Standard of Fabulous Hot trends for summer

By Arlette Mann Fashion Editor

The summer is quickly approaching, and the summer trends are making their way to our Instagram and Pinterest feeds. There’s a very large variety of new trends, from long dresses and chunky jewelry to athletic wear and cargo style clothing.

One of the trends we’ve been seeing recently are maxi dresses. Long dresses have always been a summer staple, but there seem to be a lot more maxi dresses appearing on our social media feeds. Whether for beachwear or formal events, we can’t seem to get enough of the long dresses. If you are interested in partaking in this trend, you can find many of these cute dresses on sites like Revolve, Bloomingdale’s, and many more.

These dresses are commonly paired with another trend that has been taking over; chunky jewelry! We’ve seen everything from big necklaces to a pair of chunky earrings, and there are so many ways to style it. These statement pieces are either the classic silver/gold, or they can come in a variety of different colors. In addition to the large size of these pieces, many of them also come in irregular and funky shapes, which adds another cool element to your outfits!

Another trend that has been making way is athletic wear, and specifically sports headbands. People are starting to pair every casual outfit with a sports headband. The thick band can be worn with a pair of jeans, some sweatpants, or a variety of other casual everyday outfits.

Lastly, many runways included utility-style clothing for this spring/summer season. At first, it was just cargo pants, but now it is everything: shirts, jackets, and even skirts! Cargo-style clothing is extremely versatile, and can be worn in a very casual setting or a more formal setting. For a casual outfit, a pair of cargo pants with a tank and sneakers is a good option. But for a more formal event, a matching cargo top and skirt with a pair of heels can be very cool as well. The cargo trend is constantly evolving by designers who are trying to spin it in their own way, and it has proven to be very popular.

There are many summer trends that have been coming into style this year, with plenty of variety. There’s everything from girly to more tomboy clothing, so there’s definitely something for everyone!

Sephora’s Latest and Greatest: News, scoops, dupes, and more

Especially with Sephora’s recent sale, the last few months have felt like a huge, social-media-induced makeup craze. Viral makeup and skin- care products have been living rent-free in my For You page, and I’ve never been more eager to buy and try them. But when my expensive Sephora package finally arrived last week, I found myself wonder ing which products were worth the hype.

Alongside the rise of TikTok over the last few years has been the ever-increasing rate of consumer trends going in and out. Last year, the big store to hit was Brandy Mellville, where you could purchase comfortable and trendy clothing. This year, Sephora has become the focus of our wallets’ attention. Not only are new and interesting beauty products exciting to try out, but beauty enhancers and self care products also provide the confidence boost that so many young adults crave. The post-covid societal stress on health and wellness has allowed for the popularity of clean makeup and natural makeup looks, commonly dubbed the “Clean Girl” makeup aesthetic.
