ALL THE DETAILS: Summer Flare

June 22nd, 2016 at 2:10am

The weather here in Miami just keeps getting hotter and hotter (as per usual). Shorts, sundresses and bikinis are classified as “everyday attire” here. However, this does not stop the fashion-forward from going against the norm wearing whatever they wish to wear. While it may be ideal to wear a crop top with a pair of denim shorts to keep cool and still look trendy, sometimes you just have to take a leap with your style and hope its not too hot outside. Flared pants, also known as wide leg pants, are now featured in most stores and add an elegant look to the most casual outfit. As I was shopping the other day, I couldn’t help but noticed all the different wide legged pants on sale. I noticed vibrant colors, pleats and funky patterns.

Featured here is a close friend of mine, Jody, who made a bold move choosing to wear these yellow pants for a regular Monday stroll in the park. She paired it with an adorable white crop top with some lace detailing at the bottom. A simple choker wraps around her neck and silver bracelets dangle from her arm. The blue shades over her eyes add a nice pop of color to the overall look and she kept it subtle with a chic black handbag and brown sandals. In terms of beauty, she kept her hair wavy and make up natural.

This is an effortless trend that gives off the impression that you slaved over your outfit. By having one statement piece (the pants) you can achieve a very summer-forward, feminine look that will have everyone doing double takes while you walk by.

How To: Let your guard down and walk into the mall and search for your perfect pair of wide legged pants. Do not hold back and wear them during your next summer outing. Give it your own twist and pair it with any sort of blue accessory (perhaps a handbag or statement necklace) and your favorite white crop top!

    Greetings fellow fashion fanatics! My name is Kaitlyn Corp and I am currently a sophomore at Florida International University majoring in Marketing and International Business. From a young age, I always knew I would end up in fashion, but little did I know I’d pursue the business side of it. My style, in my own words, would be described as “very Miami with a touch of European flair. This perfectly white blouse adds an elegant look to the outfit, while the shorts give it a casual look. Both of these pieces are from Zara. My red statement mini bag from Rebecca Minkoff has been my go to purse for the past few years. It is a bold accessory to even the most boring outfit. Espadrilles and sandals are the perfect summer shoes (aka the only season in Miami) so, when I saw these Soludos, I just had to pick them up. They are the perfect shoe to throw on with jean shorts and a white v neck or can be a subtle touch to the daintiest sun dress. All of my jewelry is from Alex and Ani. These were all gifts to me, so they bring back great memories while trying the whole outfit together. Style is what you make out of it. It does not matter what you wear, as long as you own it and feel confident. Let your creativity show through these beautiful garments. Follow me through this trendy summer and let’s make it the RADDEST one yet!
