As summer simmers to an end we see everyone going back to school, people returning from vacation, and for those of who were lucky enough to have the summer off, slowly dreading returning to work. It’s only right that we end this summer on the right note and recap on the hottest trends we’ve seen and worn this summer. However, with fall vastly approaching, we will touch base on some must have items for the upcoming season. We’ve seen it all this summer, bikinis, shorts, and crop tops… lets dig a little deeper on some of the trends that graced the bodies of Confident Dolls around the world.
The Kimono
It is no secret that the Kimono was one of the most coveted trends this summer. Floral print, chiffon, fringed, waist length, even ankle length! This fashion item added flair and style to every outfit. Whether you wore it with a pair of shorts, a skirt, or your favorite pair of distressed jeans, the Kimono tookfabulousity to a whole new level, and not to mention it was warm for those cool summer nights. Not to mention that this trend is integrating into the fall season as well.
The Crop Top
This summer we’ve seen crop tops worn in all the right ways. What was once a scary thought has now turned into a popular summer trend. No matter the shade, shape, or size, women all over have worn the crop top at least once this summer. Whether paired with a high wasted pant, short, or skirt the crop top continued to be a hit this summer.
Printed Shorts
While I love my minimalistic colors (white, black, grey) the printed short brought life to this summer and the woman who wore them brought even more life strutting the summer streets in their bold prints. While denim shorts will always be a classic, the printed short added oomph to outfits. Whether you were out running errands or having a night out on the town, printed shorts fit any and every occasion.
Protective Styles
Senegalese twist, Havana twist, locs, braids! Protective styles were hard to miss this summer! Women turned these hairstyles in to a fashionable trend that everyone wanted to try. Whether you wore it in bun, curls, half ponytail, or let them fall down your back, nothing screamed summer like a good protective style and a beat face!
If you know of any other summer trends or have a photo of you rocking a trend you loved this summer, comment and post a picture with the hashtagConfidenceIsYou. There are many more trends that weren’t mentioned and I’d love input from my Confident Dolls. Now lets talk about a few trends to look out for this fall.
Fall Parka
Perfect for those cool fall mornings and crisp fall evenings, the parka remains a hot trend for the cooler seasons. Whether you’re going for a casual look or a little more dressed up for a night the park is the go to item. Not to mention its super stylish coming in shades of blues, browns, greens, and blacks. The parka is as important as a trench coat this fall.
Heeled Bootie
While a flat bootie is practical, the heeled bootie is a must have this fall! Whether your dressing up or down, the versatility of this item is extremely beneficial and cute. You can pair them with a pencil skirt or even a pair of skinny jeans and a parka (like how I merged two trends, LOL)!
Faux Fur Accents
Whether its something as a faux fur collar on a jacket or a faux fur vest, faux fur accents add warmth to every look and not to mention they do not involve harming and killing innocent animals. You can look cute and save an animals life at the same time.
Wool Floppy Hat
While the floppy hat sat prettily on the heads of many confident women, the wool floppy hat is a game changer this upcoming season. This item adds flair and mystery to every look. Move aside cable-knit hats and hello GLAM!
While I am sad to say Farewell to summer, I am excited to try these knew fall trends, forget Cuffing Season, fall will be more like CONFIDENT Season because if women slayed this summer I know they will be bringing this fall! XOXO
