Every fall, people rush to the mall to pick out new fads and trends that have been building up all summer in order to rock them for the new school year. Whether it is thigh high socks, studs, dark purple lipstick or metallic nail polish, we absorb all of the new fashion advice out there just so that we can be stylish this season, and this summer isn’t any different.
What are the new things that are trending? Don’t worry, I’m here to help clear up some of the staple items for this season, starting off with everyone’s favorite fruit: pineapple.
Pineapples. Whether it's a print on a pant leg, a pineapple shaped pair of sunnies, or even a pineapple shaped handbag, there is no denying that pineapples are an up and coming trend this year. I myself am craving a pineapple one-piece swimsuit, but it looks like I’m going to have to keep searching for that delicious item. Shops like Tobi and Top Shop should be full of the prickly print, so keep your eyes peeled!
French bulldog. This is a creature as opposed to an actual item, but there is no
denying that this breed of dog is skyrocketing on the market, for celebs and
other stars in the public eye. Not that
anyone could blame them; they look like plump shorthaired
babies! Lady Gaga even refers to her little Bully as a bat pig because of her
large ears and lovable snorts, which are not unusual for the
breed!
Half up, half down topknot bun. If you have a Pinterest, I’m sure you’ve seen this all over people’s fashion boards. A messy bun perched atop one’s head, but still with hair flowing by
their shoulders. This is the
best development that could ever have taken place, especially for people like me with
unruly locks. Match this cute
and casual hairstyle with the next item on my list, and I’m sure you’ll get
good reviews.
Cute, rounded sunnies. Everyone loves
sunglasses -- at least, I think everyone loves sunglasses. This season, the
John Lennon is back in full force. Of course, his basic shape has been altered
somewhat. There has been the classic wayfarer frame with a metallic hint to it,
and the tortoiseshell look to compliment highlights. Either way you spin
it, cute circle sunnies are trending hard
this season, so whether you buy the expensive pair from somewhere online,
or a cheap pair from the rack at Urban, feel confident in your new round
lenses!
Birkenstocks. This is a day that I almost never saw coming. Despite my judgment, the
birks are in! These sandals have been around forever and were mostly known for
their comfort but, lately, people are rocking them left and right, and
they’re even on my must have list. Thus
far, my favorite is the Arizona cut, although Birkenstock has been producing
many other variations of their sandal that are totally worth checking out! As
for the price, scour Amazon and eBay before you blow $100, or check out the
American Eagle website for a chance to save your wallet from depletion.
There you have it, folks! The top five up and coming styles, this season, that will make many appearances on campuses far and wide, once school starts again. Get in there, quick, before prices start skyrocketing because fashion
isn’t half as fun when it eats through your paycheck!
