Summer is right around the corner and sizzling styles are on deck at maurices! Classic summer outfits take their personality from your favorite beach destination – looking fun and flirty will be trouble free! Enjoy a light, carefree look with airy tops in bold colors such as a Paparazzi Pink, UV Oranges, and Sunset Gold. Prints will also play an important role – look for tie-dyed inspirations, as well as floral embroidery on lightweight tops. Add in a sassy short or a tiered skirt for a breezy summer look!
Lisa Rhodes, executive vice president and chief merchandising officer for maurices, states that this summer, animal-inspired prints and images are hot. “This trend will take on an exotic, safari feel thanks to the details in the wooden beading and metallic details, such as burnished coins and belts.”
Rhodes also states, “If you aren’t daring enough to wear an animal-print top – simply add an animal-print handbag or shoe to your ensemble to add in a splash of trend without being over-the-top.” Even the essential accessory, your sunglasses – have taken on the distinct animal and Bohemian styles. Protect your eyes without sacrificing your style.
Looking to be a bit more laid back with your wardrobe this summer? Look effortless with Bohemian-inspired pieces in saturated tones like chocolate and deep green. Paisley prints, textures, like lace trims, and multi-tones will add depth to your outfit. In keeping with the current trend, bare tops adorned with wooden beads and metallic details play an important part to the Bohemian style as well - your outfit will look worldly!
As always, be sure to layer on the accessories! This season, necklaces and bracelets have taken their cue from the Bohemian and animal-style trends as well. Wood, charms, leaves, and beads offer an eclectic feel, perfect for topping off any outfit.
