5 Trends to Try Before Summer Slips Away

Here are the summer trend pieces you didn’t know you needed.

I know I’m not the only one who can feel this season of heat slowly slipping away.  With only a few more months of summer left, I thought I would share with you my picks for stylish, heat-wave-worthy looks that just might even carry you into fall.

A white dress is simple, classic and always appropriate in the summer time.  Pair this timeless piece with summer sandals for an effortless look or opt for these edgy designer-inspired boots from Forever 21.

Cropped flares have been around for a while, but these summer washes and styles have been catching my eye recently.  The wide flares pair nicely with elevated block sandals or equally as chic with crisp white trainers.  For a transition piece, opt for denim crops which will look perfect with turtle necks and tight ankle boots in the colder months.

These slide-on wonders are the perfect pre-fall transition pieces.  Mules often have a little more coverage than your typical sandal, making them ideal as the temps drop in a month or so.  Also, if you are constantly suffering from heel blisters (me), these are such a welcomed breath of fresh air.

Make a statement.  This summer, we’ve seen bold statement tees take the fashion world by storm.  A favorite slogan tee among the blogger community has been the Christian Dior “We Should All Be Feminists” top.  For those of us who don’t have $710 dollars to drop, but still have something to say, there are plenty of more economical options.  I’ve listed a few with powerful messages or charitable backgrounds below.  Let’s change the world one t-shirt at a time, shall we?

 

We all know floral dresses are a summertime staple.  This season, pattern received a major upgrade, and I think we can expect this to carry into fall.  Try incorporating patterns into unassuming parts of your outfits.  Shoes, bags, neck ties, kimonos. . . the list goes on!
