5 Summer Style Trends You Should Try

Comments (17)

This summer is all about trying new fun trends, as seen on a handful of our favorite celebs. Take a look at the following five fashion and beauty flashes and tell us: Will you try or pass it by?

1. Short Hairstyles:
Ever since Solange Knowles waved bye-bye to her long weave, several celebrities have followed suit, including Janet Jackson and Vanessa Simmons. In addition to looking chic and sophisticated, a cropped cut will keep your head cool in the warmer months. Will you try or pass it by?
2. Socks With Heels:
Christian Dior's spring/summer 2010 runway featured girlie socks with heels, and Rihanna brought the look to life on the red carpet at this year's Teen Choice Awards. Socks can keep your feet dry while also offering a fun, preppy punctuation to any outfit. Will you try or pass it by?

3. Blue Nail Polish:

Beyonce was seen wearing pastel eggshell-blue nail polish in her 'Why Don't You Love Me' video, and fashionistas like Jessica Alba have donned the fun color on the red carpet. Pastel blue will help channel the bright days of summertime while setting you apart from the crowd. Will you try or pass it by?

4. Mixed Prints:

Whether you're going for leopard-on-leopard or stripes with florals, unique mixes are hot for the warmer months. If done incorrectly you could look a little clownish, but if you rock it right, you're sure to make a statement. Will you try or pass it by?

5. Athletic Wear:

Gym is glam this season! Wear sweatpants with heels or a terry top with ripped jeans for a casually chic allure. Will you try or pass it by?

After being snapped by paparazzi last week, Solange Knowles was shocked by the backlash from fans. On her Twitter page, she wrote, "i. just. wanted. to. be. free. from. the. bondage. that. black. women sometimes. put. on. themselves. with. hair."
