No doubt the biggest trends of this season are stripes with florals coming in a close second. Every designer, every brand has done stripes and florals. I myself have been wearing stripes a lot in the past 2 years. J Crew is actually the king of stripe t shirts and they really have some cute ones this spring.
Where do trends start and who makes that decision? Well, the way I understand it, is it all starts on the streets better know as street style, England and France seem to be where they are seen first. The designers then take those looks and convert them into drawings, then mockups, fabrications, construction, to the runway, to the stores, then trickles down to mainstream fashion. Are you a trendsetter, a trend watcher, or a trend follower? I am definitely all 3. I love to see what others are wearing, but I also love trying new ways of putting it all together. Sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn’t.
A trend setter is someone who is not afraid to step out of the fashion box. It is really about exploiting an artistic value using clothes and accessories instead of a canvas and paint brush.
Below, I have listed the biggest trends of 2017 Spring/Summer. All of the highlighted words are linked to an item that I am talking about. If you are in the shopping mood then you can shop as you normally would. I just save you the research. It also helps to stimulate your own creative juices.

FLORAlS- I have been looking for a pretty floral dress for spring to wear to lunches with girlfriends and casual evenings out. I really love this maxi off the shoulder dress.
COLORS = yellow, green, shocking pink, pale pink,
BLOCK HEELS– My favorite is this pink suede that also comes in other colors, then this one is adorable that is more casual and check out this sassy gold metallic sandal. All of these can be worn with that great summer dress or a great pair of cropped jeans.
LACE UP ANYTHING = LOVE this pair of denim lace up wedges and I just bought these with a lower heel, & tops
SLEEVES- Love the bell sleeves on this top and this dress.
JUMPSUITS-Given an average height and size, a jumpsuit can be extremely elongating and sexy. Black is always a good choice
METALLICS-This metallic shirt has several trends. Can you guess them?
SEQUINS- I bought this skirt 2 years ago with a different label in it and I just found it again for a fraction of the cost of what I paid for mine. It is a great skirt. Dress it down with a denim shirt or pair it with a satin shirt. Think mixing textures.
MINI SHOULDER BAG-If you buy designer bags then this Gucci mini is the latest and greatest. It also comes in other colors. This one is good too and at a more affordable price point.
UNDERWEAR AS OUTERWEAR– All we are doing here is laying a slip dress over a t shirt. This is a trend/fad……fashion? I don’t know? I wouldn’t do it and I am pretty bold. We can leave this one to the millennials. If you are comfortable in it, then go for it!!
MEN’S SHIRTS-Love this one…did you see our DIY video using your boyfriend’s/husband’s shirt. Here is the link.
PRINTS + patchwork, seventies, pop art,
PLEATS + off the SHOULDERS top & dresses . This dress I have in red that you have seen recently.
**Just a little note….I am only the influencer when it comes to directing you to a website. All my ideas and words are my own. Just call me the hook up girl. If you purchase something using one of our links and then need to return the item or you have issues with the purchase, then you handle that with the company/website where it was purchased from. I have absolutely no ties to any of these merchants. If there is a sale made through the link then I make a small commission paid by an affiliate company that works with the retailers. I hope that makes sense.
So that being said, SheShe Show appreciates your purchases through our links. As in any business we have monthly reoccurring expenses. It takes a village to keep us up and running. Thank you for your support!!
