Set your skinny jeans aside for a moment, because this season is all about loose and relaxed fitting jeans—a trend spotted all over the S/S 21 collections.

Micro Mini Skirts

Hemlines just got way high for spring and summer exuding a playful, chic, and rebellious touch. A huge trend on the runways we can't wait to style one with a knit polo and flats.
