This summer we are seeing a trend in flowing styles and fabric. We are moving away from straight lines and structured items towards styles that move with you and create a flow that flatters your natural curves. This trend seems to be most popular in the one shoulder top that is augmented with a long ruffle across the top. I commented on a previous post that this style is pretty much everywhere this season. But now, we’re seeing this feminine flow in the details of more than just the one shoulder top.
This trend is an easy one to incorporate into your wardrobe. All the different style variations mean that there’s something for everyone here. You can most likely find something that flatters your body type specifically. To make sure you find the right piece for you, keep in mind “fit”. Sometimes flowing pieces can look bigger on your body. Be mindful of adding volume and how flowing styles flatter your silhouette. Just because an item is flowy doesn't mean it can't be form fitting. If you need to adjust your sizing in an item to ensure it fits properly, make sure you take that into consideration. You want any piece to fit you properly and look like it was meant for you.
Below see a few examples of items from Nordstrom that showcase the various styles in which you'll see flow details this season. If you haven't already you'll start noticing this trend in all your favorite spots!
