Summer Trilogy : Fashion

If you’ve read my previous post, I’m doing a Summer Trilogy which will get you all ready and prepared to kick-off summer with a shine. (Get it, sun? Ha)

As temperatures go up, it’s much more comfortable to wear clothes that are loose and flowy, with more limbs revealed as no one wants to be a sweat ball in long sleeves.

TOPS : floral patterns and bright colors will kick back into place so here are a few suggestions.

FOR THE GIRLY GIRL,

Fringed Floral Tank.

Nollie Reversible Cross Back Top.

FOR THE “COOL” GIRL

Open-Knit Muscle Tee.

Diamond Faux Pocket Tank.

FOR THE LAZY ONES (me)

Keep Still Cropped T-Shirt.

Nadine Top.

Bottoms : It would be rather useful to wear something beach appropriate because you never know if someone would randomly call you out to the beach!

But it’ll still be formal enough for the mall and such.

Mid-Rise Tomgirl Denim Short.

Bruna Floral Shorts.

New Dawn Fades Shorts.

I wouldn’t go for skirts because I feel that skirts are more for Spring. Don’t forget your cute bikini bottoms too!

Basically for shorts, it’ll be nice to go for something that gives you a pop of color if your top is dull and vice versa. Don’t get shorts that are too thick as it’ll be warm and feel free to wear them short as summer is the time to bare!

SHOES : If you’re going to the beach, it’ll be an obvious choice to wear a pair of sandals or flip flops. Don’t go for the boring patterns though, summer is all cheerful so wear something that looks cute and fun!

Crisscross Thong Sandal.

Boho Babe Woven Sandals.

Eva Flamingo Sandals.

If you’re going to the mall and don’t want to look too casual with these sandals, plimsolls and slip-on sneakers would look cute.

Ranon Perforated Slip On Sneakers.

Printed Plimsoll Sneaker.

ACCESSORIES : Nothing too much or metallic as the saltwater may corrode it. As well as some of us who may get irritations from the accessories when we sweat. Keep it minimal, it would also minimize losses in the sea.

Retro D-Frame Sunglasses.

Never forget sunglasses as the sun can damage your precious eyes!

Layered Seed Bead Bracelet.

Fjallraven Kanken Backpack.

Striped Backpack.

For bags, choose one with either a waterproof material or canvas, this way it’ll make cleaning much easier if it’s wet. A small sling would be perfect for a day at the mall and a bag pack or a beach bag would be enough for the beach!

Coachella Inspired Everyday Outfits

So Coachella is over and I’m slightly late on the bandwagon, but fashion never dies so here are some Coachella inspired everyday outfits!

Quirky Clothing, very much loved by the goers there. Unique, boho and slightly odd is how I’d put it.

Here are some outfit choices that you can wear to the beach or for a cute and fun spring outfit!

MinkPink To The Maxi Dress

Talia Dress – Blush

This would look nice for the beach if paired with a rattan bag and cute sandals.

Roam If You Want To Dress

It’ll look pretty good for a day out with the girls or a casual date!

Ecote Meta Side-Tie Tiered Dress

Perfect with a cute bralet and some ankle boots!

MinkPink Folk Frenzy Romper

A thin brown belt and a pair of rhinestone sandals would do great!

Ecote Floral Crochet Bra Top

Reverse Pamela Cami

Renegade Cutoff Shorts

Double Dip Shorts

From all the pictures and examples shown, the whole theme is pretty obvious. For one-piece clothing, tie-dye, lace, sheer ones would look great with sandals and string bags. For tops, it would be bustiers and bralets, crochet and cropped. For bottoms, acid washed and distressed would be perfect.

Muscle tanks and bandeau along with shorts and cute shoes would seal the deal.

Accessories is the next big thing because it’s a prominent pattern as what you can see from Coachella celebrities and everyone else.

Lola Felt Floppy Hat

Geo Metal Goddess Chain Headwrap

UO Heartbreaker Sunglasses

Merry Go Round Sunglasses

Usually for sunglasses, Ray Ban’s are normally out of the question as it’s too “mainstream” the perfectly round ones or odd shaped ones are in favor.

Alexandria Necklace.

Metal Maven Ring Set.

Load up on the rings! Stack them up.

Layer Up Bracelet.

For jewelry, it’s good to stack them up to achieve the Coachella look. Color wise, it depends on the color of outfits and if it’s plain, add some color through the accessories, but if the outfit is very colorful already, keep it simple with silver jewelry.

As for flower crowns, they are a norm now so I’ve decided to leave it out because it’s everywhere!

Shoes, they can define how casual or formal your clothes are.

Jeffrey Campbell Watson Leather Buckle Boot.

Dolce Vita Faxon Thong Sandal

Depends on how you want your outfit to look, ankle boots and sandals will look amazing.

Barlow Fringe Bag.

Alright! That’s all for now and you can get the rough idea of how the clothes would work.

But if you’re uncomfortable playing around with a lot of colors, you can keep it casual and stay close to black.

Hope you’ve enjoyed this post and stay tuned for more!
