Best Summer Fashion Trends of 2015

A new season means new trends, so here I've broken down the hottest summer trends of 2015.

Leather Harnesses- As I predicted in my fashion trends predictions for 2015 blog post, harnesses are the accessories to own this season. This trend has been done by various celebrities and most recently Taylor Swift although she could have dressed for this trend in a better way and wore the harness the right way round!

Latex- Fetish and Bondage inspired clothing are in as I predicted in my fashion trends predictions of 2015 blog post. Latex is the 'it' material of choice for the designers, as we've seen this on the Dior catwalk where the models were wearing latex high heels. Also, The designer Atsuko Kudo is known for her latex clothing and she's the go to designer for many celebrities such as: Kim Kardashian, Rita Ora and Laddy Gaga. Also, Taylor swift and her friends all wore latex and other fetish clothing items by Kudo in the Bad Blood Music Video.

Who doesn't remember her Mini mosaic crystal royal blue dress by Murad? That dress set fire to the Billboard's Blue Carpet for sure. From the heart sheer panels on the back to its tight and form fitting sophistication on her slender body. The crème de la crème of it all was the soft pink lip, for sure.

 Next up, we have this Golden Goddess gown that made fashion history at the Grammys. From the back cut-outs to the sexy revealing chest cut-outs, this look couldn't be more royalty approved! Ohh and we cannot forget about the longer back that drags along taking space and status for others to kneel and bow down for this magnificent piece of a gown.

Now, to this elegant long black dress with the sheer provocative back. This stunning gown made her look like a super-model with its sexy slit at the back revealing her toned legs and beautiful strappy black heels. To top all of this off she put on her signature red lip.

Moving on to something more 'Red' and casual with her cream long sleeve lace top with its preppy collar and the sexy high-waisted black leather shorts. However the true star of the show was that glittery Red bass and velvet Red shoes! But wow her hair with its bounce and bangs was done to perfection for this electric look.

Another Grammys awards show and another extraordinary dress with a message of survivor and fighter with her armour inspired gown. The champagne dress covered with sparkling silver net, glowed and shone through to our hearts. This is high fashion done to perfection by keeping it casual with the short sleeves. The strong silver eye-shadow was the perfect combo with the soft pink lip to this bold and static look.

Now, moving along to something wonderful and magical, is this costume that screams 'parade' with a hint of 'Alice In Wonderland'. The comical hat, the sexy fishnets, the classic shorts to the mini-jacket with its circusy and parade elements combined; the whole look comes together to light up the show.

To something mystical and truly captivating with its pure and powerful aura is this silver embellished and flowy white dress. Topping all of this off is her old fashioned waves, paying omage to old Hollywood hair styles.

Short sexy mini dresses are Taylor's speciality and this long sleeved floral dress by Murad is the perfect example. The dress has a vintage aira with the way the flowers are drawn and the clear sequence covering the dress give it that much needed Hollywood glam.

Bling can look extremely tacky but Taylor makes it look classy with this crystal incrusted short silver dress. This little dress fits her like a glove and shows off her best assets, her killer long slender legs.

How to determine your body type and how to dress it

As girls we come in various heights, shapes and sizes; so I'm going to help you find out what is your body type and how to style it. You can watch the video I made about this, here:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JnmWGPigkDY

The hourglass body type:

 A woman exhibiting this shape has large breasts a C cup and above with a round full booty. Therefore, if you  have these characteristics this could be your body type. But to help you out even more I'll tell you the rest of the body features of this shape such as a flat stomach, a defined waist with considerably broad or defined hips. Some examples of  hourglass body type would be: Scarlett Johansson, Kim Kardashian and on a smaller scale of curves with a tall frame would be Blake Lively.

Styling an Hourglass body:

Following Kim K's footsteps, in terms of her wardrobe would be the best thing you can do in terms of flattering your body shape. Now, I say wear body con dresses and bandage dresses as they highlight your curves and draw attention to them and with curves like those you've got to flaunt them girl! Tight skinny jeans are perfect for you and plain simple tops are preferable, as ruffles and patterns can be distracting and off putting so you've got to be tasteful with them.

The Top-heavy body type:

There are two types of body shapes in terms of being top heavy: one type is having very large breasts DD+ and the second type is when you have quite broad and thick shoulders.

So if your type one, you would have very large breasts and quiet a flat and small bottom and so you resemble the letter 'P' basically. Examples of celebrities with this body type would be: Katy Perry, Kat Dennings and Wendy Williams.

If you're the second type then you would have small bottom undefined waist or hips and small breasts but with large broad shoulders.

Styling a top-heavy body:

If you have the shape of Kat, then wear tight tops and skater or circle skirts with allot of volume in them to create an illusion of an hourglass shape. Wear jeans with pockets on the back so that the focus of the eye is on the centre of your bottom where most of the fat is and dress it with a tight top to draw attention to your bust and deflect it of your bottom.

If you are the second type of  top heavy then wear strappy tops because they cut your shoulders in half and thereby, creating an illusion of smaller shoulders.

The bottom-heavy body type:

This is where you have a very large and round booty with smaller upper body or torso for that matter; therefore you have small bust size in comparison to your bottom's size. examples of celebrities with this body shape are: Beyonce, JLO and Khloe Kardashian.

Styling a bottom-heavy body: 

To really show off your bootylicious body you've got to wear tight skirts with flowy tops so that the attention is kept on your curvy bottom.Wear tight leather pants and when it comes to jeans, wear light and pale coloured skin tight jeans because light washed jeans add more volume to your booty.

The Pear shape body type:

Here you have got a small upper body with small sized breasts, narrow shoulders and a very broad and large hip bones and hips that they stick out in everything that you wear. So if you are two sizes bigger for pants compared to tops and you struggle pulling up your jeans over your luscious hips then you my lady are a pear shape. Note this though you can be a pear shape and bottom heavy at the same time, having got the large hips and a bootful booty just like Rose Mcgown and Shakira.

Styling pear shape body:

well, if you've got the hips then buy low cut jeans and show them off, but you can also accentuate the narrow waist with a thick belt over a tight body con dress. Also, wearing a flowy skater skirt that sits above your hips can hide your hips broadness.

The slender body type:

Almost all models have this body type. The characteristics of this body type are: having undefined hips or waist, small breast size and small and relatively flat bottom. Examples of this body type are: Taylor swift, karlie Kloss and Liv Tayler.

Styling the slender body:

wear tops with ruffles and patterns to create an illusion of a larger bust and to add more volume in your bust region; also heart neckline tops do the job very well. Moreover, wearing skater and circle skirts are good to keep the focus on your thin legs.

The apple body type:

this is where you have a slightly broader built and frame but you gain weight in your stomach easily and that is where most of the volume is at. Example of this body type is Kelly Osbourne.

Styling the apple body:

Wear flowy and loose tops with jeans and when it comes to dresses get hold of dresses that have a heart shaped neckline to maximize your bust size and have them be poofy and flowy from under the bust so that it hides your stomach.
