Floral Dresses
Once again, floral dresses are all the rage this summer. The new floral is light and airy with open details and transparent fabrics paired with bright lime green and juicy melon hues. Dresses made of breathable and lightweight fabrics printed with luscious floral patterns lend a decidedly feminine element to any lady’s closet.
Accessorize these dresses with matching gemstones, silver drop earrings and cuff bracelets. Make it a statement by adding wide floppy hats that protect a gal’s head under harsh daytime sun. Also consider adding a belt and wear footwear like sandals, flip-flops, white sneakers or cut out boots.
Crisp White Button-Down Shirt
White is always a summer trend and this year every woman needs the new button down. A crisp white button-down shirt should be a staple in your closet and this year has ushered in some modern style details for this classic top. Moderate shoulder pads, a bit of stretch and long pleats down the arm transform a simple shirt into fashion royalty. This shirt is easy to accessorize, and ladies who love jewelry will find this shirt ideal to showcase a waterfall of layered gold chains or a single bold pendant.
Silver jewelry is popular with more women this year, and dangle earrings made of braided threads or accented with beads are an excellent selection for summertime wear. Ladies of all ages love gemstone jewelry for rings, bracelets, necklaces and earrings. Some fun summer footwear adds a touch of sass and a flirtatious vibe with over the top accents like wild colors, animal print and sparkly rhinestones or other gems.
For an effortlessly pulled-together look pair with jeans, dressy pants or shorts. The white shirt is so versatile you can also wear it unbuttoned over embellished halters, tank dresses and leg-lengthening minis.
Off the Shoulder
Feminine tops have made a huge comeback this season. Many fashion designers have added sexy and versatile off the shoulder tops and dresses to their summer collections. This style is versatile and can go from daytime casual to nighttime dates out on the town.
Opening up the neck, decollette and shoulders creates an empty canvas to show off this season’s most sought after fashion jewelry trends. Perfect for the layered gold chains and cute iconic pendants gracing the GenZ necklines as well as the bold silver statement pieces and organic shapes preferred by GenX. Bearing both shoulders or just one, these tops are ideal for showcasing the latest beautiful 2021 jewelry trends for women across generations.
Many off the shoulder styles can take a woman from the workplace to lunch and to the beach simply by changing how the elasticized shoulder detail is worn, on top of the shoulder creates a sweet puff sleeve, pull to one side to show a single shoulder or cinch down for double bare shoulders.
Tiered Dresses
Tiered dresses are also a popular choice for warm weather attire. Crinkle dresses and skirts made from lightweight and cool gauze, chiffon and other materials make getting dressed super simple and have a sidi and mini sundresses. With a cool take on a prairie aesthetic tiers can be dressed up for summer weddings or down for a casual weekend at the beach. These dresses can be spaghetti strap or boast a more traditional square neckline. The simple profile makes tiered dresses the perfect backdrop for bold jewelry like colorful, throw-back enamel designs and trendy oversized chains.
Wear these dresses with sandals, flip flops or class it up with strappy heels or a trendy twist on the canvas espadrille that boasts a flirty ankle tie for a more all-day comfortable footwear choice.
