Don’t let a little South Florida humidity compromise your sense of style. There are fashionable alternatives for showcasing your best summer self without breaking a sweat.
As we learned while attending the recent Miami Swim Week, boho inspired fringe, embellished floral pieces and bold color palettes interjected with warm earth tones are all in style. With that in mind, the LL Scene girls have compiled the following top five summer trends.
Garden Party Anyone?
It’s always summer in South Florida, so you’re able to get away with fun, flirty pastels all year round. This look can be showcased best through flowy dresses, ‘pom’ shorts, swimsuits and hair jewelry. This season’s color palettes are brought to life in soft hues that encompass a garden party tone. A versatile look can be dressed up and down with the right accessories.
Matchy-Matchy
Don’t be afraid of the pattern that may or may not resemble your grandmother’s old couch because it’s all about the matching two-piece sets this summer. Matching sets bring less stress to your dreaded getting ready process. The crop top concept can be a little intimidating for some, but don’t let it be. You can show as much or as little as you want. This look can flatter any body type if paired with a complimentary high-waisted bottom. If you’re feeling bold, bring out your own personal style by mixing and matching the separates with standout statement colors. Have fun with this summer trend.
Peace, Love & Boho
Let’s be honest. Trends come and go and then swoop back into existence time and time again. It’s not easy to find a trend that hasn’t already been popular, and I’m sure your elders love to remind you of that when you’re dressed to the nines in boho chic. There’s a reason why this movement keeps making an appearance in the fashion world, and it’s because of the effortless sense of style it brings to an everyday wardrobe.
Gladiator Glam
Sorry fellas, we know you’ve been waiting for this look to go out of style, but it’s just starting to make a comeback again. These strappy sandals bring a bold statement to any look you’re trying to achieve. But, make sure you don’t overdo it. If you’re daring enough to take the gladiator route, pair it with something simple like a breezy cotton dress or crocheted shorts that will perfectly complete this look for a nice Sunday brunch.
All White Everything
It’s safe to say there has been a graduation of sorts when it comes to the color white. You CAN wear white after Labor Day (especially in South Florida), and you CAN walk out of the house wearing white from head-to-toe, if assembled properly. Mix different shades and textures of white, and complete the look with light layers. It’s all about blending neutral colors together to add dimension.
