Summer is almost over, but that doesn’t mean we have to abandon all things fun and flirty just yet. These fashion trends to try before the leaves fly will help you get the most out of the waning days of summer…
The braid
Braids are the best thing to happen to hair since, well, ever. They project a style that is both sexy and low maintenance — a rare breed indeed. The options are endless — spend five minutes on Pinterest and you’ll figure that out. Whether you choose a waterfall braid, a head-band braid, a fishtail braid or just a side braid, get as much use out of this late summer hairstyle as you can.
Neon polish
Put your nails up in lights — neon lights. These not-to-be ignored shades have been crowding our closets all summer, and now it’s time to bring some flair to your tips and toes.
Essie’s in-your-face “Camera” neon pink nail polish will give your tired summer manicure some wow. Find it for $8 at essie.com and select salons.
Patent peep-toes
These must-have wedges are the perfect way to kick up your heels and celebrate the end of summer. Red? Check. Unbelievably sexy? Double check. Looks good with everything? Oh yeah. These be-the-envy-of-your-peers peeps are available at Forever 21 for $15.
Florals
Flowers are not just for spring anymore. As long as the sun is shining and the air is warm, it’s perfectly acceptable to rock floral prints. This scarf says, “You know what? I’m kind of tired of super-hot weather and almost ready for fall, but not quite.” Make that statement with this “Tasha Painted Floral Scarf,” $39 at Nordstrom.
Plaid shirt
Late summer is a time to get mad for plaid. This light fabric adds just a hint of fall, but still looks great tied at the waist over a bathing suit top with shorts. When it cools off, layer this look and pair it with those jeans that have been collecting dust all summer. Find this at Target for $20.
