\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Trend #1: Who wears short shorts?<\/h1>\n

Whether you\u2019re supermodel tall or a petite PYT, short shorts make bold summer statement. Hello world, look at my gams! Shorts can be dressed up with platform wedges for a midsummer night date or made causal with sneakers for weekend errands. Discretion is the key. Skip the job interview or the church pews with this trend.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend #2: Going Hollywood<\/h1>\n

Oversized sunglasses always make me feel like the paparazzi should be following me (even though they never are). Live out your own tabloid fantasies with this classic diva\u2019s accessory. Play with bright colors or stick to staples like white, tortoise shell and black. No rehab required.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend #3: Take your sundress to the floor<\/h1>\n

Everyone knows that one of the easiest ways to stay cool is in a dress. Hemlines have plummeted and this season\u2019s hottest sundresses are floor length. It\u2019s comfortable, it\u2019s easy and most importantly it\u2019s chic. Best worn with a beautiful print in a breezy fabric, a long sundress makes any summer soiree worthwhile.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend #4: Gladiator ready?<\/h1>\n

Ancient Rome is relevant once again. The super strappy, flat sandal known as the gladiator style has fast become a warm weather no-brainer. Shoes sans heel are always a consolation for your feet. You might ruin a fresh manicure fastening the multiple buckles, but stepping out of your chariot never looked so good.<\/span><\/p>\n

Trend #5: Back to Africa<\/h1>\n

Tribal patterns, khaki suits and bold, chunky jewelry bring the motherland to mind\u2026 mine at least. This trend is all about incorporating aspects of African culture in prints, textures and shapes. Explore your suburbs in a belted safari jacket. Romance your lion king in a tribal printed sundress. Whatever you wear, do it with grace and pride, like an African queen would do. <\/span><\/p>\n
