My Top 5 Summer Trends

Each season there’s always that new colour, cut or style that we just won’t be able to get enough of! Summer for me equals lightweight materials and minimal coverage. I love shorts, tanks, and sandals and cannot wait until the first few solid days of warm sunshine to debut my summer wardrobe.

Here are a few trending styles that I can’t wait to try out this summer!

Sock Bun Style

My friend showed me this more than a year ago before it was a huge trend. I was shocked at how perfect it turned out and looked and how simple it was to create! With one long sock, two hair elastics, and less than five minutes you can have a classy and flawless bun that looks great with every outfit. When it is hot and humid out this will be a perfect look for the beach, club or street.

Studded Everything

I was a little weary about the metal studs that were slowly creeping onto women’s clothing, bags and shoes but it has grown on me. At first I thought the metal contrasted too harshly with a soft silk or chiffon but now I think it gives the perfect accent to any outfit. I have already bought some t-shirts and shorts with studded accents and I can hardly keep them in my drawer! Paired with a loose tank or bandeau top? I am excited just thinking about it! 

High Waisted Shorts

I come from a generation of low, low, looowww rise jeans so anything sitting on or above my belly button is going to take some getting used too! Trying not to have flashbacks of Tiffani Amber Thiessen from “Saved by the Bell” I bought a pair and truth be told they are not too bad. I think they are a delicate buy and you have to find a rise that looks good on you but when you find them you will know!

Cropped Tanks

High-waisted shorts and even higher cut tanks are SUCH a cute look and I have been counting down the years when this look would debut again! I love the loose tank or tight scoop neck t-shirt as long as it is bearing some belly. For all my ladies out there with your navel piercings this is the time to show them off! Just a friendly suggestion if you are doing navel jewelry I would pair the crop tank with a more subtle piece of belly jewelry.

Pastel Perfect Hues

I have been in love with pastels since I was young. They made a short appearance when I was in grade nine (I got a few pieces!) but then they disappeared once more. I love the Easter look of the baby pinks, yellows, blues and purples and I was pleasantly surprised when I saw them making a comeback last year! My closet is already full of the colourful pieces but I love the pastel denim jeans and shorts that are sneaking into stores.

There you ladies have it! My top five summer trends I am dying to try. I hope you like them! Let me know what trends you are looking forward to trying!
