So upgrade your wardrobe and stock up on these must-haves from Forever 21. Then try our little tricks on how to wear them in the most fabulous way.
Pastel perfect
A rainbow of soft shades reigns, whether or not the sun is shining bright. The best thing about the pastel trend is how you can pick your most flattering color and wear it with whatever silhouette flatters you. You can also mix and match with the perfect pastels to fix up one entire look.
Mood booster
For lazy days and cozy nights, the good ol’ comfy but cute knit sweater is your best friend. Pair with floral denim shorts for a bit more edge. Then, you’re all set to run a few errands around town or cuddle up before that TV series you’ve been dying to marathon-watch.
Easy, breezy, beautiful
The kimono jacket is a bright, breezy and comfortable way to kick your outfit up a notch. You’ll love it so much that you might start singing the 1980s punk-pop song, “(I Think I’m) Turning Japanese.” For your kimono not to look too big and overpowering, pair it with slim and form-fitting lace romper. The solid column of white also brings out the bright blue floral print of this perfect kimono.
Opposites attract
Who would have thought that an edgy muscle tee and floral-print trousers could conquer the day? But opposites attract. These two pieces are essentials separately and individually. But when put together, they create an even more eye-catching outfit.
Summer fever
Want to go all out with summer style? Pick out pieces that define all things summer. This tribal-print maxi matched with strappy sandals and bright orange floppy hat will instantly give you that summer high. But when it gets a tad colder, you can always throw on your reliable denim jacket.
Quirks that work
On days you want to be a bit more adventurous, you can play around with all kinds of patterns, just like this raincoat showered with daisies. You can add a good dose on a monochromatic outfit or go print-on-print to shake up your look. With patterns and prints, the quirkier, the better!
