The Not-So-Conventional Summer Fashion List

Summer is just around the corner! And what better way to prepare yourself than to edit out your closet. Spring and summer clothing is somewhat nearly identical, but I take it that summer style is dab with more color and comfort to beat out that (sometimes irritating) summer heat. Let's take a few cues from what the stars have been wearing lately which will definitely look good on  your list of summer staple wears.

Bomber Jacket

We know, we know. The typical instruction goes that one should wear light clothing during the summer so as to adapt with the warmer weather. And we may sound like we're breaking the rules here, but  light bomber jackets are still a must especially for those cool summer nights. While it is understandable that you may be piling up on sleeveless shirts or bandeaus, you should also invest on a good bomber jacket with the right material that won't put you on a stroke when you find the need (or desire) to wear it. Plus, be particular with colors  and patterns. Add a dash (if not a whole lot!) of colors just like the ones Nana and Chae Jung Ahn are rocking.

Playful Dresses

Ok, so technically this one isn't such an offbeat suggestion: you can never go wrong with a good dress for whatever occassion or whether. And for this summer, take it from the girls of 4minute and f(x)'s Victoria to play with bold colors and patterns. It summer, your clothes should at least have that bright and sunny feeling. Don't stick with the typical plains. Furthermore, dresses are so easy to style and put on-a good dress and a good pair of slippers/sandals can make for one killer look (without going overboard). Plus, dresses can go from day to night. There ain't anything wrong with having a multi-purpose fashion piece.

Shoes

Sure, you'd rather be wearing flip flops all day, but how about no. By now you probably have a decent pair of slippers (that's a given), but it's also good to have a good pair of sandals or shoes that fit the summer and can be used for work, semi-formal appointments, and others. No one will excuse you for looking like a hobo just because it's summer. Goo Hara's black, strappy open shoes generally work well with dresses and shorts. The white sandals Yuri are wearing will most likely mesh well with skinny jeans, boyfriend jeans, slacks, and etc.

Leather

Wearing leather during the summertime isn't such a crazy idea really, just as long as you find the right design and fit to accommodate the season. Pairing leather bottom-pieces (like pants or skirts) with a supple, light-colored top will give your summer fashion statement a certain edge. It's also a great alternate for people who subscribers of monotones and not huge fans of bold patterns. Choose the cut or design that falls a bit away from your body (not something complete body-hugging) to allow your skin more room to breathe. In addition, as much as possible choose light leather, not the bulky and super thick ones. You don't want to look like a walking sauna, right?

So there you go. Don't be afraid to mix it up a bit. Happy summer!
