being grunge and wearable.
G - gingham
Gingham is a print that is very versitile. You can make it preppy or you can make it grunge. What I love about this print is that you can style it however you want.
H - halter
The halter neckline is very flattering and perfect for spring and fall. Yes, strapless bras are a must with this neckline but it is worth it. I love halter bralettes, jumpsuits, tops, dresses, etc.
I - intimates
Intimates such as bralettes are perfect for lounging around in the summer months. I love how easy it is to throw on a bralette and a flowy tank and run out the door.
J - jean skirt
Jean skirts are making a comeback in a big way. They are a perfect way to dress up a casual fabric. Pair the skirt with a plaid shirt and booties for the perfect casual summer/fall look.
K - knee high boots
Over the knee boots are a perfect way to dress up any casual look. I love to pair knee high boots with dresses or skirts to give off a boho vibe. Or even pair them with jeans and a simple tee for a casual look.
L - lace-up
The lace-up trend is turning simple items of clothing into glam/grunge pieces. I love slipping on a lace-up tank or tee and pairing it with ripped jeans for a casual ensemble that looks like I tried harder than I did.
M - mesh activewear
Mesh activewear is the perfect way to dress up an extremely casual look. If used to work out, the mesh fabric is very breathable and is stylish. This look is perfect for lounging around as well.
N - nylon handbags
Nylon handbags like the Longchamp Le Pliage Tote are perfect for traveling and school. It's an easy bag to throw everything in that you need and run out the door.
O - off-the-shoulder
Off-the-shoulder is my favorite trend of 2016. It flatters every body type and it the perfect way to show skin without showing too much. You can dress it up and down.
P - platform shoes
Platform shoes are the perfect way to add height and still look casual. They give off a boho/grunge vibe and it is perfect for summer. I especially love platform sandals.
These sandals look perfect on every body type. They are casual and can tie in perfectly with a casual look or dressy look.
R - ruffles
Ruffles are a great trend from this spring/summer. They give off a girly vibe without having to try hard. They are perfect on skirts, dresses, off-the-shoulder tops, etc.
S - suede
Suede is a fabric that most people think is only for fall. But this spring/summer we have realized that suede is perfect all year round. It gives off a western/boho vibe that is perfect for the summer months.
T - tassels
From shirts to shoes, tassles are a must this summer season. They give off a effortless boho vibe that is perfect for vacation or the beach. The more colorful the better.
Graphic tees are perfect for going on during the summer months. Pair them with back ripped moto jeans, back ankle booties, and a dark lip color. They give off the perfect grunge look.
V - velcro shoes
Velcro shoes are indeed making a comeback. They are easy to use and the straps are very falttering on all bodies. Style them with denim shirts, pants, and skirts for a casual look.
W - white crop tops
White crop tops are the perfect way to show a little skin and be cool in the summer heat. You can pair them with practically anything. Pair them with jean shorts for a boho look or pair them with a flannel for a more grunge style.
X - WHAT STARTS WITH AN X?
(I'll do another C) - culottes
Culottes, or as we knew them as a kid gouchos. They are making a comback and its perfect timing. These pants are airy and bagging in all the right ways. They are perfect for the summer months. Pair them with a simple tank for casual summer look that beats the heat.
Y - yoga wear
Yoga wear has been in style for a year or so but i am still loving it. Yoga wear incorporates workout gear with colorful prints that are fashionable and okay to wear out in public. I love wearing my yoga gear to run errands or even go to class.
Z - (exposed) zippers
Finally, exposed zippers are a great way to dress up any simple skirt or dress. They give off a grunge look that is perfect for going out.
Some of these trends I rock on a daily basis but some are ones I haven't tried yet. Get out of your comfort zone and try some of these A to Z spring/summer fashion trends with me.
