2. Low Rise
The low rise trend is not letting up and will remain in style for the summer season. Now, this style may not be for everyone as some of you may forever be fans of the high rise bottoms, if you’re looking to be a little adventurous and step outside your comfort zone, the low rise bottoms is where it’s at. Trust me girl, I been there, I used to find myself loving the high waisted bottoms and never thought I’d turn back to the pants that fit underneath the belly.
However, now that is all I end up buying when it comes to bottoms, especially low rise cargo pants (my fave)! I am now in love with this look especially when it’s paired with a longer crop top, adorable!
If there is one trend that you would be willing to give a trial, opt for the low rise bottoms, you might surprise yourself.

3. Oversized Blazers
When it comes to blazers the bigger is definitely better. Oversized blazers have been the go-to outerwear trend and rightly so, they make for the ultimate statement coat. They can be paired perfectly with almost anything whether it be a tailored co-ord, skirts, shorts, or even a basic pair of jeans.
Style them up or dress them down, they are comfortable without the minimization of fashion. A personal favorite way to wear this trend is either with a bodycon mini dress or a sporty short set.

4. Bralettes
For the fashion enthusiasts willing to take more risks, this trend is for you. Ditch the boring tops and take your usual crop tops to a whole other level by wearing bralettes as tops. Just when you think things couldn’t get any hotter bralettes are your new go-to tops for the summer season. Opt for different designs and colorways to be styled in various ways so you can pair this sweet trend with numerous outfits.
If you are already a fan of the bikini and skirt trend this one should be of no newness to you as it has it’s similarities. For example, like the bikini a bralette would make the the perfect staple top for a tropical or beach vacation. This is when you can choose patterned fabrics of floral or leafy designs to pair well with the occasion.
Furthermore, ensure to keep this ‘IT’ item up your sleeve for casual outfitting by wearing it in neutral shades of hues with baggy cargo pants, mini pleated skirts, parachute pants, or even underneath an oversized blazer.

5. Sheer
Transparent clothing continues to have its moment as it has consistently been shown down the recent runways. This is a bold and sexy trend that we have been seeing everywhere whether its been in fashion magazines, our Pinterest feeds, and high street stores. Due to the evident signs, I think it’s safe to say the sheer style will remain trending throughout the summer.
If you are daring enough to try this trend, do it! However, if you are more timid about it you can alternate the full on sheer fabrics with more mesh panels to lean your way into trying this trend. Another alternative option would be mixing two trends and wearing a bralette underneath translucent clothing. This is another eye-catching look that we have been seeing all over the streets of fashion.
Wanting to maximize this trend to it’s fullest potential? Try it out with a co-ord set or simplify it with a sheer midi dress.
