Fashion Friday: Summer Trends

It’s one thing to know what’s on trend during any given season, but knowing how to incorporate those trends into our existing wardrobe can at times feel a little challenging. As we go through this summer’s hottest trends, here are some tips on how you can easily style these bright and sometimes intimidating colors.  Knowing how to use these trends right will give you the confidence to guide your family and friends to smart fashion choices.

COLOR

Lets start with color! With all of the buzz about vibrant colors and bold prints being the “it” trend this summer, you may be asking yourself how you’re going to wear that bright coral handbag? When wearing a bold colored handbag, my opinion is you have two options: You can go neutral with your clothing by wearing shades of grey, white, khaki, black or any other neutral and then make your handbag the focus! Or if your want to go bolder with your color, your second option is color blocking, which is still a wildly popular trend this summer.  The best way to color-block is picking two or three colors that are opposite of each other on the color wheel and combining them. But make sure to keep it simple!

PRINTS

Prints are all the rage this season! With a bold print like the one found on our Jasmine and Jaz Shells you have more options than you think.  You can of course pair these Shells with any bright monochromatic color or with a mix of neutrals; you can even try your hand at pattern-mixing if you dare! A great tip to follow when mixing your patterns is to contrast the scale of the prints.  One pattern should be large, while the other should be small.

BLACK & WHITE

Black and white fashions defy time.  You can’t go wrong when choosing a black and white color scheme because it is contemporary and never fails to feel fresh. The classic black and white houndstooth is one of those timeless recognizable patterns worth repeating season after season. Mix black and white with bright vivid colors this summer to give you that stylish country club style.
