Top 5 trends to flaunt
>> Sexy Scarves. Scarves are a must-have for both men and women. The variety of styles, colors and patterns currently available is amazing. Don’t just buy any scarf though; find one that shows off your personality. >> Beaded Belts. Think of the ones you used to buy on family vacations, and you’ll know the look. Let nostalgia take over as you pair one with a white shirt. Or, stir things up and wrap it around the ankle of your boot. >> Dainty Dresses. Flirty and feminine is back! It’s so much easier to slip on just one article of clothing with a dress, and you can add a few great necklaces and you’re good to go. Just find a style that suits your body type. Watson’s personal favorites are by Custo Barcelona and Nicole Miller. >> Preppy Palates. Pull off the preppy look with pale-colored cotton trousers, button-down blouses, plaid belts and flat shoes. It’s a sure-fire way to display a fun and crisp style. >> Bracelets Galore. Just keep adding them to your wrist and stacking them up. And guys: Don’t be afraid to try this trend. It’s just fashion, and it’s supposed to be fun!Top 5 trends to ditch ASAP
>> Grungy Garb. Gag. Who ever thought that looked good? Ladies and gents, let’s try to look presentable. >> Whale Tales. Please, ladies. If your jeans are so low that we can see your thong, then it’s time for a double take in the mirror. >> Wearable Words. Sure, we love a good funny T-shirt now and then, but let your personality do the talking instead. >> Feathered Locks. While they were all the rage for a spell, feathers are for the birds. >> Nasty Neon. We’re all for color, but no one over the age of 20 should be sporting neon – except maybe at the beach, and that’s still a big maybe.Top 5 trends to keep your eyes on
>> Preppy Persists. This trend will stay huge even after the summer, so plan on adding a few fitted, colored cotton blazers to your wardrobe. They’re great to throw over a dress or with trousers for a day-to-night look. Watson has her eyes on a pink Scotch & Soda blazer that she saw coming out soon. >> White Blouses and Button-Downs. Coco Chanel was right when she said that white brightens your face and everyone looks good in it. Plus, they’re a wardrobe staple and they’re everywhere for fall. Slip one on with cute shorts and a blazer, and you’ll be set. >> ’50s-Inspired Shoes. Men and women should both be on the lookout for saddle shoes and chinos. >> Versatile Scarves. Scarves are even making their way into being a hot hair accessory. Watson suggests looking on Pinterest for styles and instructions on how to make these looks work in your hair. >> Dark-Wash Denim. Think of your dark denim as the perfect complement to the clean, crisp look that is now in style. Pair them with a solid-colored, fitted cotton button-down, a pair of Jimmy Choo’s nude patent-leather espadrilles and a scarf worn as a belt.Blue Ruby Boutique is located at 1420 Larimer St. Online at bluerubydesign.com or call 303-534-4255.
