SUMMER TRENDS | 2016
KRISTINA LYNN PHOTOGRAPHY & DESIGN www.KristinaLynnPhoto.com
Summer is here! I don’t know about you, but I’m always excited for the sun to start shining and the temps to start rising. That means it’s time for all the cute summer trends to start showing up in my favorite stores. The bright colors, the bold patterns - such a nice change from the muted palettes of winter. Typically you will find me in jeans all year round - yes that’s right, I am the crazy person that will wear jeans even when it’s 90 degrees out - but recently I have really been lusting after some of the super cute dresses that are hanging on the racks. Maxis, midis, minis there’s something for everyone. I think I’ll be working some of these into my wardrobe this year! I am also loving all the textures like the lace details and cutouts. It’s a great way to include some pattern into your wardrobe without having to embrace something bolder. This guide is full of the hottest trends for this season, showcasing looks from my favorite Denver boutiques (most of them have online stores too for you out-of-towners!) as well as a few national stores, modeled by my wonderful Class of 2016 and 2017 senior model teams. So check out the hottest trends, find the ones you love and happy shopping!

Bohemian The Bohemian style has been around for a few seasons now, but it’s not going anywhere yet! I love the mix of casual, 70’s and vintage vibe that this style brings to the table. Bohemian is all about comfort, incorporating loose, flowing fabrics in natural materials like cotton. Complete your Bohemian look with chunky jewelry or a fun headband.

Bright Colors Summer always brings out the bright color palettes and this year it’s in full force! Bold colors like fiery red, hot pink, teals and more. These colors can be worn on their own, or pair them with white jeans or a jacket for a fresh crisp look.

Prints & Patterns Prints and patterns can be seen everywhere this summer. From plaid and stripes to florals and abstract prints, there’s something for everyone. Rock these graphic prints on their own or work bold patterns into your wardrobe by pairing them with solid colored staples and simple accessories.

Lace Details If a bold pattern isn’t your thing, then go for a more subtle pattern - lace! Lace details are all over the place, from a simple neckline cutout to a full lace crop top. This style trend adds just enough interest to your wardrobe without being over the top.

Fringe Fringe is new to the style scene this year and is probably one of the biggest trends of summer. You will see it everywhere lining skirts, dresses and jackets as well as bags, jewelry and other accessories. Add a little fun to your look with fringe!
