This is the season to stand out and shine. Whether it\u2019s with a hot pink blazer or a neon yellow sundress, the brighter the colors, the better you\u2019ll look.<\/p>\n<p>Bright is in for 2018, so take advantage of the trend. These hot colors can be incorporated with a bright pair of shorts or an accent piece.

Photo: Talbots<\/p><\/div>\n<h3>Shorts Are Back, and They\u2019re High-Waisted<\/h3>\n<p>This \u201990s trend has been making a comeback over the years. And this summer, it\u2019s finally in full swing! Various designers, like Saint Laurent and Christian Dior, incorporated the trend in their shows throughout Paris Fashion Week.<\/p>\n<p>No matter the material or the length, high-waisted shorts accentuate the waist and add a sense of flare to any outfit. They can be worn formally or casually. And they come in a variety of styles, belted or not. The possibilities are endless, and the style is timeless.<\/p>\n<h3>Get Edgy With Small \u201990s Retro Sunglasses<\/h3>\n<p>It seems like only a few years ago, when it came to sunglasses, the bigger the better. Move over, Audrey Hepburn: Big ant glasses are no more! If you want to look edgy and cool, tiny sunglasses are all the rage nowadays.<\/p>\n<p>The more you can see of your face, the better. The lenses are just enough to shield your pupils from the harmful rays of the sun and nothing else. They\u2019re perfect for any trip to the beach or summertime stroll outside. They\u2019re sure to add hip to any outfit.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_7696\" style=\"width: 452px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Gap.-Tiered-Printed-Maxi.-summer-lookbook-600.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7696\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7696\" src=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Gap.-Tiered-Printed-Maxi.-summer-lookbook-600.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"442\" height=\"600\" srcset=\"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Gap.-Tiered-Printed-Maxi.-summer-lookbook-600.jpg 442w, https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/Gap.-Tiered-Printed-Maxi.-summer-lookbook-600-221x300.jpg 221w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 442px) 100vw, 442px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-7696\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Tiered Printed Maxi Dress.

This pattern is a staple in every fashion designers\u2019 collection this year.<\/p>\n<p>Florals can be incorporated into an outfit in a variety of ways from a dress and a shirt to pants, a cardigan, or even a headband.

More than just a shoe manufacturer, the company helps children and communities around the world through health, education, and economic opportunity programs.<\/p>\n<p>It all started back in 2006 when founder Blake Mycoskie visited Argentina and was struck by the many shoeless children he saw. Mycoskie\u2019s compassion triggered his creation of Toms Shoes and a program called One for One\u00ae. Through the program, the company matches a shoe purchase with a donation of a pair to a child in need.<\/p>\n<p>Whatever the occasion, strolling down the boardwalk, running to the farmer\u2019s market, relaxing in the park, the Toms line offers possibilities. The shoes go with pants, shorts, capris, and even short skirts. The Venice collection offers a variety of colors that can be worn in any situation and brings the colors of summer to life. A pair of Toms is easy to slip on, light on your feet in the warm summer temperature, and comes in a variety of colors to match any outfit.<\/p>\n<p>Shoes not only make or break your outfit, but their comfort level also matter during those long summer days, too.<\/p>\n<p>So, go bright, flip out, grab some straw and florals, and enjoy the summer!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Women&#8217;s summer 2018 fashion trends<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":7698,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[93,94],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7558","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-spring-summer-2018","category-spring-summer-2018-columns"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7558","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/3"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=7558"}],"version-history":[{"count":6,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7558\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":7855,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/7558\/revisions\/7855"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7698"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=7558"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=7558"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/healthyaging.net\/magazine\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=7558"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
