South Florida Requires A Different Kind Of Fashion
Let's start off with the year-round heat and humidity, shall we? It's hot outside so we Miami gals need to wear light and airy fabrics in the shape of flowy frocks, shorts and tank tops. Miami is also a melting pot of Cubans, Brazilians, Mexicans and more, so these cultures lend our locals carte blanche to wear more colorful and vibrant hues.
Emphasis On Colors
I adore pretty pastels during the summertime. Think lilacs, pinks and baby blues. These colors look really nice against a bronze Miami tan.

This Season's Biggest Trends
I can't get enough off-the-shoulder tops! It's a super flattering silohuette. I also love the return of lingerie-inspired dresses because they're so sexy yet chic at the same time. Also a must? Distressed denim shorts — just don't let your butt cheeks hang from the bottom. That's my pet peeve!
Confidence Is Everything
Only wear things you're comfortable and confident in. Fit is so important. And personally speaking, I always start an outfit choice with shoes (I know, weird!) and then build my look around that focal point. It works!
