Whether you like to experiment with the latest trends or like to play it safe and only try them in small doses, trends surround us every year. Every runway establishes or affirms a myriad of trends that you will later find on the clothing racks. The entire process can be overwhelming, especially when wanting to be adventurous with trendy items. Therefore, we provided a quick guide for this season’s top trends, featuring different outfit ideas that incorporate various styles for this year’s spring and summer season.
The Neon Trend
Neon was spotted at the spring 2019 shows of Christian Siriano, Versace, Natasha Zinko, and Prada to name a few. The trend was showcased from head-to-toe neon ensembles to just statement pieces. This featured outfit idea incorporates splashes of neon to an all black composition. Black wide-leg tulip pants are paired with a citron asymmetrical bodysuit and a neon pink statement bag. Black sandals and black hoop earrings refrain the outfit from looking like a bag of Skittles (even though there is nothing wrong with looking like a bag of Skittles). This outfit utilizes the neon trend to add pops of color to a monochromatic look, as well as the asymmetrical trend, which adds visual interest to the outfit. For those who do not want to venture out too far down trend lane, restrict the neon to a small piece, such as a pair of neon statement earrings or a bangle. This outfit inspiration is perfect for a summer girls’ night out or date night.

There always seems to be some type of utility trend, and this year it was all about the cargo pants, as featured at Proenza Schouler, Chanel, Fendi, and Balmain. This outfit pairs high-waisted utility pants with a skin-fitting crop top. High heel sandals, a transparent tote, and gold hoops dress up the outfit. Utilitarian and femininity styles are stealthily combined in this ensemble. Want a more casual look? Pair with boots or sneakers, which are perfect for an errand day. This outfit also features another trend: the see-through bag, which makes quite the statement piece.
The Animal Print Trend

The Transparent Bag Trend
As mentioned above, transparent handbags are the latest craze. Not only are they fun to wear, they are practical for sporting events and concerts, since stadiums and similar locations require only see through bags. Pair a statement bag with a linen dress (a fabric that is always on-trend in the spring and summer). Finish the ensemble with embellished slides and dainty gold jewelry for an outfit that will carry you from spring to summer.
