Summer is without a doubt my favourite season. Not very surprising considering my obsession with denim shorts and the fact that I grew up (and currently reside) in the Caribbean where it is pretty much summer year round. However,the arrival of the official spring/summer season means that the fashion focus is now on all things cute, airy, colourful and ‘summery’! This is the perfect time for persons like myself who reside in tropical climates to stock up on hot weather/island essentials like shorts, lightweight clothing, summer hats, swimsuits and sandals. Shopping for such items in the fall/winter season is a serious struggle! The Spring/Summer season is also an exciting time because it is an opportunity to upgrade your wardrobe with the best fashion trends for summer as dictated by the top fashion houses, designers, influencers and editors. With each season, there are staple trends that continue to stand the test of time. For the summer season, florals and denim shorts continue to reign supreme. However each new season also brings with it new styles and trends. Most of these styles will be retired by the end of the summer, some will be recycled in a number of the following fashion seasons and a golden few will become fashion staples. Keep reading to find out the best fashion trends for Summer 2017 (in my opinion) and my personal style verdict on the life span of each trend…
