It may still be winter, but as I've already said fashion is always a season ahead. Here's a list of some of the trends I've been seeing for Spring and Summer this year that I am particularly fond of:
1. Bermuda shorts- I love them paired with a simple tee and cropped blazer topped off with a pair of Espadrilles.
2. Fluorescent colors- tangerine orange, turquoise, fuchsia, canary yellow to name a few.
3. Stripes, stripes, and more stripes. Vertical, horizontal or diagonal- they're all in style! Just remember, as with any busy print, stripes tend to compliment smaller frames better than larger ones. Women with larger frames should be cautious about wearing stripes because they can make you appear bigger than you actually are.
4. White- I love looks that are styled from head to toe in white and topped off with accents of color. For example, white pants with a white blouse or a white skirt with a white tank accented with a brightly colored scarf, pair of sandals, bag or jewelry.
5. Cropped blazers- both in solids and prints. I recommend pairing these with Bermuda shorts, summer dresses, skinny jeans, skirts and pants.
6. Pencil skirts- These are actually great any time of the year because they make for a demure and ladylike appearance, while accentuating a women's natural curves. This look is great for women with an hourglass shape.
7. Peplum anything- I love it all, especially peplum dresses, skirts, tops and jackets.
8. Geometric Prints- I particularly love geometric tops and wrap dresses from Banana Republic.
9. Fabrics with sheen- pair an iridescent or metallic skirt with a boldly colored top for night and more neutral hues for day.
10. Maxi dresses- these are always on trend and I love to pair them with espadrilles and gladiator sandals. Espadrilles are casual wedges that are normally flat, but sometimes high heeled shoes. They usually have canvas or cotton fabric on the top of the shoe and a flexible sole made of rope.
Check out these espadrilles from Michael Kors and gladiators sandals from Piperlime:
