The hot, summer weather is here; this means it is time for shorts! There are several styles of shorts which are on trend for the summer 2015 season. This means we will not have to sacrifice style for comfort this summer. Love that!

The runways brought us the boho-trend, and the Bermuda shorts trend. Shorts for summer 2015 reflect both of these runway trends. There are also a few shorts trends for summer 2015 which did not grace the runways in New York, Paris, Milan, and London; they originate from the streets, and from the beaches. Without further adieu, here are the ultimate trends in short for summer 2015:

Boho-chic: Boho-chic shorts are all the rage for summer 2015. We are seeing boho style prints, loose fabrics, and relaxed silhouettes on boho-chic shorts. Boho-chic shorts tend to hit mid-thigh or slightly above.

Bermuda shorts: This 80’s trend was all over the runways for spring/summer 2015. Bermuda shorts for summer 2015 tend to be shown in solid colors or denim. Look for styles which are slim fitting, and hit right at the top of the knee cap.

Board shorts: Board shorts are a huge street style trend. Originally popularized by surfers on the beaches of California, Florida, and Hawaii, board shorts are mainstream for summer 2015. Look for dark, solid colors, and drawstring waists. Also look for board shorts to hit between mid-thigh, and the top of the knee.

Bow-tie shorts: Shorts with bow-tie’s at the waist are a huge trend this summer 2015 season. Look for styles which hit mid-thigh, or slightly above. The silhouette is loose without flowing. This feminine style looks amazing with wedges or tie-up sandals.

Denim cut-offs: Cut-offs, which was a huge trend in the 90’s, 80’s, and 70’s, are back with a vengeance. Look for styles which are very distressed, and hit about mid-thigh or slightly above. Cut-offs look best with vintage tee’s, tank tops, flip flops, and loose fitting tops. This is a trend you can DIY. Have an old pair of jeans you don’t wear anymore? Why not cut them off! You’ll recycle an old article of clothing, and save money at the same time. Love that!

There you have it! The hottest trends in shorts from both the runways, and the streets; and shall we also say beaches?! There is a style of shorts for everyone this summer 2015 season. Which style is your favorite?

My favorite short for summer 2015 from around the web:

shades of red fall 2015 color trends for fall

Shades of a red is a huge color trend for the fall 2015 season. Designers favored red hues in their collections for the fall 2015 season; with Merlot and bright red being the top two shades.

Merlot, which is also referred to as “Marsala” the color of 2015, and bright red, are being spotted on everything imaginable for the fall 2015 season including clothing, accessories, shoes, handbags, and more! With two distinct red hues on the color wheel for fall 2015, there are two distinct ways to wear these colors during the autumn season.

When it comes to wearing Merlot, designers have opted to pair this wine hue with shades of black, navy, military green, and a bright blue hue, which resembles a cross between teal and turquoise, and is officially named “Biscay Bay.” These various combinations give Merlot or “Marsala” a modern look when shown with the fall season’s vintage 70’s trend. Merlot or “Marsala” is also a traditional fall hue giving the color a classic autumn look, and making it a natural hue to wear during the cool weather season.

Designers have also gravitated towards bright red for the fall 2015 season. This is a classic red hue; which is considered a year ’round color. Bright red is being shown alone, as well as paired with black, and neutral hues. This eye-catching shade is meant to be the main attraction of an ensemble, and it is meant to be complimented with neutrals or black; not blended with other colors. Look for statement pieces in bright red this fall 2015 season to make an entrance at a event, or a day-to-day statement.

Shades of red are great colors to look for this fall 2015 season when updating your closet. Not only are the hues traditional, there is a shade of red for every taste, style, and occasion. Love that! I find myself gravitating towards Marsala/Merlot. Which red hue is your favorite?

The 1970’s are a huge inspiration for fall 2015. Designers took aspects from 1970’s style, and incorporated it into their fall and winter collections for 2015. One of those 1970’s trends is the flap shoulder bag, also known as the saddle bag.

Although considered a classic handbag style, the flap shoulder bag, or saddle bag, is also associated with 1970’s fashion, and reflects the overall silhouette of the time; and upcoming fall season. This timeless handbag style is moving to the forefront of handbag fashion, and it is joining forces with the hotter-than-hot bucket bag as the IT handbag style of the autumn season.

Flap shoulder bags, or saddle bags, are simple in design. They offer a flap closure which covers up a roomy interior. Some designers are putting compartments into their flap shoulder bags to help keep you organized. These compartments are a modern feature not found in 1970’s vintage handbags. Compartments can be found in IT bags such as the Chloe Faye.

If the bucket bag is too roomy for you, a saddle bag is the perfect way to rock the 1970’s look this fall season. Flap shoulder bags, or saddle bag, will compliment flare jeans, a-line skirts, and cinch waist jackets, which give off a 1970’s vibe.

Flap shoulder bags, or saddle bags, are also a great investment for the fall 2015 season. Since this of-the-moment style also happens to be a classic style, purchasing a flap shoulder bag, or saddle bag, for fall 2015 will place a timeless handbag staple in your closet for many years to come. Love that!

Here are a few fabulous flap closure shoulder bags, also known as saddle bags, for the fall 2015 season I found around the web. I hope you love them! Happy shopping, and stay fabulous 😉
