Summer Clothing Trends

It's almost summer time and it's time to revamp the wardrobe. Not sure what to wear this season? Then let's talk about trends for summer.

This summer is all about looking fresh and flirty. From floral print dresses, to colorful gouches, to all white...the key is to coordinate your wardrobe with items that pop.

Here are some trendy must haves for this summer:

1. Slighty above the knee dresses, reveal a flirty knee, without giving too much away. It's summer time for crying out loud, show some leg. Pair a simple cotton floral print dress, with eye popping beads in an alternate color and throw on a pair of ballet flats, or a wedge wrap around heel and you are set for day wear, or evening wear. Above the knee dresses come in an array of materials this year. From cotton, to knits, and even silk, your options are limitless. You can totally change the look of the dress by adding an eye popping belt, or even a pair of knit leggins. The great thing about these above the knee dresses is that you can do so much with them and they virtually can be used to create multiple outfits-with the right accessories. Dresses are fun, flirty, fashionable and sure to turn heads anywhere you go.

2. Gouches are hot this year. The great thing about gouches is the fact that they have a wide leg at the bottom, which balances out a wider torso or shoulders. Gauchos can be worn to create a casual look, or you can vamp them up a bit to create a sexy evening look. Gauchos are very versatile and comfortable beyond belief. Pair them with colorful flip flops, ballet flats, or tiny heels if you want to vamp it up.

3. "Skinny" denim capris are back this summer in dark wash. The darker the better. Darker washed material brushed with a lighter color, creates an optical illusion, defining thighs and creating a slimmer look. Pair these up with a flirty tee- or feminine blouse, add some wedge sandals or ballet flats and you are set with a fresh, flirty look.

4. Skirts, skirts, skirts. Back to the showing leg thing, if you've got them, flaunt them. From denim to classic white and khaki, wear what is appropriate for your body type and age. You can find what's right for you and feel like a million bucks showing off those tanned legs. Always wear a higher heel with a skirt. The heel will give the legs a slimmer appearance by elongating the muscles in the leg and adding heighth always helps make you look slimmer.

5. Polka dots are back. I wouldn't say wear them from head to toe, but use them to accessorize. Wedge heel sandals with polka dots are super flirty, paired with denim, or a white skirt. Polka dots are showing up in every color. Green and red are the two hottest colors for these shoes. Black polka dots are still classic.

These are only five of the must haves for summer. Just remember that summer is all about good times, friends, family and relaxation. Your wardobe should express how you feel, whether it is flirty, fun, outgoing, casual, or relaxed.
