Bottoms 

This summer shorts are distressed—while pants are flowy. Channel your inner hippie and find a pair of palazzo pants (or any wide legged pant), that'll look great, but will keep you comfy 'till the sun sets. Wanna show those gams off? Find a pair of shorts with some fringe, and pair it with a simple fitted crop top for a head-to-toe cool vibe.

Tops

Summer is playful and this year your tops are, too. This season, it's all about crop tops, cut-outs, mesh-panels, graphic t-shirts and ruffle tops with a touch of pastel and neutral colors. Wanna play things up? Sport a graphic tee that expresses how you feel, or opt for a ruffled top, which is the epitome of feminine charm—and is all about movement.
