In recent years, ocean-inspired motifs were trending. That dip in the pool has become a full-blown dive into the depths of the mermaid fantasy. Well, what girl doesn’t want to look like a mermaid? Besides its sexy siren connotations, this fantasy look reminds us of the beach and summertime no matter what season we’re in. It’s not just good for evening because modern mermaid style can be incorporated into wearable daytime outfits. Traditional coastal wardrobe pieces are melding with sequins, pearls and shiny embellishments as well as luminescent fabrics and sea colors. Be assured that this is definitely something you can do! What was previously termed Mermaidcore, has grown up into what is now being called Summer Siren. So age doesn’t matter.
This post is updated to reflect the ever-changing styles of modern life.

I’ll guide you through the clothing elements of this so we can create beautiful outfits that bring out our true selves. I’d like to show you how to look like the goddess that you are.

Polka dots are trending this Spring and Summer, as they seem to do every year. Am I right?! That makes it a classic and as I always like to mention, that means age doesn’t matter. So I came up with eight outfit ideas for polka-dot skirts. That’s the only thing I have in that print, which led me to decide that I may as well keep this blog post simple. But it actually branched out a bit as I thought of more things. So I added a couple of other stylings including outfits for transitional weather, a little information on print mixing and a style tip at the end.
I hope you get inspired to come up with some new ways to wear your polka-dots clothes. You might even find something you’d like to buy, but that’s probably not necessary. Feel free to play with the pieces you have and enjoy!
