Summer 2015 is fast approaching, this means it is bathing suit weather! There are so many fabulous one piece swimsuits for the summer season, it can be daunting! Thankfully, we can help let the runway trends dictate which direction we turn for swimwear this season. Here are a few things to look for in one piece swimwear this summer season:

1) Scuba: Remember those brightly colored swimsuits with black or white piping which were all the rage in the mid-90’s? Well they’re baaaaa-aaack! Look for scuba styles reminiscent of spring break 1996 in duel bright colors with piping. You will make quite the splash 😉

2) Cute-outs: Why wear one piece of fabric when you can have cut-outs? This summer season look for unexpected cut-outs which are sure to give you conversation starting tan-lines.

3) Fringe: Boho-chic is all the rage on and off the runway, so it isn’t any wonder that it is all the rage poolside too! Look for hippie-chic fringe all over one-piece swimsuits this summer season.

4) Strapless: Strapless one-piece bathing suits are all the rage this season! If you plan to sport this look, no diving allowed. Trust me on this one.

The shirtdress is a classic dress style. This timeless silhouette has been reinvented season after season appearing with varying sleeve lengths, collars, hemlines, and button patterns. For summer 2015, the shirtdress takes on a slim silhouette, single button pattern, double breast pocket design, and tie waist belt. The collars on shirtdresses for summer 2015 are being shown in every style imaginable. Love that!

The shirtdress for summer 2015 is considered a casual style best worn during the day and on weekends. Shirtdresses can easily be worn with flat sandals, high heel sandals, summer booties, and casual pumps. Shirtdresses also look amazing for summer 2015 when styled with an on-trend bucket bag, or flap closure shoulder bag, reminiscent of the 1970’s.

Fabrications for summer shirtdresses are mostly in natural fibers such as cotton, and silk. There are a few styles being found in soft polyester, and rayon. Look for crisp cottons, or flowing silks, for the most “of-the-moment” look in shirtdresses this season.

Although not a dominant runway trend, shirtdresses are a favorite on the street; making them one of the hottest street style trends in casual attire for the summer 2015 season.
