Dress for the Best

It's almost summer, which means new styles and fashions! What should you wear this summer? What kind of swim suit is the best for your body? What will be your new trend this summer?

Everyone is getting their "beach bod" ready for the summer. Whether you will be at the beach or at work, there is always something about summer that makes people want to switch up styles and move on. Put the boots away and bring out the tanning oil.

There are many new trends that are way different than those of the winter, as expected. By nature, summer tends to be lighter, brighter, and perhaps more natural. For example, in the winter makeup is all about the matte, pale look. But, summer is dewy and tan! The same things go along with clothes. Clothes are now starting to get lighter, brighter, and dare I say, more fun!

One major style for specifically this summer is the off the shoulder look. Tank tops are a bit boring now. It is very fashionable to wear a comfy shirt that has the shoulders cut out of it. This is an odd trend simply because if you saw this shirt randomly on a hanger, you probably would run far from it. But in reality, it is actually a really nice, different touch on a normal shirt. Plus, it is a nice way to switch up an everyday t-shirt or tank top with an edgy or girly twist.

Another important trend this summer is lace. Lace is everything. The most typical is a tank top with touches of lace throughout. The lace can either be white, or really any color, but typically white or tan. The most common are typically not all lace, otherwise that would be very open. Usually, there are shirts with simple touches of lace here or there. This gives a beachy, feminine touch to any style. It would look perfect with jeans and flip flops!

A great summer style is jeans with booties. Yes, the short boots we wore all winter haven't gone away! This seems odd, right? Sandals and flip flops should be taking their place, but they aren't! And it looks good! One super cute thing about this is that it balances the outfit. If someone is wearing jeans and booties, it gives more leeway for a lighter, even more revealing shirt, such as a tank or flowy top. Either way, they work for whatever reason!

So, we've covered shoes and clothing. But what about makeup? Even though it is summer, that doesn't mean that people stop wearing makeup! As mentioned earlier, it is pretty common that every summer, people go for tan, dewy skin. This is still in, it always is! But one thing that is slowly creeping through the cracks is colorful eyeliner. In the fall and winter, everything was kept pretty dark. Dark lip, dark brows, dark eyeliner. Now, things are changing! People have started wearing bright green, blues, and neon pink eyeliner. I'm not sure exactly how wearable this is, but hey, it's worth a shot. Especially to a fun get-together this summer.

Finally, bathing suits. No matter where you live, there is a good chance that at some point in the summer, you will visit a beach, lake, or pool and have a chance to show off your style in a cool new bathing suit. Last year, the Triangle Bathing Suits were everything. And yeah, they're still very popular. Almost more popular than the actual brand, the knock-offs from Forever 21. But, the new thing is fancy cut outs and designs. No more is it just two pieces of fabric, bland and shapeless. Now, there are so many different kinds of straps here and strings there. Honestly, the weird straps and sadistic looking designs aren't for me. But, find a cute one and it could work!

Overall, have fun this summer. Wear what makes you feel comfortable and know that is what matters! Try something new! Crazy eyeliner, stringy suits, whatever you want! Find out what works for you and try that. Start a new trend. In the words of Audrey Hepburn, "Happy girls are the prettiest." Do and wear what makes you happy and the rest will fall into place!
