Sweet, sweet summertime—the time where you can dress a little lighter, a bit braver, and where new trends come out to play. Each summer there are a few standout trends that make an appearance and seem to be worn by almost everyone just for those few hot, lazy months. Whether you're taking summer classes, working, or heading out on vacation, here are a few summer 2016 trends to try.
1. Chokers
Yes, the 90s are back and they've brought one of our favorite accessories with them and given us way more options. You no longer have to stick with old jelly chokers, but now have an array to choose from between a simple choker like this or a layered choker.
2. Off the Shoulder
Whether it's in dresses or tops, the off-the-shoulder look is everywhere. And what's not to like? It keeps you cool and looks flattering on anyone. It's perfect for a trip or a backyard BBQ when you've had a bit too much and a flowy top is necessary.
3. Neck Scarfs
A classic piece to change or dress up any outfit. You can buy a printed scarf or just use an old bandana and the result is the same: simple and a bit more sophisticated. You'll be ready for that European excursion in no time.
4. Bomber Jackets
For those cooler summer nights, throw on a bomber jacket over a crop top or plain t-shirt. It adds an edge to your outfit and can add a pop of color to an otherwise plain ensemble. You can try a floral print like this one or a more neutral simple jacket.
5. Espadrilles
Obviously trends come and go, but what we choose to wear is a part of what makes us unique and different from everyone else. So experiment with them, try something new, add something of your own--you just might end up loving it. Whether you're taking a day trip to the beach, concert hopping, or just going out to meet friends, these trends can come along with you and add an air of a carefree summer to your look. Make this summer your most stylish yet!
