With school winding down for the year and temperatures heating up, that can only mean one thing: summer is here! As summer is just around the corner, we are anxiously awaiting to break out our summer wardrobe. For those of us in the part of the country that actually has the four seasons, the warm weather is welcomed with open arms. For those lucky #AlyceGirls in the warmer parts of the country, these trends can be incorporated into your look ASAP. Here are some of our must-have fashion trends for summer.

Summer Straw Hats
Graphic tees have always been on our radar as a fashion statement. With the increasing risk of skin cancer and other effects from damaging UV rays, we always advise opting for a self-tanner glow as opposed to basking in the sun. For the summer beach days, it is best to protect your skin with a wide rimmed hat. Graphic writing straw hats will be a hit this summer and a way to make a  beach-y statement.
