Sizzling Summer Style

SIZZLING SUMMER STYLE
THE FAMILY GROOVE'S HOT TO TROT SUMMER FASHION REPORT

It’s almost summertime — and the dressing is easy. This season’s lightweight fabrics and
full silhouettes make it simple to stay cool in style. Here, look at the most refreshing trends
this summer for women, men and your little one.

Sandal Story
This summers sandals run the gamut from sky-high wedges to simple
leather thongs. Classic espadrille-inspired styles (pictured, Hollywould),
strappy flats and metallic materials are the perfect backdrop for polished
toes this season.

Loose Fit
Full is the most forgiving silhouette this season. Wide leg pants (pictured, Badgley Mischka) are a sophisticated take on casual dressing. For the junior set, the trend trickles down to cute kimono style dresses. (pictured, Single Girls)

Light As Air
Lightweight fabrics are the perfect compliment to the season’s dresses and full tops. Look for loose fitting tanks and sexy dresses in silk well as comfortable cotton tops and skirts. For men, cotton shirts in punchy prints make a cool statement. (pictured, H&M)

Skirt The Issue
As the temperature rises, dresses are an easy way to beat the heat in style.
Simple shift silhouettes sit alongside flirty full sleeves and skirts (pictured, Hollywould).
Expect shorter hemlines for the summer season— the better to show off those tan gams.

Swing Time
For cool nights — or an air-conditioned evening on the town — the swing jacket is the season’s perfect cover-up. Look for unstructured styles in cotton or linen to wear with shorts, capris and dresses. (pictured, Rachel Comey)

The Tank
Nothing says summer like a sleeveless top and the tank top is one piece that
never goes out of style. Look for body skimming silhouettes in comfortable cotton
and a bright color palette, including eggplant and lime green. (pictured, H&M)
