Sneak Peek: AEO Summer 2016 Collection

by

American Eagle Outfitters (AEO) for summer 2016 has a range of trends that you’ll be in the mood for when the season arrives, such as chambray, boho, crochet, and “borrowed from the boys.” Laid-back and easy-going encompasses the mood of this collection, with the inclusion of flowing wide leg bottoms, strappy sandals, loose fitting beach coverups, and peasant blouses. A usual staple for AEO, denim, is also prominent in the summer look book. Paired with colorful bohemian prints, stamped statement necklaces, and lace trimmed tanks and tees, it’s a look anyone can get on board with. In the accessories department, summer 2016 features woven sun hats, oversized sunglasses, and printed tote bags, all perfect for the beach.

With prices ranging from $16 to $159, it’s a cinch to find a piece or two that will quickly and affordably update a summer wardrobe. Most tops are priced somewhere in the middle (see the Lace Inset Cami, slide 12, $29.95), as is the denim (see the High Rise Festival Shorties, slide 15, $49.95). Most affordable are the accessories, like the super on-trend sunglasses in both tortoise and aviator styles ($15.95).

Since according to Punxsutawney Phil, spring is just a few short months away, and once the summer heat kicks in, these on-trend filmy blouses and short shorts will feel all the more delightful.

Eyewear with a strong fashion component is just as important as function, and  Zenni Optical totally gets it. Its newest eyewear lineup, The Metropolitan Collection was inspired by America’s greatest cities and the urban lifestyle found within them, featuring classic eyewear frame styles, remodeled for today’s modern fashion requirements. To further emphasize the style component, fashion designer and artist Timo Weiland served as the creative director for a short film inspired by the new styles. 

There are a total of 14 different frames to choose from, all named after influential urban architects, such as Olmsted (Central Park), Wright (Fallingwater), and Stone (Radio City Music Hall). Each style comes in a variety of colors, including neutral tones and vibrant tortoiseshell patterned hues, and is also available as sunglasses.

Zenni Optical prides itself on creating original and fashionable designs, both prescription and non-prescription, at very affordable prices. This collection is no different, with the frames ranging from $10 to $40. All frames in the collection will be available on ZenniOptical.com starting February 22nd.

Full Disclosure: Fashion Pulse Daily was given frames for editorial consideration.

Sneak Peek: Athleta for Summer 2016

by

Feeling confident, supported, comfortable, and stylish is essential to a solid work out free of distractions, no matter if you’re into CrossFit or restorative yoga.  I really have Athleta to thank for keeping me motivated while looking and feeling great in my work outs, which have taken quite an upswing in frequency in the past few months. Although yoga is my exercise of choice, I do like switching it up, which means versatility in dressing the part for the occasional swim, cycle, dance, or short burst running or circuit work out is of the essence.

For summer 2016, the brand once again delivers a perfect lineup of pieces designated for each activity, with style at the forefront, yet by no means trumping comfort and functionality. Expect a solid array of gorgeous yoga-oriented tops, ultra hip cropped swim tanks, perforated work out pants found in the brand’s signature breathable, “unstinkable” fabrics, and ever-fashionable, capsule collection of Derek Lam 10C Athleta.  Pieces considered to represent athleisure are ever-present, meaning you will have less outfit changes in your day, making getting a quick sweat session in way more feasible, plus opening up the opportunity for more “out and about” occasions to wear your favorite Athleta garments!
