Crop tops:
Crop tops exemplify fashion resilience. Crop tops have been back in style for a few years now and for the time being, they’re here to stay. Itty bitty versions of normal tops might seem difficult to pull off, but they’re surprisingly versatile and can look good on anyone. Keep in mind that there are all sorts of different kinds of crop tops to wear and all sorts of different ways to wear them. No matter who you are or what your personal aesthetic is, there’s a way for you to feel good in a crop top.
Shirt dresses:
Fashion’s current penchant for shirting brings the classic shirt dress back to the forefront. A shirt dress in a neutral tone is your essential for sleek, minimal chic look; whilst its clean lines provide an ideal canvas for this season’s bold botanicals and vibrant colour palette. However, make sure that if you are short heighted then a full length shirt dress will not look flattering on you. So, opt for a knee length shirt dress and pair it with cigarette pants.
Stylish tunics:
This season tunics have become a comfortable addition to many women’s wardrobes. Longer than many women’s shirts, but shorter than dresses, tunics can dress up jeans and give you a fun, modern look. There are many kinds of women’s tunics of different lengths, styles and shapes. The trick is to wear a tunic in a way that is most flattering for your body.
Keep in mind that the fit is meant to be loose, not snug, and the fabric should not be too heavy. A tunic top should billow and flow, not cling to the body. It should also be fitted somewhat in the neck and chest area so that you don’t look shapeless. If you want a tunic shirt that will flatter your shape, try a V-neck tunic; it draws attention up to your face and neck.
Make sure that you wear the right kind of pants with your tunic. Wide-leg or baggy pants and jeans aren’t flattering to wear under a tunic shirt. Instead, wear leggings or fitted pants with a tunic.
Ball skirts
If you’re looking to pump up your closet with princess-worthy fantasy then ball skirts is the way to go. It’s fun, it’s ensemble-elevating, and it makes you feel like royalty. Ball skirts are massive this season. These skirts that look like beautiful explosions resting on our lower body scream exaggerated beauty. Whether in toned down hues or bold neon shades, prints or patterns these full shapes make us all look like retro dolls in a very modern sophisticated way.
Pleated skirts are also very in these days. There is something about that longer hem, flowy fabric just brushing off your calves as you make your way through the crowd of the town, on your way to some posh new place to meet with your girls, that looks just fab.
