After doing some research on the top trends of spring 2016, I picked out the five trends that I love the most. It's finally starting to warm up for the summer, and I want to show the ways to take these spring trends into the summertime. Along with each of the trends are links to some of the pieces I personally love, but feel free to go on these sites and find the styles that work best for you.
Stripes
The always classic stripes are back in style. Stripes come horizontally, vertically, thick, thin and they come in all different styles of tops, pants, and even shoes! There are some version of stripes for every person, you just have to find the one's that fit you the best, and express your own personal style. For a chic summer look, try a striped crop top or a striped maxi or midi dress or a cute pair of striped wedges to go with a neutral outfit.
Suggestions of where to go for stripes:
Ribbed Stripe Crop Top
Contemporary Striped Linen-Blend Culottes
Stripe Midi Skirt
Nicole Miller Artelier Kenton Stripe Wedge Sandal
Bomber Jackets
Now that it is starting to warm up, bomber jackets may not be the best choice for a day look, but in the evenings when the cool summer air kicks in, throw on a cute bomber jacket. The cool thing about bomber jackets is that they aren't just plain, they also have floral, patchwork, and textured jackets.
Suggestions of where to get a cute bomber:

Co-ord
Co-Ords for the summer are perfect! They are simple, and your entire outfit is picked out already. You can choose from a matching skirt and shirt or a skirt and top. The awesome thing about co-ords is since they are two separate pieces, you can create other looks by mixing the top or bottom with other clothes you own!
Suggestions for co-ords:
ASOS Fringed Tassle Bandeau Beach Crop Top Co-ord
Lila Floral Bralet & Box Pleat Midi Co-ord Set
Waterfall Jacket Grey & Formal Crepe Joggers Grey
Off the Shoulder
The off the shoulder trend is great because it's showing a little skin, but not too much. Off the shoulder options include a tops and dresses. Grabbing a plain denim off the shoulder dress leaves a world of possibilities for accessorizing.

Metallics
Metallics can be taken from day to night. Whether you have a pair of metallic shoes, dress, top, skirt or clutch, the look is pretty interchangeable. Metallics are also a great way to add flare to a boring outfit. Metallics can also be daring depending on the design of the piece itself.
