You Don’t Need a Pair of Blades to Rock the Skater Dress Trend! (thefind Guest Post)

by

From our friends at thefind.com:

The next winter Olympics may still be a full year away, but while we wait, we can get ready for the festivities by reaping the benefits of the latest athletic-inspired trend – skater dresses! Inspired by the sporty-feminine silhouette of an ice skater uniform, the skater dress is defined by its fitted bodice, flouncy skirt, and how-high-can-you-go hemline, which make this trend flirty, feminine, fun, and easy to wear. From rocker-chic faux leather and winter-friendly sweater dresses to spring-ready prints, this trend is transition-friendly enough to work for multiple seasons, day-to-night occasions, and a variety personal styles depending on your choice of accessories. Plus, if you were like me and dressed up as Nancy Kerrigan for Halloween in 1st grade (guilty!), this trend is your second chance at perfecting the look, embarrassment-free!

From left to right: Motel Rocks Deluxe Medusa Faux Leather Skater Dress, Free People Shimmer Skater Dress, Glamorous Belted Skater Dress In Geo Maze Print, and Nasty Gal Censored Skater Dress.

Even though it may be fluctuating around eighteen degrees in NYC, LOFT has us thinking ahead to what awaits us in the warm summer days of 2013.  Here’s an exclusive sneak peek of the brand’s Summer 2013 collection, that will hit stores in the beginning of April, featuring bold colors and interesting textures mixed with exotic prints.

The versatility of these outfits is  of course, the essence of the LOFT brand, making any single one of these pieces great for the office, beach, or even a night out with your gal pals. Stand out pieces include the maxi dresses and both the short and pant rompers. And lastly, another personal favorite, is the killer accessories! The necklaces, bracelets, and even the clutches had an on-trend quality that will bring personality to any outfit you choose!

We are counting down the days ’til these great pieces are at LOFT (and counting down to the warmer weather too!)

Arriving in stores in April, but available for a sneak peek now is the Summer 2013 collection from American Eagle Outfitters and aerie! Inspired by music festivals, expect a laid back, collection, with nods toward late 19960s and early 1970s rock festivals. Beautifully embroidered multi-tonal pieces abound, alongside high-waisted, frayed cut-off shorts, accessorized with miniature knapsacks in order to keep all of your festival goodies in one secure, convenient, and stylish place.  aerie  keeps your underpinnings happy and bright with lovely new colorways for super soft tees, nighties, boyfriend tanks, bras, panties, crocheted boxers, and more. There’s also some new swim offerings that will come in handy when the temperature hovers in the ’90s; with this cold spell we’ve been having, I can only hope that weather that warm happens, and happens soon!
