Nothing beats the summer, especially when it comes to fashion. Bathing suits, cover-ups, sandals, and sundresses should be constants in every wardrobe. Here are some of this summer’s hottest trends that every woman should have mixed in her closet before it’s too late .
    Wide-brim hats are a must.  Whether you’re lounging with a book on the beach or enjoying the sun over drinks with fr iends, a wide-brim hat can tie any look together while providing great coverage from the sun. 
    The “cold shoulder” look is another popular trend right now.  Off the shoulder tops are my favorite this season. These tops are fun, feminine, and lightweight, which is perfect for the lingering summer heat. Off the shoulder tops are flattering for all body types because they show off your collarbone and when paired with a statement necklace they really can wow. 
    Usually bikinis are the popular bathing suit choice, but this summer one-piece bathing suits are all the rage. One-piece bathing suits are making a comeback because of their flattering shape. I love the high leg cut of one-pieces because it is flattering for any body type and elongates your legs. 

    Swing dresses are another fashion staple this summer, they are flattering on everyone and cool on hot summer days. You can dress them up with wedges and jewelry or opt for a more casual look with sandals and sunglasses. 
    Bralettes have been on the rise the past year and now they’ve become a summer necessity. Bralettes are softer bras that are meant to be seen when paired with certain styles of tops and dresses. A bralette worn with a loose T-shirt and denim shorts is the perfect look for any summer event. Bralettes are available in many cuts and colors to create a variety of outfit choices.  
    White dresses never go out of style. White sundresses are one of the most versatile wardrobe pieces because they can be worn to summer events, like graduations, or used as a casual cover up over a bathing suit. White jeans are also a classic wardrobe staple, they come in various shapes, lengths and cuts.  They can be dressed up for a Saturday night party or a more casual look. You can never go wrong wearing white (plus it helps to show off that summer glow).
    This summer’s fashion trends feature some classic wardrobe pieces that can easily transition into fall. You can find all these looks at affordable stores so you don’t have to break the bank while keeping up with the latest trends.
