Sea and Be Seen: The Under the Sea Fashion Trend Continues

The catch of the day is ‘under the sea’ fashion, which has been a trend for some time now.  It’s not letting up, and inspiration can be found everywhere from accessories, to seascaped printed pieces and in aquatic blue tones.

The beauty of how this trend has evolved is that you can embrace it quite literally or in a more subtle manner by incorporating the shades resembling water.   

Personally, I think I’ll take this trend in small doses, in a more abstract way, but to each their own.

If you choose a seascape print to embrace this trend, I urge you to create balance by not going overboard.   One under the sea inspired element is all you need.  Anything more and people may start calling you the ‘sea lady’.

The beauty of this print is that it says summery beach without being too literal.  To add a hit of additional sea inspiration in an elegant manner, the sand dollar ring was added.

Keep in mind, you can embrace the whole under the sea fashion trend and not dress head-to-toe in aquatic colors.  The teal hues lend themselves as a great pop accent to any other color you choose to wear.  In this case, the blues add a zing to the coral dress.
