Trend on Trend on Trend

As a general rule, I try not to follow trends too much. This summer though... that's not happening. I've been loving everything that's come out - off the shoulder tops, culottes, lace up, tassel sandals, and now crop flares, which I didn't actually think would look as good on me as they do. Here, I combined four major summer trends - cropped flare denim, an off the shoulder top, tassel sandals and my new favourite hairstyle, the half up bun. I actually kind of want to buy a neckerchief (probably the one trend I haven't wanted to jump on), because let's face it, it would look awesome with this outfit.

Living in Korea, I find they definitely have their own take on these trends. Super soft denim or chambray culottes are a lot more popular than cropped flares or wide-legged jeans, as are super destroyed hems vs cut-off or selvage. Off the shoulder tops aren't really off the shoulder, but usually have some straps and more of a cold shoulder (because as I've said before, bare shoulders can be pretty scandalous and may cause couples to breakup). It's really interesting to see their interpretations of runway and street trends even though full Korean style trendy isn't really my thing. Korea can really take street trends to the extreme, or at least until your upper torso is showing.
