With summer finally beginning, all the hottest trends are on display and our cutest outfits no longer have to be hidden under heavy layers and umbrellas. One of my favorite trends popping up this summer are patterns, which are a timeless trend that work well in any season and with all styles. While patterns work year round, they’re especially perfect for the bright summer months, and add a fun pop to any outfit.
This Fashionista rocked a pretty patterned blouse over an all-black look. By keeping her base a neutral color with black jeans and a black tank top, this Fashionista kept the spotlight on her pattern. Her blouse gives an airy effect to an otherwise heavy look, and is perfect for the first month of summer when it’s not quite hot enough for a tank top. This Fashionista looks cool and casual in the summer sun with her accented black base of wide-rimmed glasses, a hat and canvas shoes.
Patterns are a fashion staple for any season and during this summer follow this Fashionista’s lead and rock your patterns to add interest to a plain outfit. Whether your pattern is the focus of your outfit or just an accent, you can’t go wrong with a flirty floral, a pretty paisley or a preppy plaid.
How To: Bold patterns are the perfect summer accessory, make them the focus by pairing it with a neutral base. Add a few simple accessories to enhance your look but keep your base neutral and your pattern will pop!
