Spring/Summer Fashion Trends: The New Must Haves For the Season of Beauty

This article is written by a student writer from the Her Campus at JMU chapter.

In the past seasons we have seen trends such as shimmer and shine, pastels and floral patterns, maxi dresses and animal prints.  So what is on the style menu for spring/summer 2011?

Try tassels and fringe, sheer bliss, and lace all over.  Call back the 70’s because high-waist shorts and wide-leg pants with tapered sleeve tops are back in.  If you have an edgier side, the biker and punk rock fashion is in—including motorcycle jackets embellished with studs and reptile skin, skin tight biker pants with rips all over and safety pins.  As for the new color pallet: soft, faded, mineral colors, naturally bright pigments, nautical tones, and a significant amount of floral named shades.
 
Gear up ladies because as they say, what goes around comes around.  The trends of the past are the trends of today with a fantastic new twist.  For more information for the must haves visit Her Campus’: http://www.hercampus.com/style/hcs-5-trendiest-must-haves-spring

Campus Publicity Correspondent - My Campus JMU Rachel Petersen (JMU '11) is from a wonderful place called Virginia Beach. She has lived almost half of her life there and the other half in Germany due to being an Army brat. She's had the blessing of being able to travel to many different countries and experience tons of new things at a young age. Rachel loves to go to the beach, read tons of books (anything by Agatha Christie, Dan Brown, and Nicholas Sparks will do), sing, write, drink caramel chai lattes, eat her dad's spaghetti, play with Rico -- her 20 pound cat, and spend time with her fiancé , friends, and family. In addition to working as a student employee at the on campus mailroom and planning her July 2011 wedding, Rachel is in the process of obtaining a BA in Psychology with a minor in Criminal Justice and hopes to eventually become a psychologist in the legal system.
