Welcome to the in-between season of not knowing what to wear. As we enter the realm of spring/summer transitional style, the key is to be fashionably comfortable. Not knowing what to wear this time of year is normal, especially for those of us living on the Gulf Coast. Fortunately, the trends are on our side.
Cutouts, for instance, will top the must-have list for the spring/summer season. It’s a fresh take on designs that we see often, and you’ll definitely notice it in swimwear, dresses and more whether you’re shopping in stores or online. I love how side cutouts on clothing create a slender shape, no matter what size the piece is. The best part is when the side cutouts are adjustable with ties or strings, which add detail and flair. Plus, they let you modify the size of the cutout to suit your taste and comfort level.
Cutouts have attracted me to some of my favorite looks. For example, an asymmetric Manning Cartell dress (via Rent the Runway) that I’ve shared previously is the perfect example of this style creating a hint of sexiness while still being elegant.
If you’re keeping it casual, the Run It One-piece from Free People has me ready for the perfect beach day. This sporty jumpsuit featuring a wide-leg silhouette is very easy to wear while being youthful. The side cutouts and slits on the legs are making me want to add it to my cart immediately!
If that one-piece is too much for you, check out a subtle cut-out top from Bloomingdale’s. You’re still giving a nod to the trend, but in your own way. This would be super cute with a pair of jean shorts, and you could even dress it up.
As we head into summer, follow this fashion rule above all others: Have fun with your clothes!
