Summer is upon us and everyone’s question is, what to wear? What to wear to my favorite BBQ, a day out with the girls, an evening out…. no worries dolls, I have all the answers and more of some of the most sexy and sassy fashion summer trends and how to wear!

Flatforms: This new shoe trend became popular on the streets and then made its way to the runway. You can see these fashionable shoes through the likes of DKNY and Maison Margiela. Not only are these shoes unique, but they’re comfortable and add just the right amount of height.

Sportswear: Another street style trend, it’s now cool to be sporty. Using cool fabrics like mesh in bomber jackets and vibrant color palettes, sportswear adds a whole new level of cool edge to your look.

Crop tops: Crop tops are the newest way to show a bit of skin without being too revealing. Pair a crop top with high-waisted shorts for a more casual look, or a pencil midi skirt to dress it up. These come in all different styles, from bustier tops to matching crop top and skirt sets, which are very feminine.

Gingham: This pattern has been seen all over the Spring Fashion week from Michael Kors to Altazurra. This is a classic chic pattern that can enhance any look, whether it is an elegant blouse or modern dress.

Khaki: A classic staple, khaki has come back for summer in full swing. Whether it’s in a modern military silhouette or safari style, khaki can be worn to give you a more modern take on a traditional style.

Jumpsuits: Whether you pair this with a blazer for a 70’s look a la Bianca Jagger or just wear a tribal print for a more summer-friendly casual look, this is bound to be a staple in your closet for the next 3 months.

Kimono: This piece has been a huge trend this past spring and is making its way into summer. This is a great staple to wear as a sweater for those nights that might be chilly. Kimono’s that have fringe on the bottom add a more bohemian vibe to your outfit as well. This is the perfect thrown on for many outfits!

Nautical: The cape-cod, nautical style is back in season for this summer. You can go full-on prep with chino shorts and loafers or just wear a navy blue blazer.

Metallic: Which do you prefer, silver or gold? Either way, metallics are back for the summer in a big way. A pretty metallic top or even shiny pants are a great way to dress up your look for a night out on the town. Mixing metals in jewelry is another fun trend following the metallic hype! Why wear one, when you can wear them all?

Long tutu skirts: It’s every little girls dream to be a ballerina right? Now you can with a little piece of that dream by wearing a tutu skirt with your favorite crop top. This skirt adds a feminine feel and girliness to your look, without being overbearing. Whether it’s a mini or midi-skirt, you’re sure to look super girly and chic!

Mix of patterns: What was often considered a no-no in the fashion world, is now the hottest trend. Mix polka dots with stripes for a high-fashion outfit that is sure to catch everybody’s attention. Mix it up!

Sheer black: Black was a major color on the spring runways and it’s back in full swing for summer. Sheer black adds sexiness and edge to any outfit.

Bold red: Red is definitely a strong color, and wearing it this summer is the perfect way to make a statement.
