You Don’t Need to Sacrifice Fashion for Comfort

Recent Fashion trends are incorporating a great deal of comfort.

Witness: Ballet flats, the return of leggings (all lengths- wear what works for you) as well as so many woven fabrics that incorporate stretch.

My favorite outfit for summer outings is a pair of denim low rise Bermuda shorts (with Lycra) worn with a light weight jersey knit purple scoop neck top with a banded bottom. Easy to wear, easy to care for, and easy fitting.

In fact,  the hippest styles for spring summer are the littls drapey knit tops that have bare necklines, bare arms but don’t cling in the middle. They look great with skirts, leggings, jeans. Layer a simple tank under them if they are “too revealing”, and these little tops can transition to Fall when paired with a slim-fitting long sleeved layering top underneath.
