Fashion Trends: Summer 2012

Summer is quickly approaching. During these hot and sunny days, we welcome new trends and say "au revoir" to old ones. Shoe to Kill will help you to step up your wardrobe and move into the top looks for summer. So let's begin -

Tribal Print


These bold prints are a modern approach to South American, African, and Indonesian patterns. With their different patterns and bright colors, they are perfect for summertime fun. If you haven't attempted this bold style just yet and are looking for an inexpensive way to do so, you can find great tribal prints at shopping locations such as H&M and Forever 21. H&M Top - Crocheted Racerback $17.95

Color Blocking


Color Blocking is basically a combination of two or more solid blocks of color. This is a trend that has been going on for centuries, we just never realized it. Classic color blocking typically consists of black and white, but to make things a little more modern and fun, mixing bright colors is a great way to create a fabulous and playful look for summer.

Floral Jeans


These printed Floral Jeans are a great way to show off your feminine side. They exhibit a vintage and girly look. They're a fun, flirty way to add a little something cute and soft to your summertime outfits. Depending on whether you go for a daring or more subtle approach, these jeans can be paired with just about any solid neutrals or even a bright solid color. H&M - Floral Jeans $29.95

Colored Jeans



Colored Jeans are a fun way to jazz up a summer outfit. Typically we see people wearing regular denim jeans. If you're getting bored with your Levi's, switch it up and pick up a pair of bright colored jeans and pair it with a more subtle top or blouse. Whether you stick to your regular blues or follow the color trend, make sure you choose a cut and color that suit and accentuate your body type. Also a great way to color block!

Maxi Dresses


Maxi dresses have been a staple in summer wardrobe for the last few years. They're comfortable, stylish, and give you your own canvas to accessorize. They can be great glammed up for a night out or dressed down for an after the beach look. You can never go wrong with a maxi.

Neon


Since school is almost over, you can drop your highlighters and pick up your own fabulous neon pieces. They're bright, fun, colorful, and can add pizazz to any summertime look. Mix neons with neutrals or black for a perfect pairing. Charlotte Russe - Neon Denim Shorts $19.99

Bright Printed Dresses



Printed dresses that are bright and colorful can be a spectacular way to accentuate your skin tone, especially when you have that so desired sunkissed glow. The prints and colors vary giving you a way to stand out in your own unique way. Forever21 - Abstract Print Dress $22.80

Colored Blazer


Blazers are typically an essential piece in anyone's wardrobe that can be mixed and matched with anything. They're a great way to make any outfit look sharp yet casual. Instead of your standard black or pinstripe blazer, why not try a variety of colors to really make your outfit pop?

Sheer


When wearing sheer clothing, there's a fine line between looking sexy and looking trashy. If done correctly, sheer tops or dresses can be extremely beautiful and flawless looking. Personally, I think they should be worn with a cotton camisole or even a bra in some cases. They're comfortable, flowy, and give a soft, girly feel.

Statement Necklaces


Statement necklaces are a bold and fun way to accessorize. They truly make you stand out while they accent and give your outfit texture. H&M - Necklace $9.95
