Maybe those hems get a little hot dragging around your ankles, so give that cuff a big roll up and put on a pair of cute sandals to complete your look. Eye-Popping Brights Eye Popping Bright colors have been the THE news in fashion this year. What’s different for summer is color on the bottom – skirts and pants worn with neutral tops are making a comeback....

For evening top with a shrug or lacy shawl to cover shoulders that get cold in restaurant air conditioning. Note her pretty gold wedge sandals- another important trend in accessories- metallics. Even phone accessories have jumped on the brights trend – this phone case in turquoise completes a stylish summer outfit....

Full View  Higher Waistline Not only are the styles bright in color, but look for waistlines on skirts and jeans to begin moving upwards. The styles pictured in this store window offer three moves to the middle. The mannequin in the center has a modified medium rise waistline, the skirt falls at the natural waist and the white jeans have moved above for a truly high-waisted look. Also not seen since the early 1990′s....

One thing we know for sure, New York is always ahead of the fashion curve, and we are a pretty casual bunch here in North Carolina. —————————————————————————————————— Lindsey Chester is Associate Publisher of CaryCitizen and a former women’s wear designer in New York City....

Hats were everywhere and on everyone, not just the uber fashion-forward. Once a trend goes mainstream in Manhattan the sidewalk stalls stock it cheap- like $5 for a hat. The straw pork pie and fedora

These young fashionistas exemplify the look here:  high-waisted city shorts, fitted tops (on both guy and girl) , the porkpie hat, and tortoiseshell eyeglasses. These folks look decidedly nerdy.
