Summer 2016 is filled with trends
from the past that I have found very fashionable! It's a blend of popular items
throughout many decades starting at the hippie phase all the way to the 1990s.
They can be found easily at low prices and in many stores! These basic items
are easy to dress up or dress down and, may I add, very comfortable. This
summer’s trends are super fun because you can even search through your mom’s
closet for some of them or find a steal at the thrift store! I am pumped that
these styles are back, and I hope that you feel the need to have them in your
closet as well!
1. Blue Jean Skirt
You know, the one you wore on your first day of second grade? Yeah, that one. It's time to raid your mom's closet to see if she has any she wore in the '90s. Jean skirts are so awesome because they are like your blue jeans in the way that you can wear practically anything with them, but they can also be cooler on a summer day and seem more dressy. I found this one at Plato's Closet for cheap and I also found a few in different styles at Target.
2. Classic Converse
You can never, ever go wrong with a pair of converse, no matter the generation. This is exactly what makes Converse so great. You can literally wear them with anything; dresses, skirts, jeans and shorts. They come in practically every color which makes them also perfect for summer. Next on my list is light pink and lavender. Plato's closet even has a selection.
3. Stripes
Stripes are my favorite! They make any basic top look fashionable. Although stripes have never "gone out of style", they certainly are easy to find. My stripe must-haves are mini-dresses, comfortable tops and swim suits. They can even make you appear a smaller size if it has vertical stripes.
4. Tie-Dye
Hello 1960s! Hippies brought the popularity of tie-dyeing among their generation, and it has come back! Tie-dye can be fun, not only because you can make the design yourself, but that it has bright colors with a fun design.
5. Round Sunnies
I have seen this trend begin to emerge this summer and it's so retro! I especially like the colored frames with big round lens that make me feel like I am living in the '80s. It is just fun to have a bunch of cool and unique sunglasses during the summer. Charlotte Ruse usually has them for $5, so you should go check them out!
These basics are sure to make your summer wardrobe more fun and unique! The best thing about these trendy styles is that you can wear them in your own way without dressing like every one else. It'll also be awesome when someone a little older than you sees a trend come back around that they used to really like. These comebacks are sure to make summer 2016's style one of the best!
