With only four weeks left in school, shorts and tank tops are becoming increasingly popular around Palos Verdes High School. But to really define style this summer, here are a few key pieces to complement any wardrobe!

1.The “Flowy” Pant- As a favorite for many, flowy pants are a great addition to summer closets. Comfortable, affordable and cute, these bohemian print pants make any simple top pop.  Great for summer barbecues or a day at the beach, these pants are a definite go to during the summer.

2.Color Block Bikinis- Starting with the very popular Triangl bikinis, color block bikinis are making a huge splash this summer.  The color block is a great way to show off a tan at the beach.  For more affordable ways to pull off this style, stores such as Target and Forever 21 are also bringing these trends to market.

3.Lace Halter Bras- Already a popular item at Palos Verdes High School, lace halter bras are a good way to style a simple outfit.  While they add a nice contrast to clothing such as rompers and sun dresses, they can also be worn solo with a pair of high waisted shorts and cardigan.
