Hey, Fashionistas/os! It’s been hot and humid here in Connecticut the past couple of weeks, but we’re not complaining! Hot weather just means opportunities for hot, yet fun and simple summer outfits. It’s finally time to show off that summer body you’ve been preparing for all winter. If it’s done right, you can easily show off your hot body and a little skin while still being tasteful and classic.
This Fashionista that I met at the mall perfectly exemplifies this. She highlights her small waist and her long legs by pairing a bright red graphic crop top with some classic ripped blue jeans and white tennis shoes. The rather tight red crop top is a great pop of color in her outfit and looks fabulous with her skin tone. The bold statement written on the shirt gives the outfit some spunk and personality, and it follows the recent trend of displaying blunt and forward statements via a T-shirt. The right amount of tightness accentuates her bust subtly, without being revealing, as well as accentuates her waist. This combination with the high-waisted blue jeans highlights her best features, especially the waist and her long legs.
She finishes the look with her pair of white tennis shoes, thick horned rim glasses and red lips. All of these accessories are right on trend: the white tennis shoes are classic and never go out of style paired with a T-shirt and jean combo. Thick-rimmed glasses are chic and bold enough to wear as an accessory, and they can be worn in place of heavy eye makeup, or any at all. To complete the look, she adds the red lip to correlate with the classic semi-urban ‘90s feel of the outfit, and to also correlate with the red top.
To make legs look longer and to accentuate your waist on a casual or comfortable day, throw on a pair of high-waisted skinny jeans with a top you feel comfortable in, whether it be a tasteful crop top like this Fashionista, or a tight or looser top tucked into the jeans.
What is your STYLE ADVICE OF THE WEEK? “In the summer, I like to wear crop tops because of the warm weather and to highlight my waist and stomach, since I like to work out a lot. I like to pair it with high-waisted jeans so I don’t show too much skin. It’s really whatever makes me feel confident, because that’s the most important thing. You should always wear what makes you feel confident and comfortable.”
