5 Tips For Wearing This Summer's Hottest Trends Flawlessly

Fashion influencers may be a point of inspo, but we all know summer style is about making the trends your very own. Amp up your summer wardrobe with Macy's!

Sierra Furtado is wearing Free People shorts, and Avec Les Filles flats, paired with a Tommy Hilfiger tote.

Personal styling tip: The cold-shoulder trend looks awesome on everyone, so pair it with a flouncy skirt or flowy summer shorts to add movement to your lower half. This will contrast great with the sleekness of your bare shoulders.

Add a secondary trend: Flats are huge this summer — there are mules, slides and espadrilles — and, thank goodness, because comfort is key on those super-hot days. Bonus: They pair great with cold-shoulder tops because they add a low-key vibe to a feminine piece!

Vashtie Kola is wearing a ban.do tee and Guess jeans.

Personal styling tip: The best thing about an expressive statement tee is that there is one for everyone's personality. Vashtie keeps it chill with "No Bad Days" and plays it up with relaxed pants and comfy kicks. She polishes it all off with a clean mani and delicate jewelry.

Add a secondary trend: You know those artfully ripped jeans you've been seeing all spring? Get used to them, because they're stayin' for the summer. Denim shorts are the look, and that DIY vibe is strong with sew-on patches.

Jenn Im is wearing a Lucky Brand bikini top, ASTR shorts, Michael Kors sunnies, and INC International Concepts earrings and is lounging on a Martha Stewart Collection beach towel.

Personal styling tip: The best part about a bright trend is that there are colors that work for absolutely everyone: Cooler complexions look amazing in cooler colors (blues, greens, purples), while warmer complexions stand out in warmer colors (reds, yellows, oranges). Jenn has a golden undertone so she's rocking warmer brights like a boss.

Add a secondary trend: Statement earrings are BACK, honey. Nothing works better with that bare shoulder staple than big earrings with playful shapes, candy colors, and lots of dangle.

Louise Roe is wearing an INC International Concepts top, Charter Club pants, and ALDO shoes.

Personal styling tip: If bold patterns aren't typically your thing, you can still rock a summer statement stripe by relegating it to just one piece of your outfit: either your top, your pants, or your bag.

Add a secondary trend: The statement sleeve trend that's everywhere this summer works well with a bold stripe since they offset each other to create a playfulness that's both feminine and commanding.

Vashtie Kola is wearing a J.O.A dress.

Personal styling tip: Don't trust anyone who says florals are strictly for spring. This print is "in" all summer long, so get a statement printed dress to do the talking for you by keeping the rest of your look fuss-free, letting your natural beauty shine.

Add a secondary trend: If you're ever not sure which summer 2017 trend will work with basically any other trend, say it with us: bare shoulders.
