You'll see off-the-shoulder tops all over this upcoming summer in various styles. Whether you go with an all-shoulderless, blousy, bohemian-inspired top, or a chic fitted bodysuit with shoulder peek-a-boos, you'll stay on top of the trend with a shoulder-baring silhouette.
This summer, we'll be lacing up our sandals and our tops. Retailers are stocking varieties of the shoelace-inspired design from long sleeves to tanks. Pick your favorite style, and rock it all summer long to stay on-trend. If 'shoelace chic' shirts are not your thing, go for lace-up sandals this summer. From flats, to gladiator-style knee-highs, lace-up sandals are popping up everywhere. It's a comfortable, laid-back style with a touch of flair.
Trade in your shorts and capris this summer for a pair of culottes. Denim culottes are coming back, and the wide-leg shape is forgiving to a lot of body types. Plus, they are comfortable and versatile. Start with denim to see if the look suits you with some heels or mule slides, and then consider a more tailored pair for the office.

You can get your Adidas shell-toes out of the closet and clean them up for the summer because the white sneaker is back, but it's got some new friends. Pair your sneakers with a short floral dress, or a long maxi dress for an unexpected trendy look.
Babydoll dresses, chokers, spaghetti-strapped cropped tanks, slipdresses, and plum-hued lipstick, they've all returned for 2016. Taylor Swift called chokers "the new flower crown" at Cochella. Even Courtney Love collaborated with NastyGal (www.nastygal.com) on an exclusive collection of clothes inspired by her 90's grungy styles. There's no denying that 90's fashion has been revived.
Athletic + leisure wear = Athleisure. Trending in a big way is Athleisure-style silhouettes. Think track pants, your white chunky Adidas's (from #4), and a cropped tank top, and you're on the Athleisure trend. Celebrities including Beyonce, Rihanna, and Kylie Jenner have all designed and worn, Athleisure collections this spring. Retailers have stocked up on the chic streetwear look and have plenty to offer locally. Grab a pair of chic fitted joggers, and you'll be comfy and trendy.
