If your wardrobe needs a little pick-me-up, these tips on how to style the latest fashion trends will inspire you to go on a shopping spree. From the hottest fashion runways to current street styles, these trendy outfits will add an updated twist to your wardrobe and help you show off a fashion-forward look. Stick with the classics and staples as the foundation of your wardrobe, then add in these hot summer trends for a personal style worthy of fashion week.
Androgynous Suits
A fashion trend since the 30s, this aesthetic is returning with oversized blazers and suits. This style may require you to step outside your comfort zone, but when it comes to fashion, experimenting is key. For a casual weekend look, try a powder blue boyfriend blazer with oversized shoulder pads paired with a unisex tee and jeans, or leather shorts for an ultramodern look. For a work-appropriate look, try a neutral-colored matching suit set with an oversized jacket and straight-leg trousers, accessorized with heels and a bucket-style bag. Give bomber jackets and turtlenecks a chance, too.
Wide leg pants
Inspired by the 80s, wide leg pants are trending at every occasion, from casual jeans, to work trousers, to glam formal wear. Wide leg pants offer a silhouette that looks great on everyone since they lengthen legs, hide the belly, cinch the waist, and create shape. Above all, they are super comfortable. Try pairing wide leg jeans with your favorite graphic tee for a casual but fashion-forward look. At work, try a monochrome look with black wide leg trousers, a black blouse, and bright colorful accessories. When attending a wedding, try silk wide leg pants with a lace top.
Victorian Sleeves
Another 80s inspiration, oversized puffy Victorian sleeves are gaining popularity this summer. Showing up on both blouses and dresses, the oversized sleeves add femininity to your ensemble and create the illusion of a smaller waist. For a casual spring or summer look, try soft pastel colors or a floral pattern, which are this year’s hottest colors. Pair a maxi dress with puffy Victorian sleeve and strappy sandals or your favorite wide leg jeans with a poplin top that have oversized Victorian sleeves. For a look that’s a little more formal, try a black jumpsuit with Victorian sleeve and heels.
Boots and Dresses
An authentic 90’s style, grunge is back with feminine dresses and chunky boots, or chunky tennis shoes for look that’s a little more cottagecore than grunge. First, choose a feminine dress which is its own popular trend this spring and summer. You can go with bright colors and bold patterns, pastel colors and floral patterns, or monochrome black for grunge meets goth. Pick a maxi dress with a cinched waist, a midi dress with ruffles, or any flowing and feminine style you like. Then, pull on the combat boots or chunky tennis shoes and you’re ready to go.
Celebrate the latest trends by taking inspiration from past decades. No matter your personal style and comfort zone, there’s a way to incorporate the bold and stylish designs into your wardrobe in a way that’s right for you. Start with integrating one new item and grow from there.
