I’ve been pondering as to what my first blog post should be about because.. who doesn’t want to start with a bang? After doing a little research on Glamour Magazine and observing the fashion trends of this year, there were certain styles that stood out for me. Here are eight of my favourite trends of this summer.

Bright and Bold Stripes

Bright and bold is what I do best when coming to style. When this style is put together well, it can truly flatter anyone’s size. My suggestion for anyone who is petite of or curvy is to wear stripes that are vertical. For curvier sizes, these lines will flatter your figure by giving the illusion of being smaller. With petite sizes, vertical stripes will make you look taller without having to wearing heels.

Micro Pleats

This micro pleat style has a retro feel with a modern twist. It’s comfy, whimsical, and you can wear this at any event whether to work or out at night. This style is flattering for any woman’s shape. What a dream come true. My favourite combination with this micro pleated skirt would be to pear it with a white jeans top while adding some necklace that stands out on the outfit.

Sequins and Sparkle

This style defines glamour and glitz which is the main reason why it’s one of my favourite trends of this year. You can really have fun with this by mixing it up with jeans, converse shoes (for all my tomboys out there), or dress up at night and get lit… or shall I say have fun. Add some sparkle to your life this trend!

 

 

Romantic Ruffles

I am not ashamed that I am biased towards ruffles, I have posted two pictures of the style! This summer will be defined by this ultra feminine and effortlessly chic trend. From tops to the frills on the dresses, I will try to refrain from writing too much as to why you should be heading to a store that sells this. The ruffles make you feel all cozy without looking as though you need to take a nap. Let the ruffles begin!

 

Exposed Shoulders

Sexy without being too raunchy, funky without the tackiness… exposed shoulders are blowing up in 2016 with good reasoning. This is a great staple to have when you feel as though you have nothing to wear going out. For women who are self conscious about showing skin, this is a great way to show off your shoulders without really revealing too much.

 

Pajama Dressing

To be honest, the tops are not my thing, but I have seen a few people rock this and it really suits them. I am all about the pants and this is due to the lining. When it comes to pants, lining is a big thing for me, it can make or break my decision on buying pants, and ladies and gentlemen… it should be the same for you as well. These pajama pants are great for work as it creates a formal look without being too dressed up.

 

Sporty Mesh

The big reason as to why I love wearing a sporty mesh is because of the adaptability. Whether it’s going for a jog or a night out, you can look like million bucks without having to break the bank.

 

Paper Bag Waist

The paper bag waist is unique enough for all the hipsters and trendsetters to wear for the summer, and comfy for anyone. This easy-to-wear style is elegant making anyone look as though they just came out of a runway show. My favourite accessory to wear with this pants is a pointy flat shoe.
