This Summer: Shirts and Jumpsuits



It looks like cropped shirts are going to be a big trend this summer, which I love, a loose cropped shirt is perfect when paired with cute high waisted pants. The one problem with crops, as with many pieces of clothing, is that just because it looks great on lots of people does not mean it will look great on everyone! It is always best to be selective about what you wear. Along with crops, I really like the look of loose singlets tucked into cute pants. I find that its best to use cheap boys shirts, as you can cut them to better suit a female body, but without lookling like you can't choose a size that fits you. Also, male shirts have more interesting images than female shirts, but please steer clear of the tacky naked women prints! In my opinion it looks better mixing a males singlet with cute shorts, rather than looking like a floral pattern projectile vomited all over your clothes.
 

My favourite summer outfit is the jumpsuit; it takes all the difficulty out of matching shirts and pants and can be dressed up or down. Unfortunately, I haven’t found many jumpsuits out yet but I am hoping that is only because we are in early spring. The main jumpsuit that I want this season is all black with a singlet top and long pants, nipped in at the waist and tailored around the crotch, as no one really wants to look like MC Hammer. The only downfall of jumpsuits is the potential of going overboard with a print that is too bold, it’s possible your outfit may just assault the eyes of anyone that sees you. I find that block colours or prints with minimal print, eg the middle two images below, work best.
