Totally Tribal!


Tribal prints are the new "florals" for fall! These strong, graphic prints are popping up everywhere this fall.

From accessories, to shoes, to cute tops, pants, and dresses, there are so many different ways to incorporate tribal-inspired designs into your wardrobe!

If you are head-over-heels for the tribal trend, be bold and wear an entire outfit in tribal prints (like the ones shown below).

If you just want to test the waters of the tribal print trend, try incorporating tribal prints into your outfit through shoes or an accessory! Wearing wedges in a tribal print, like the 80%20 Paz Wedge (shown below) is a great way to add tribal prints to your outfit in a more subtle way.

Also, try adding a tribal-inspired necklace (like the Carol Marie Double Ethiopian Pendant Necklaces shown below). These necklaces are a great accent to any outfit and they will always be in style!

Complement tribal prints by selecting other pieces of your outfit in earth-tones and stick to accessories made out of natural elements, like wooden bangles!

Short Shorts Season!


The winter is over and it's finally time to break out the shorts that have been hiding in the back of your drawer for the past few months! Better yet, why not invest in a pair of KILLER cut-offs that you can rock all spring and summer long?

Short shorts season is back and better than ever this year! There are so many fresh, new ways to wear cut-offs this season. From frayed, to colored denim, to studded denim shorts, there is a style that suits everyone this spring!

Wear traditional frayed cut-offs with a tank and cute pair of sandals for a more casual, every-day look.

Add a pop of color to any outfit by wearing colored denim cut offs (like the Black Orchid Black Star Cut Offs in Lotus pictured below).

For a look that's a little bit more edgy, try pairing the Black Orchid Tuxedo Cut Offs pictured below with a funky top and a killer pair of wedges! It's such an easy outfit to throw on, and you will be sure to turn heads anywhere you go this spring and summer!

Trend: THE BOLD AND THE BEAUTIFUL!


Bright colors and bold patterns are popping up in every major fashion line this spring and summer. There are so many different ways that you can incorporate bright colors and bold prints into your every-day wardrobe! Whether you are a daring fashionista who enjoys pushing fashion boundaries or someone who prefers a more subtle approach to fashion, there are plenty of ways to incorporate this fun trend this spring! Whether you choose to rock a staggering notice-me-bag, shoes, or dress, adopting this trend is guaranteed to glamorize your spring and summer wardrobe in a major way!

DARE TO BE BOLD:

Lines such as Mara Hoffman, Ramona LaRue, and Alexis are incorporating bold patterns and bright, neon colors into their designs this spring. These designers all feature pieces in their spring collections that have stunning head-to-toe bold patterns in bright colors. Wear any of the outfits shown below to make a statement this spring!

When wearing a whole outfit in a bright color or bold pattern, make sure to pair it with more subtle accessories. Shoes in a neutral color are always a good option for pairing with a daring outfit!

Whether you’re at a poolside party, running errands, or even at an elegant evening affair, there is a great way for you to wear this fun trend. No matter the occasion, Swank has the perfect outfit to ensure that you make a splash this spring!

Add a POP of Color to Any Outfit:

Even if you aren’t comfortable rocking head-to-toe bold patterns or bright colors, you can still enjoy this fun trend in a more subtle way! Simply choose one article of clothing to be your pop of color in your outfit.

You can still wear a bright pair of shorts or a colorful top without looking like you’re going to a rave. Try choosing one article of clothing in a bright color and then stick to neutral colors for the remaining pieces of your outfit.

You can also rock a bold pattern in a more subtle way. Instead of wearing an outfit that has a bold pattern in a bright color, try wearing a bold pattern that is in subtle earth tones. This is also a great way to wear this trend at work!

Spice Up Any Outfit with a Bold Handbag, Accessories, or Shoes:

This is such an easy way to add a little pizzazz to any outfit this spring! Don’t be afraid to go all out with this trend.

If you are feeling extra daring, try pairing your outfit with accessories or a handbag in bright neon colors!

Adding bright shoes, like the Coraline wedges shown below, will help you look bold and beautiful from head to toe!
