Tomboy Chic

Ripped, torn jeans are another denim trend that’s at the forefront of this summer’s fashion scene. Pairing a plain white t-shirt a pair of jeans is an easy look to pull together!

Knee High Socks

Socks in all textures and lengths are an essential fashion accessory this season. Knee high socks and above the knee socks are especially hip. These socks work great with shorts or skirts.

Pants

Hot pants, tap pants, and boy shorts will be everywhere this summer. Now may be the time to start a work-out to get those legs in shape. These short shorts bare a lot of skin. Bold patterns abound in all types of pants this season. Stripes, floral, and geometric shapes will be just a few of the options offered.

Warrior Trend

Daring fashionistas may want to experiment with this look that combines tribal and military trends. Elements include metal plating and leather. This is a fashion trend for the truly fearless.

Sporty

Clothing influenced by the sports world will be hugely popular this summer. Jersey fabrics and mesh, cut-off and cropped tee shirts, and shorts with cross-lacing similar to football and baseballs are examples of this trend. Shoulder pads from the 80’s are also making a comeback. Pleated tennis skirts and bold sports stripes are additional elements of the 2010 sporty look.

Barely There

Undergarments can be worn as outergarments this summer. Slips in silk can be worn as dresses while satin camisoles can be worn as cool summer tops. This ultra-feminine look should be worn in moderation. There’s a fine line sometimes between high fashion and trashy.

Sophisticated Slits

Fashionistas unwilling to sport a pair of hot pants may be more comfortable wearing a long skirt or dress with a high slit that more moderately exposes their legs. This is a great look for evening. Don’t forget the high heels and jewelry such as a stunning pair of white gold earrings.

Colors

Earth tones will be very popular this summer season. Another trend is to dress in all white. This is a great way to highlight a summer tan.

There are tons of photographs in high gloss fashion magazines and on the Internet that give the fashion conscious ideas about how to put together these popular looks. The trends for summer 2010 are so varied, there’s plenty of room for your own interpretation and creativity.
