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

 

An upcoming event that everyone can’t stop talking about….SUMMER! Summer is almost here, only a few weeks away and Her Campus is here to update you on the most popular summer fashion trends so as you strut out of MSU, you are rocking the most stylish choices and making a bold fashion statement.

 

High waisted shorts

o   High waisted clothing is very on trend right now and we will surely see that continue this summer. High waisted shorts go perfectly with crop tops and tanks. Tuck the tank into your shorts; add a simple necklace and some flats or sandals. Not only did your look only take minutes to put together, it can easily be dressed up or made more casual.

 

Peplum tanks

o   Peplum tanks are perfect for summer because you feel comfortable and not exposed while flattering the smallest part of your figure, your hips. Pair a tank like this with shorts or pastel capris.

 

Prints

o   Prints have been really common for a while now. Explore print shorts with a simple shirt or visa versa! Be careful about the accessories you chose with print, it could become over the top.

 

Rompers

o   Rompers have been pretty popular for the past few summers. Try experimenting with accessories, different types of shoes and mixing up where you wear them. Rompers can be perfect for a beach cover up to a lunch out with friends.

 

Statement necklaces

o   Statement necklaces add that pop of color or bit of excitement in a seemingly plain outfit, the perfect solution for a simple sundress!

 

Cut-out clothing

o   Most stores are really stocking up on cut-out dresses. These can be really cute with a pair of simple sandals or flats. It’s a small peek-a-boo section of skin, not enough to look too revealing and enough to spice up the outfit a bit!

 

Floral print

o   Floral is everywhere at the moment. Floral jackets, pants, tanks, shorts, skirts, the list is endless! Everyone has those days where they don’t like anything in their closet, this is a perfect day to just grab your favorite floral shirt, pair it with jean cutoffs and a cute pair of sunglasses. It’s a safe and easy way to look super cute!

 

Statement sunglasses

o   People have been playing around more and more with the idea of statement and unusually shaped sunglasses. Try on interesting frames, see what looks good for your face shape and pick out a fun pair of shades for the summer!

 

Maxi skirts/dresses

 

o   Ah, maxi dresses. These dresses and skirts are absolutely perfect for the days you want to look cute and comfortable. Long, cotton skirts feel so light and free in the summer and go perfectly with a little white tank. Pair them with some cool flat sandals or wedges and you’ll be unstoppable!
