This summer, get into stripes. Nautical stripes are certainly hot, but they aren’t the only stripes you can find. Abstract stripes are really “in.”
Bargain choice – Stripes that are uneven and wavy, running vertically, highlight this summer dress. This comfy dress can be worn casually or out to a summer party with the right accessories. This sleeveless dress features a self-tie belt hiding the elastic waistline. You can get this satiny striped dress for $24.80 at Forever 21.
Splurge-worthy – Graphic, edgy stripes in black, white and gray add a nice dimension to this boatneck dress. This dress has long sleeves and a self-tie sash at the waist. The Alice by Temperley dress has a beautiful drape and a wrap-like tulip skirt. This designer dress is available now at net-a-porter.com, marked down from $375 to just $225.

Boyfriend jeans hit the fashion scene a few years ago and brought along their summer counterpart, boyfriend shorts. This summer, boyfriend shorts are hotter than ever.
Look for distressed denim shorts that are cuffed at a length that isn’t too short or too long. We love the KUT from the Kloth stretch denim boyfriend shorts ($49 at Nordstom). These shorts feature a classic 5-pocket style and just a touch of spandex for comfort and stretch.
You can wear them uncuffed but they look absolutely adorable when they are cuffed. Partner these shorts with your favorite tanks and tees all summer long. When early fall rolls around, add a cardigan and keep on wearing them.

This summer look for jewelry that takes inspiration from the beach without being too gaudy. In other words, you don’t have to hang seashells from your neck or sparkling blue dolphins from your ears. Just pick pieces that subtly introduce beach elements.
In the Emily Elizabeth Jewelry Summer 2011 collection, you’ll find just that. For this collection, designer Emily Elizabeth Kolins took a subtle approach to summer.
“I chose to use shapes than resemble summer icons. The ‘Fan’ styles resemble the curve of a beach ball, beach umbrella and even a seashell,” the designer says.
With all styles plated in 14k gold, the collection retails between $14-$125, available at emilyelizabethjewelry.com.

 This summer, if you want to add just one piece to your wardrobe, make a breezy, swingy white dress.
Look for a dress that isn’t too long or too short — if it hits at the knee or just below, it’s perfect. The swingy shape makes it ideal for parties or it can even be used as swimsuit cover-up.
We love the tiered halter dress by Theory ($295) pictured here. This pretty dress can be worn halter style, or the thin straps can be tied in a bow on the bustine to make it strapless.
You’ll also adore the Lauren by Ralph Lauren ‘Esmeralda’ Linen Sundress ($158). This white linen dress features a full, gently pleated skirt and eyelet embroidery trim. It’s available at Nordstrom in sizes 8-16.

 Ruffles continue to be one of the hottest trends in fashion. This summer, add a breezy, ruffled dress to your wardrobe for a party of special date.
We love the Ruffle Ramos Dress from Ashley Michaelsen. This adorable chiffon dress features long sleeves and an empire waist. You can get this dress in any color upon request.
Priced at $250 at AshleyMichaelsen.com and fine boutiques, this dress is available in size 0-8 — they really need to expand their size selection.

Jean shorts are in style every summer. This year, pair them with unique tops and surprising accessories to create an assortment of different looks. Here are three terrific ways to wear your denim shorts this summer.
Preppy-nautical
Dark denim walking shorts anchor this nautical look, while the orange boat shoes and matching tote give this outfit a boost of fabulous summer color. Wear the cardigan during cool mornings, then take it off later in the day.
Vintage-chic
Even a casual summer outfit can have a touch of vintage appeal. The blue lace top sets off these traditional jean shorts in this ensemble. And the classic accessories complete the look in style.
Color me beautiful
Denim shorts don’t have to be blue. Get into denim in vibrant summer shades like tangerine, hot pink and tomato red. These red shorts look terrific with a flirty top and stack of bangles. By keeping the bag and shoes neutral, it keeps the focus on the wonderful color in this outfit.

 Straw hats
Get into straw hats this summer, and they don’t have to be big floppy beach hats. Try a straw cowboy hat in traditional neutrals or fun colors. We love the Tarnish Crochet Straw Hat from Nordstrom with beaded detailing. For just $38, this hat is a fabulous buy.
Ladylike headbands
Pull your hair back with a headband embellished with beading, lace, ribbons and other ladylike accents. You’ll adore the Tasha ‘Sasha’ Head Wrap with its sculpted metallic flower and chunky pearl beads. This headband is the perfect way to deal with a bad hair day.
Citrus shades
The hottest colors for summertime are lemon yellow, tangerine and lime green. For an easy-going tote bag, pick up the Grovestand on the Go Tote from ModCloth. This fresh bag is the ideal alternative to paper or plastic for your grocery store trips. This eco-friendly tote is available for under $7 and it folds up into its own little fruit-shaped pouch.
