Be Hippy, Be Happy
Think Lisa Bonet circa 1990 in New York City—the hippy look is easily one of the biggest comebacks we’re looking at this year. Go crazy with the prints and don’t be afraid of accessories that will elevate your look. We’re thinking of patterns, knits, and even bold colors.
Shop the Women's Summer V Neck Tiered Maxi Dress, $177.95 - Ivory
A maxi tiered dress may look cute but with the right accessories, it can exude the hippy vibe you need. Shell accessories, a wide hat, and crocheted bag can completely change the whole look!

Lastly, take your summer kimonos and put it over to finish the ensemble. It adds a layer of chic to a rather laid back look!
Cop the crop
Capri pants are the last to make a comeback with this trend. We’ve always tucked this away since the Y2K has passed but it’s time to bust out these cropped babies again. Not a trouser but not a pair of shorts, we’re bringing back capri this year.
There are many ways to wear this look but you can never go wrong with basics. Capri pants in different jean washes or colors should be your go-to. You can wear it with a hanging tee, the look completed by hoop earrings and a shoulder bag in bright color. Now, if that doesn’t scream Lizzy McGuire then we don’t know what does. Capri leggings are great for an easy workout. 
Bringing Style Back
What we love about the ‘90s and Y2K trends is the fact that we’ve already been there. We’ve seen it, we’ve worn it. Now, it’s just like coming home and getting comfortable with the looks that made our youth!
