Sorbet and Neon Colors
The future's looking bright and colorful with a focus on pastels and loud colors. Stick to tailored silhouettes for the baby blues and pale pinks, and try a bold electric purple clutch or a hot pink heel if you are color shy. Standout colors include a pistachio shade of green and a show stopping, Day-Glo orange hue that I haven’t seen since the 90’s.ue that I haven’t seen since the 90’s.

​Boiler Suits
Jumpsuits have been all the rage for the last few seasons and with good reason! They work for almost any occasion, can be dressed up or down and it's a one and done no brainer outfit that doesn't take much else to work. The boiler suit is the cooler, sophisticated older cousin of the jumpsuit that smokes cigarettes and causes sartorial scenes at the local McDonald's. You should get one.

​Wide Leg Pants
Raise your hand if you are tired of squeezing into skinny jeans and leggings... thank the fashion gawds for wide leg pants and joggers! Ladies, put the skinnies and yoga pants on hold and pull up a pair of wide leg pants in a variety of fabrics (including denim) or easy to wear jogger pants so that you can stylishly and effortlessly run errands.

​Tie Dye
Guess what print is back?! Tie dye- but not in that obnoxious hippy dippy generic t-shirt way... this time around the psychedelic print is featured on luxury fabrics and embellishments and looks grown up compared to the DIY rubber band version. Although that still looks pretty cool to me too, especially when worn with a denim mini skirt and a pair of lace up sandals.

Shorts
​I know there is somebody reading this right now who hasn't worn shorts since the late 80’s and don't plan on starting now. However, now would be a good time to change your mind because they have a fit for everybody- cycling shorts for the super bold, slouchy Bermudas for the artsy type, and tailored knee length duchess satin versions for the super fancy set that likes to dress their shorts up.

Personally, I have had a soft spot for acid yellow for years and if I find a boiler suit in my size with the right amount of slouch- it is OVER! Do you plan on trying any of the above trends? If so, tell me in the comments below!
