Cutting Edge Summer Style: What You Should Be Wearing

The weather is warming up after another long, cold Michigan winter and that means it's time to follow the sun.

Check out some of the hottest sartorial trends for summer 2016.

Dusters or kimonos

We can probably thank Coachella for this, because the look was everywhere. At the music festival scene, kimonos and long vests topped bikinis or micro-shorts. For the sake of public decency, we advise pairing it with more modest underpinnings, at least on the street.

1990s grunge

Everything old-ish is new again, including the Seattle-sound look. Think ripped shorts with tights, overalls, button downs with shorts, stingy brimmed hats and floral slipdresses over baby T-shirts. Keep it modern with a close fit.

Patterned pants

Tired of sundresses and shorts? Looking for an office look? Consider patterned pants. They're available this summer at every price point, from Target shoppers to Nordstrom's ladies who lunch.

Floral pants, especially, are everywhere.

Here's inspiration.

Boho Chic

While the 1990s are back with a vengeance, the softest version of the 1970s never went away. Think soft waves, patterned maxi dresses and wide legged pants. Toss in braids if you want to rock it all the way.

A new twist on a classic is emerging this summer: The sneaker with everything. It's street style for models and celebrities that you can easily adopt to real life. Pair a pretty dress, shorts in any length, with a pair of on-trend crisp white sneakers.

Go for Vans, Converse Chuck Taylor or the fashion forward favorite superga.
