This summer’s one shoulder trend gives you back a full range of motion. Bonus: The cool silhouette makes it much easier to wear a regular convertible bra instead of struggling with a strapless all day.

Out: Tiered-tassel Earrings

Ombré tassels had their moment, but now it’s time for a new statement earring to reign supreme. Plus, we're really over having to comb both our hair and our earrings before heading out the door.

Welcome, artsy abstract lines in a variety of metals, and in every color of the rainbow. Start simple with an oversize flat hoop or upside-down U, before graduating to twisted renderings or mismatched shapes.
