What are the best spring and summer fashion trends for 2016? Keep reading to learn more.
The Slip Dress
The slip dress is one fashion trend that definitely made headlines this year, as it’s back and it’s looking sexier than ever. Look for these dresses in chiffon, satin, layered with knits, and more. Basically, you can consider this underwear that works as outerwear, so it is a way to be sexy and edgy all at the same time.
Plenty of Bright, Bold Colors
Look for clothes this spring and summer in colors that you may never have encountered before, and don’t worry if the colors clash or if they go together. This year, it is all about getting as many colors as possible onto one outfit, so there is no need to stick with a monochrome outfit if you don’t want to. In fact, even sparkly colors are in fashion for the upcoming warmer seasons of the year, so go ahead and be adventurous while shining like the sun.
Stripes Galore
A lot of the incredibly talented designers who showcased their designs on the spring and summer runways this year were proud to show off their many pieces that featured bold stripes. Whether thin or thick, colorful or black and white, stripes are definitely a trend that you can embrace this year as well. And if you are petite, vertical lines will even help to make you appear taller, so definitely consider adding this trend to your closet.
Ruffles, and Lots of Them
Ruffles are also a big trend this year, with gorgeous dresses having ruffles as their key detail. When shopping for these types of dresses, though, look for quality, not just the price of the outfit. This trend is all about structured tiers set in design that is minimal, as well as ruffles that take over an entire outfit, so you can go for a little or a lot.
Snag Great Styles Online
If you are unable to find these great styles in stores, or if you have difficulty shopping at local retailers because they don’t carry the clothing and accessories that you like or that fit your body perfectly, you can always shop online. There are plenty of reputable online shops to choose from, so go ahead and find your favorite online dress boutique and shop for your favorite new fashion trends from the comfort of your home.
As you can see, there are plenty of great new spring and summer fashion trends to look forward to this year. No matter what your sense of style is, you should certainly try incorporating one or more of these great ideas into your wardrobe to liven things up a bit and try something new.
Men’s Essential Footwear for Spring
For menswear.
Now that Spring is upon us, it is time to take a look in your closet and refresh your footwear for the coming seasons. If your Nike trainers are worn through the sole or now rock ventilation holes that didn’t actually come with the original design (whoops!). Then it is time to toss them and go shopping for a few new pairs that will be work horses in your wardrobe.
One footwear selection that you will need for the spring season is a casual, athletic style shoe. These new arrival sneaker-type shoes for 2016 have a little bit of a retro feel with combination of blue and tan tones, accented by white triple stripe of leather on the sides of the shoes. This type of shoe gives you the casual comfort of an athletic shoe, but it doesn’t make you look like you are headed to or coming from the gym. Also, the combination of leather, suede, and mesh will add some fashion to a favorite footwear style.
The next shoe that you want to have in your closet for spring and summer is a great driving moccasin. It is a slip-on shoe that has a sleek upper and a knobby rubber sole that extends from the tips of the toes all the way up the back of the heel, which is how it got its name because the heel of shoes used to get worn out more quickly when rubbing against the car floor when driving, but the extension of the rubber sole up the back of the heel protects the leather and gives you more traction. Since denim is hotter than ever in accessories, Louis Vuitton has taken that trend and translated it into these medium wash and indigo denim driving mocs and in true designer style, has accented these fabulous shoes with British tan leather trim around the base of the shoe and also in the Louis Vuitton logo hardware.
Our last essential footwear selection for men spring is a boot. With spring, comes unpredictable weather and you will need something like Clarks boots which will protect your feet on those cool, rainy days and look better than a pair of galoshes. For example, these short men’s lace-ups that are done in a burnished brown leather are versatile enough to be worn with a dressier pair of trousers or with your favorite casual jeans, but will still give you the protection that you need in wet weather. Just don’t forget to treat your leather and suede to keep your boots looking good.
