Black and white clothes go with just about anything and they're hot this summer. Patterns in black and white is even better, monochrome checks have been seen all over the runways already.
Dresses are still big and will continue to be in style. Try an oriental style dress with Japanese silhouettes and oriental blossoms. Or go bold with graphic dresses and frilly styles are also a way to go. Pencil skirts are ladylike and sexy or try a subtly split front skirt to flash a little bit of leg without showing too much.
Sport some sports trends! Bomber jackets will be in as well as oversize white shirts. Or masculine meets feminine with white tuxedo jackets.
Stand out and be noticed with florescent fashion. Neon is is back, wear a sheer blouse for a delicate effect or glow with head to toe neon! Try iridescent fabrics. Another unique style is stripped skinny trousers, strong lines will be hot this spring and continue through summer.
Pair these trends with stylish accessories. Low heeled shoes will be in style- so give your feet a much needed break from high heels. Ladylike handbags add a feminine touch to any outfit.Hairstyles will be about simplicity, versatile styles- something wearable in ponytails and braids.
However, short cuts will be in as well. The bob style at neck height is a cute style. The fringe is in. Waves will be in, but mild style waves. Try unequal lengths for short, wavy hair. Or for longer hair, get baggy , loose waves and brush out for texture.
Try hair colors that are bright. Blondes can brighten up with lighter shades, brunettes can add almond and caramel tones, and redheads could dare to go scorched red!
For makeup, peach is in. It looks good on all hair colors and skin tones. Peachy shades of blush, eye shadow, and lip gloss are all in. Pastel tones are also a great look this summer.
