I don’t know about you but with a hopeful new season just around the corner, I’m definitely ready to shake things up a little in the sartorial department. To get my creative juices flowing and my wardrobe feeling fresh for the warm season ahead, I turned to the Spring/Summer 2021 collections to see all the fun and modern ways designers have been styling the latest trends and taking notes on any cool styling tricks that I can easily try for myself. Luckily, there are plenty of innovative fun pairings and styling ideas that are anything but boring. Take a peek below as I share some of the Insta-worthy looks that are wearable yet striking and I fully plan to give a go this spring and summer then shop all our picks to achieve the looks.
Style Your Hoodie With a Skirt & Heels
Hoodies have been a go-to in our wardrobes this past year, but they made a prominent appearance in the spring collections—styled with a variety of different skirts from wrap skirts to fun party skirts—and finished off with heels. It's a chic and fresh way to elevate the humble basic this upcoming season.
