Summer 2016 Fashion Trends List

1) White

The first style in this list of summer 2016 fashion trends is wearing the color white. When is white not trending?! You probably have this color in your closet already as it comes in every form imaginable.

Forever 21 contemporary strappy mini dress
Love Culture white ruched linen embroidered shorts

2) Eyelets

Second is clothing with eyelets. We typically see this design on dresses and shirts. Eyelets are always playful and feminine, so it is a wise investment to add a few pieces to your wardrobe.

3) Bold accessories

Third we have bold accessories! You may want to try some bright colors with your handbags, or throw on some large, statement jewelry. Spicing up your daily aesthetic is super trendy right now.

Love Culture mustard leatherette button snap crossbody
Love Culture fuchsia leatherette square box bag

4) Strappy sandals/gladiators

The fourth look from this list of summer 2016 fashion trends is gladiator, or strappy sandals. They look great with rompers, shorts, and skirts. I say the higher the straps go up your legs, the better!

Forever 21 suede fringe sandals

5) Boho prints

Fifth we have boho prints. It is hard to describe exactly what a boho print is, but it is not normally an animal print or dots. Below are some examples. We typically see these prints on skirts and shirts.

H&M open shoulder top
H&M open shoulder blouse

6) Black and white polka dots

Next are black and white dots! These are such a style classic for sure. I love dots because they can instantly make your look more feminine, business-like, or whatever you are trying to achieve. Sometimes a good dot pattern takes your look from ordinary to extraordinary.

Forever 21 dotted tie neck top
Forever 21 knotted polka dot romper

7) Bows

The final look from this list of summer 2016 fashion trends are bows! Put a bow on everything from handbags, shoes, shirts, and more. Adding in one simple bow can really make it look like you put extra effort into your style, and they can pair with almost anything.
