Are your summer fashion staples a terry cloth bathing suit cover up and a pair of Old Navy flip flops? Do you find yourself wearing old T-shirts from charity races and leadership conferences more often than actual shirts? Then it may just be time to amp up your summer look – fashion risks shouldn’t just be saved for campus, after all! Retire those ice cream-stained Soffe shorts and try a few of the summer’s most popular street styles instead:
1) Statement Stripes
Statement stripes brings some visual interest to an otherwise understated outfit.
While you can wear statement stripes for a chic, modest look…
…statement stripes can also be played up with jeans and a few funky accessories.
2) Fringe
And you thought fringe was just for cowboys.
Fringe can be worn everywhere, from your shorts to your shoes.
You can even use some fringe to make an outfit a little more modest – unless you don’t mind showing some skin. In that case, you’ll love the next look…
3) Crop Top
Why hide away those well-toned abs when you can show them off in a crop top?
By day pair your crop top with a high-waisted midi skirt…
…and by night play up your crop top with a fun mini – just as long as you keep that waistband high so you don’t show off too much skin!
4) Mix and Match
The matchy-matchy thing is so last summer… this summer is all about the mix and match.
You can mix and match anything – stripes, polka dots, floral, paisley, you name it!
Just make sure you mix and match within the same color palette to keep your look cohesive.
5) Pastel
You can never go wrong with a pretty pastel.
You can choose one pastel for a minimalist look…
…or mix it up with multiple pastels!
We dare you to try out all these looks, collegiettes. (Just as long as you don’t rock them all at once!)
