I don't know how I feel about those vertical creases. It's unusual and I don't hate it, but I don't like it either. I do think the sailor-front can be very pretty ... I saw a pic of those there too.

I love white, denim, stripes, bright colors, 70s sillhouettes... it's all kind of glamorous too.

I like the first one, maybe with a different top. The flowy culottes and feminine shoes are pretty together.

And the jeans with the peasant top are totally me.

I am seeing espadrilles all over, so I guess those are hot this season?

I bought a pair of espadrilles many years ago, and they promptly stretched out and were unwearable. I've been skeptical ever since.

Maybe a sandal/espadrille combo.

I just bought 3 pairs at Old Navy... they do tend to wear out quickly. I wear them to work throughout the summer.

Super high wedges are pretty much everywhere too... they go well with the wide leg/flare pant.

I'm going to try them both on tomorrow.

Not into most of those trends except....love coral, and I've been wearing dressy shorts for years so glad there will be more to choose from!

Sheer, crop tops, etc, no thanks. I am fit, but just not my style. Nor am I into wide legs or high waisted pants, but they look good on others!

I don't like that type of seam at all. You have to be reed thin and even then they tend to bow and make the wearer look horrendous. The eye follows the line and the line has to be kept straight. Otherwise, ugg.

I love the type of seam, makes my legs look even longer. I'd wear them with 3" high heels. (I should point out, I have very narrow hips and thighs.)

Just what I'm talking about. The narrow hips and thighs are the clue. Good for you! With 3" heels your legs would end somewhere near the Canadian border.

Absolutely. If I were curvier, I wouldn't wear them... that said, I'd be wearing the right pants to rock my curves instead! Too many women don't embrace what they have. When we do, that is when we look our best, regardless of body type!
