STYLE EQUATION: FLORALS + BLACK AND WHITE

Mixing different trends, styles, prints, and silhouettes is more than half the fun of fashion. It's all about finding the balance when matching different pieces together while being true to your own personal style. This summer, there's a wide variety of trends for you to experiment with but we find that making the black-and-white trend more summer appropriate might possibly be the most challenging one! Since we love a good fashion challenge and we know you do too, we thought of pairing this summer trend with a classic print—florals! The soft and colorful touch of floral prints can instantly brighten up any black and white ensemble for the summer. Here are five looks that you can use as style inspiration when it comes to sporting this fashion combo:

Preppy. Floral pants were a big trend last season and they're still perfect to wear this summer! Make it the focal point of your look by simply wearing a white button down over it, with matching black and white quilted flats. If you're looking to brighten up this look, layer on a complementary colored tee or go with stacks of colored bracelets.

Feminine. If you're looking to wear this combo in just one piece, go with a black and white floral dress! The floral print will counter the seriousness of the black and white combo. Make your look different by choosing to wear a tee underneath your dress, then pair it with a hat and satchel for those busy summer days.

Grunge. Going for a more laid-back and edgy look? Go with a flowy, floral maxi skirt. Pair this with a black and white top and studded hat for the grunge effect. Finish off your outfit with black combat boots and you've got yourself a summer look that's grunge-inspired.

Effortless. If something simple and chic is more your style, simply wear your floral shorts with a simple, sleeveless, white button down paired with black sandals, and sunnies! This look can take you from daily errands to a fun date look.

Polished. Looking for an outfit that you can wear to that intership interview? A white lace top over this floral, black and white pencil skirt is the perfect look! Add neon accessories for more touches of summer!

As black and white combination is starting to trend again why not add some floral details like the photos above? It will surely give a different look from casual.

So how would you style this combo? Share it with guys by leaving a comment!

STYLE EQUATION: VEST + SHORTS

Keeping cool while looking stylish during the hot summer months can be a challenge for even the most fashionable girl. If you're looking for an outfit that can look chic and beat the heat at the same time, we suggest you try pairing your cool vest, a tank, and your cutest pair of shorts! Not only is this type of layering perfect for the summer, it can also be styled a ton of ways for you to create your best looks!

Glam. Dress up this combo by choosing two seperate, statement pieces! Wear your sequined and embellished vest over your metallic high-waist shorts. Simply wear a simple tank under the vest, slip into your suede pumps, and keep the accessories to a minimal for a summer party outfit.

Camo. Get in on the trend and sport a long camo vest. Match this with a pair of khaki shorts for a safari-inspired outfit. Accessorize with combat boots and your aztec print backpack, and you're ready for an adventure!

Grunge. Take this pairing back two decades ago by choosing to wear a vintage-print vest with black, lace-ip shorts. Finish off this look with sheer tights and booties and you're ready for that much-awaited concert with friends!

Denim on denim. Nothing is more chic than by wearing this combo in denim! Just remember to differentiate the two by picking different shades or patterns on your vest and shorts. Keep this look summer-friendly by pairing it with a white tee and printed accessories.

Tried this style during the Summer Solstice! :)

Rock out. Just because it's summer, it doesn't mean you can't rock leather! Grab your leather vest, faux or not, and wear it over your tie-dye shirt for a vintage feel. Edge out this look by opting to go with a pair of studded cut-offs. Wear this to a festival with a pair of flat booties and a flower crown.
