by Farirai Macheka

If you think you are a mere mortal when it comes to fashion trends, then think again. Extraordinary summer calls for you to be the ultimate rule bender. After all, rules are meant to be broken. Erase those rules that you have been sticking to and join the summer fun, as we give you a rundown of the rules that we will be kicking to the curb. From beauty to styling your clothes, get you notebook and get ready to take some notes.

The ‘wise’ fashion gods say you can't mix prints. Mixing prints looks messy? Wrong! We have been seeing awesome ways to mix prints and the double print/pattern trend isn't showing signs of waning anytime soon. Whether you love polka dots florals there is nothing so revolutionary like mixing prints. Here is how to master the art of mixing patterns:

  1. The trick is to create a fine balance for the double print trend e.g wearing big polka dots on top and small at the bottom and the reverse also applies
  2. It's in the 'hot mess' that a beautiful aesthetic is created. Embrace clashing prints, wear different prints that are in the same color pallets.
  3. Go for a coordinated color contrast for balanced look and to avoid looking like a hot mess.

Be fashion forward, don't be afraid to play around with you ginghams, florals, geometric patterns, it's not everyone`s cup of tea. Rock the trend with pride. This shows confidence and adds an element of fun to your look.

For the longest time you’ve been playing it safe and avoiding rocking clothes with embellishments and those that are super shiny. Prepare to dazzle in sequins during the day without batting an eyelid. Hooray! Your sequins can make it to daytime wear if you break them correctly. Whether it's sequined top, pants or skirts here is how you do it. You don't need to look like a disco lighting ball from head to toe. To tone down the sequins sassiness, pair them with your wardrobe staples -your sequined t-shirt with denim pants, skirts or shorts. Make sure they are not too structured and not too loud if you want to be more subtle and to nail the look.
