The Latest in Fashion
Our top picks on what’s new, what’s hip - all in all, what you should be wearing
And now for the fun part!
Because trending styles continue to evolve, even in the midst of a pandemic, we pride ourselves in staying on top of things, which is why we've compiled a list of our top must-haves we think you're going to love!
1. Float on Flares are back! And in an all-new color!
Remember these? Free People's Float on Flare now comes in 4 different colors. Can you guess which one is new???
This best-seller is a favorite for several reasons. Featuring a super high rise and a raw bell bottom hemline, you can cut them down to size, so they'll always look just right!
We love to dress these up or down depending on the occasion, be it a daytime function, an evening out, a vacay to that one place we've been longing to visit, or that family trip we know we have to take; but above all, this killer pair of jeans will never fail to put on display the wild, boho goddess in us all, and isn't that really the goal here?
Float on Flare, €78
2. Animal print is ferociously here to stay
Keeping things fierce with a bit of cheetah print to compliment that wild nature of yours. From Tiare Hawaii, we give you the Smocked Mini Dress. We guarantee you'll never want to take it off. Featured in a lightweight, breathable fabric, we adore the off the shoulder sleeves, smocked bodice, and short skirt on this one.
Pair it as we have here with a braided leather belt to show off that slight waist of yours. We love that it's adjustable, too. Clearly, someone knew we needed to factor in our craving for cheeseburgers.
Smocked Mini Dress, €106
Braided Leather Belt, €78
3. Anyone for the beach?
Compliments of Vitamin A, we simply love a classic high-waist bikini; however, this one has some fine embellishments that takes it several steps further than your average swimsuit.
Featured in a beautiful burnt orange shade, we're dreaming of afternoon sunsets at the beach. Meanwhile ring detailing on both top and bottom adds a hint of golden sophistication to the look.
Our Misty Top comes in a classic sweetheart cut that ties at the neck and back, complimenting the high leg cut of the Lolita Bottom. The suit is made with a soft ribbed material that hugs the body, highlighting your natural silhouette for a sexy AND comfortable look. All-in-all, there's really nothing not to love here.
Misty Top, €108
Lolita Bottom, €102
4. Add a bit of plaid to your life
Plaid is not limited to that flannel you always wear come Christmastime. It has been known to make an appearance in every season, and summer is no exception.
Free People's Cherry Madness Plaid Top will bring the perfect amount of playfulness to your wardrobe. It features a bustier-inspired top, exaggerated puff sleeves, and a fitted cropped silhouette. Pair it as we have with our infamous Float on Flares and a wide-brimmed felt hat. Can anyone say 'Boho on the Prairie?'
Cherry Madness Plaid, €88
Billie Hat, €78
5. Round up a new bag...or five
New season, new bag! Can we get an 'Amen!' over here???
The Spinning in Circles Bag is made with vegan leather in a simple circular shape with intricate woven detailing at the front. It's the perfect size to hold all your goodies, and from an aesthetic point of view, it serves as just the right accessory to any outfit.
Spinning in Circles Bag, €58
6. Get maxed out on maxi dresses
Free People's I'm the One Maxi truly is the one for you! It features a linen-like material, embroidery detailing throughout the body, and a ruffled hem.
As you can see, it's awfully cozy and can be worn on any manner of occasion. We love this as a leisurely around-the-house dress, or paired with a set of clogs and a wild pair of earrings for a surprisingly chic evening out. The versatility of this baby truly is astounding, we have to say.
I'm the One Maxi, €168
7. Throwback Thursday is now every day when it comes to graphic tees
In the realm of graphic tees, we're all in favor of the classics. Take this Pink Floyd tee from Daydreamer, for instance. featuring an oversized fit made from ultra soft 100% cotton fabric, the loose knit cotton jersey paired with it's slightly longer sleeves (which are perfect for cuffing!) reminds us of our favorite vintage tees from long ago (or perhaps from a time when we weren't quite kickin' yet).
And hey, if Pink Floyd's not your jam, go ahead and check out our full selection of graphic tees. We may just have the rocker you're looking for.
PF Headmaster Tee, €72
8. A whole new way of accessorizing
We know it's pretty rough out there, which is why we're committed to keeping all our lovely bellas nice and safe (as well as fashionable).
