If you’re a girl who loves to be at the forefront of summer fashion, this article is for you! You’ll know what to wear so you don’t look like a total goofball on your next date. If you disagree with me, please keep your opinions to yourself. Everyone should know: trends are seasonal. Nails, clothes, shoes, body spray, per­fume, and hairstyles all follow trends. If you look around you, everyone ad­heres to seasonal fashion paradigms to some extent. For example in winter we wear big jackets with fur on the hoodie or long coats. But when summer comes, everyone puts away their winter coats in their closets and take out their thin cardigans or other light clothing.
Some popular nail colors for this summer are mint green, light blue, hot pink, light pink, and bright neon colors. If you watch Youtube, you’ll see all the popular Youtube beauty gurus wearing these colors for their summer outfit looks of the day. Summer is all about wearing bright colors. These colors will complement and match any outfit you pair it with. French manicures are an elegant favorite for any season. The glossy pink nail with white tip at the top looks professional for job interviews and other formal situations. Make sure there are no streaks when you paint your nails!

Nail polishes can be bought at any drugstore near you. You can also find it in stores such as Mac Cosmetics, Sephora, and Sally’s Beauty Sup­ply store. There are many stores that I did not list, so go out, look around, and have an adventure! I would personally recom­mend that you buy nail polish at Sally’s Beauty Supply store because they have a large variety of colors in all shades and are cheaper than the ones at Mac Cosmetics and Sephora. Mac Cosmetics and Sephora’s prices range from 9-15 dollars for one, while Sally’s Beauty Sup­ply store costs about 4-5 dollars for one. One expe­rience I do not like about Sephora’s nail polishes are that they tend to streak for me. If it does not streak for you then that’s great!

Let’s talk about what kinds of shoes and clothes are best for summer! Cute wedges, flats, sky high heels would go great with dresses. Cool gladiator sandles and flip flops would look good with a tank-top and shorts, skirts, or capris. Converses and other sneaker type shoes are okay to wear, only if you are planning to go hik­ing or jogging. Other than those two shoes, please try to avoid wearing them. Since summers in New England get super hot and often humid, shorts are a major need inside everyone’s closets. Shorts look cute with belts, and brown and white are some great colors for the season. Brown is considered to be a rich, warm color for sum­mer and white is so versa­tile it can be matched with anything you wear.

Once you have your clothes, a girl also needs her own lovable scent. Any fruity or floral body spray or perfume is a deli­cious reminder of summer. Victoria’s Secret sells a wide array of these fruity sweet to floral scents. My top pick summer perfume would be the new 2010 Chanel Chance Eau Ten­dre. One spray will last all day leaving you smell­ing young and hip with a fruity trail.

One of the best (and certainly most popular) hairstyles for summer is the beach wave, maybe worn in a sporty ponytail. Beach waves are not only hot and sexy, but they also make you look like you’re ready to hit the beach! A simple tied up ponytail with side swept bangs are great in the sweltering heat. For working women in a more professional en­vironment, a slicked back ponytail is both class and efficient. Lastly put on a sparkly headband with a cute bow. This little ac­cessory is bound to turn heads!
