The Top 10 Trends You Need To Know This Summer

1. Cold Shoulders

Whether it's off the shoulder or your shoulders are playing a little peek-a-boo game with your top, this summer is all about baring shoulders.

2. Lace up sandals

These will pair nicely with a dress, skirt, shorts, or boyfriend jeans.

3. Bomber Jacket

This trend doesn't look like it's going anywhere anytime soon and I'm perfectly fine with that! Since the summer months are hot try a lightweight or mesh bomber jacket.

4. Bandana

You can wear the bandana around your neck one of the two ways shown below or as a headband. Just have fun with it!

5. Ruffles

Ruffles add a very feminine and ladylike touch to any outfit.

6. Stripes

I know women are usually afraid of striped clothing; don't be! Try it on and see what works for you.

7. Sneakers

This is another one that's not going anywhere in the near future and I don't mind it either. You can keep it laid back and casual or dress it up with a dress or a blazer.

8. Slip Dress

You know how I just said you can dress up your sneakers with a dress? Sneakers pair nicely with the slip dress and a bomber jacket for a casual look or you can add heels for a sexier vibe.
