SHOULDERS The off-the-shoulder/cold shoulder trends prove that this summer will be the defining trend of the summer, so get in on the action. We love this trend because it focuses on one of the sexiest, forgotten areas on a woman’s body, the clavicle and highlights it in a subtle, but sexy way. This style is also a win in the tan line department because it means we won’t have to deal with the annoying strap lines. The versatility of this style means that you can wear it in dress or top form, not to mention it’s suitable for all the summer occasions. Tip: When choosing a necklace to accompany this style, go for a choker style or a necklace with a shorter chain to allow your shoulders to still be the star. CONCERT TEES The concert tee is back and this time it’s a legitimate fashion piece. Long gone are the days when the concert tee were a corny display of fandom. Now, our favorite artists are putting thought into their merchandise like never before. No greater example is there than Mr. West aka Pablo himself. Kanye’s Pablo surprise popup sold over $1Million in merchandise over a two day period which speaks to the huge market for thoughtful unique pieces. A honorable mention goes to Justin Bieber for his dope collaboration with Fear Of God’s Creative Director, Jerry Lorenzo, for his Purpose Tour Merchandise. The heavy metal style font and the monochromatic palette made being a proud Belieber so easy. Classic worn out rock inspired tees like the classic Guns ‘n’ Roses tees are always the pinnacle of cool. Tip: Rummage through your parents closet for old vintage tour tees or go out, enjoy the festivals this summer and hit up the merchandise stands. Go for a monochromatic palette that will be easy to style and try going up a size or two, to achieve the effortless oversized vibe. 15 Unmatched
