What to Wear Now Through Summer<\/h4>\n

Just as the buds blossom around us, trends are sprouting up before our eyes for the Spring and Summer 2016 fashion season. For women’s ready-to-wear, mixed prints, colors and textures, bohemian throwbacks, flared pants and of course, florals, are trending at our favorite department stores.<\/p>\n

The bohemian look is still in. When thinking about the setting for Boho-chic attire, the nouveau imagery that comes to mind involves a summer music festival. So it\u2019s no surprise that designers have interwoven the California music festival Coachella-esque elements into their spring and summer lines to coincide with our \u201cnew\u201d favorite warm weather event. Spring and summer perennials like bright colors and florals make appearances but mixed in fresh, new ways to deviate from the norm.<\/p>\n

Boho-Chic Accessories<\/h4>\n

If you\u2019re nervous about appearing too costume-y with the current Boho-chic trend, a good way to innocuously include a little festival wear into your wardrobe is to stick to accessories. Oftentimes, a floppy hat or statement jewelry is the key to a good Boho look, anyway. A stunning gold-plated cuff or a body chain, like these by Kendra Scott, can give you enough of a whimsical feel without sacrificing your classic style. You can go more minimalist by wearing a simple mother-of-pearl bar pendant necklace or opal accented ear jackets.<\/p>\n

The drop earrings by Kendra Scott are made with genuine-stones embedded in the base of the earrings. The design is elegant enough to wear to a fancy night event and trendy enough to compliment everyday looks. These drop earrings by WWAKE are more unconventional. The earring studs are each fitted with luminous, rose quartz and serenity blue moonstones. A diamond attached to a gold chain drops down from each earring.\n[awesome-gallery id=3962]

Dreamy Lace and Crochet Overlays<\/h4>\n

White is a staple for spring and summertime. This year, added texture like lace or crochet overlays are trending. This lacy scallop skirt by Talbots has the versatility to look dressy at a garden party and bohemian when paired with a statement jacket.\"talbots-white-dress-final\"

Orange-Pinks<\/h4>\n

Amongst whites, blacks and trending nudes, colors still reign supreme in the spring and summer months this year. Fruit-like orange-pinks have boldly popped up in standalone pieces like this sophisticated, coral jumpsuit from Talbots.<\/p>\n

Flared Pant<\/h4>\n

After nearly a decade of the straight-leg pant reigning supreme, designers have grown weary of the skinny jean. But it\u2019s not enough to just provide the wide-leg pant. Warm weather requires sporty and fun alternatives like this drawstring jumpsuit by Talbots. Masquerading as separates, this one-piece ensemble is effortlessly chic and casual enough to wear to an outdoor lunch with your girlfriends.<\/p>\n

Stripes Mixed With Florals<\/h4>\n

This look might be the most controversial trend on our list. To many, it might seem counterintuitive as you’ve avoided mixing prints your entire life. However, over the last couple of years, it has successfully circulated throughout designer collections, transcending the runway into everyday wear.<\/p>\n

PHOTOS: TALBOTS<\/a><\/p>\nThe key to mixing patterns when combining separates is to make sure an element in the two patterns match. In this case, you\u2019re looking to mix stripes and florals together. Therefore, the key feature you need to stick to is color. In this casual ensemble created by Talbots, they stuck to monochrome colors to successfully tie in the different patterns without overwhelming the outfit.<\/p>\n

PHOTOS: TALBOTS<\/a><\/p>\nMixing patterns doesn\u2019t mean you have to forgo color. As long as there are some overlapping colors between the two patterns, you\u2019re good to go. The mixed patterns don\u2019t have to be bold and immediately noticeable. This ensemble created by Talbots mixes a snorkel blue and soft yellow floral pant with a sheer, subtly striped sweater with the same yellow.<\/p>\n

Floral and striped patterns are being mixed on individual pieces too. In these cases, the matching element isn\u2019t a rule. This scuba skirt by Thalia Sodi mixes horizontal, monochrome stripes with a pink floral design. Overlaying color onto monochrome works to not overpower this eclectic look.<\/p>\n

So whether you\u2019re looking to integrate some trendy, Boho statement pieces or add more classics to your permanent, seasonal wardrobe, something from this year\u2019s diverse selection is sure to catch your eye.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
