Summer is a time for lightweight clothing that makes you feel free and comfortable while still looking your best. Nice weather always makes people more likely to want to go out and try new things, whether it be a new hobby, a new café or even a new coffee order.
This Fashionista was ready to hit the town for brunch with some friends for Memorial Day weekend. What I loved most about this look was that it was so unique and chic. It was also comfortable for this warm weather. The elaborately patterned elephant flared pants go perfect with the more simple and sheer beige crop top. Flared patterned pants are becoming a more sophisticated and feminine version of the gaucho pants, and I think they are a must-have for every Fashionista this summer. This style proves that you can still look fancy while wearing pants. The necklace is really what makes the outfit good for brunch because it heightens the status of the outfit, making it look more elegant and dainty. Also, this Fashionista puts her own twist on the outfit by adding her floral headband, which is her own signature summer look that goes well with her boho-chic outfit. Floral headbands are very popular, especially in warmer seasons, and when they are made tastefully, such as this one, they can make an outfit either look more graceful or spruce it up a bit.
Lastly, the booties help keep the pants from dragging on the floor and also add more height to the Fashionista so that the flared pants do not shorten her legs. Leather shoes with decorative cutouts are a big trend as well, especially in the summertime when people are more likely to wear heels. These shoes are the finishing touch to this Fashionista’s brunch look.
One Simple Change: One thing I would change about this outfit is to having a simple top that does not have extra fringe at the bottom since the pants are already so elaborate. I would also suggest a more form fitted shirt to contrast with the loose pants. Adding a more form fitted top could make this outfit better for a girl’s night out.

My name is Louise Puma, bust most people call me Weizee. I’m a Public Relations major with a Women’s Studies minor, from SUNY New Paltz. I cannot wait to be able to show off all the summer trends this year, especially because summer is my favorite fashion season! I am ecstatic about having the opportunity to be a Style Guru for CollegeFashionista this semester.
I am from Staten Island, New York and my grandmother, who I am named after, was my biggest fashion role model. She was always wearing chunky and loud statement necklaces and earrings, some of which she has passed on to me and I still wear today. I have loved fashion since I was a little girl because it was something that brought me and my grandmother together and gave us something to bond over.
Fashion is a form of self-expression, first impressions matter, and fashion is a perfect way of showing people who you are as a person and always has been a way for me to show my confidence. Ralph Lauren once said, “Fashion is about something that comes from within you.” I see fashion as a source of empowerment, especially for women, because there are so many different unique styles we are now able to fully explore and let our personality and character thrive through our fashion. I enjoy wearing bold earrings and statement necklaces, because I see them as a way of showing that I may be small but I can make an impact.
Earrings and necklaces are my guilty pleasure because there are so many different styles and they can dress up any outfit. I love to both dress up but also enjoy dressing casual. I think it is important to have a multifaceted fashion sense that shows through no matter what you are wearing.
I cannot wait to start this incredible learning experience as a Style Guru and be able to take full advantage of this opportunity. I am excited to explore how others express themselves through their very own and unique fashion sense. Fashion is happening everywhere, and college campuses are one of the best places to see new, innovative and courageous styles, and I cannot wait to show them all off!
