Easygoing, feminine, sophisticated, and pairs just like a neutral—it’s no wonder blush is summer’s favorite shade of pink. Take a look at some new and fun ways to incorporate the soft shade into your look right now from your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Silk Tank

Silk tanks are an essential summer piece: it shows off skin and keeps things cool while also giving off an incredibly polished and sophisticated vibe. For this summer, try it in a subdued blush pink silk to go with all your pencil skirts and distressed denim.

Crepe Shorts

On the days when it’s just too hot for jeans, it’s easy to fall back on the same sundress time and time again. A classy and more unexpected alternative is this chic silk tank and blush crepe shorts combo. The colors and fabrics are just right for the warm weather—light and playful.

Lace Top

While lace doesn’t immediately come to mind when you think everyday summer dressing, it’s actually quite perfect for just that. It keeps you covered up and semi-protected from the sun (SPF is still, and always, needed) while allowing air to flow to the skin. To temper the fancy vibe, pair your lace with casual pieces; this blush lace top with distressed denim look hits all the marks.

Chiffon Kimono

Live in plan cotton Tees and jeans all summer long? You need to add a blush chiffon kimono to your wardrobe immediately. It takes your casual uniform and transforms it into a party-worthy look in a single instant, no brain power necessary.

Naturally breathable, airy, and light, cotton is an essential part of the warm weather wardrobe. And as luck would have it, Fashion Fabrics Club is having a major cotton fabric sale right now. Here is a roundup of 5 must-have cotton pieces for this season with links to fabrics so you can make your own at home!

Denim Skirt

Denim is a live-in fabric all year round, but for this summer we’re seeing a lot of ‘90s throwbacks like embroidered denim jackets and frayed hem denim skirts like this number here. The denim skirt is a catchall for what to wear all spring and summer long being the perfect mix of dressy and casual.

Cotton Sateen Trousers

When the temps are hot yet the day requires you to look buttoned up, cropped trousers are the answer. For something a little unexpected and a lot on-trend, swap the traditional suiting fabric for a lustrous cotton sateen. It plays on the shine trend that’s so hot right now and gives the menswear-inspired piece a more feminine appeal.

Gauze Dress

A one-piece look that you can toss on when the temperatures start creeping up to the triple digits is essential for keeping your cool. A floaty gauze dress fits the bill in every way: lightweight, breezy, airy, and incredibly on-trend.

Cotton Canvas Shorts

Cotton canvas offers the perfect mix of structured and slouch that’s required of summer shorts—you want to be able to toss them on any old day and also be polished enough to dress them up for more formal events. To get the most wear out of your pair, opt for an easy neutral like black, white, or any shade of tan.

Cotton Chambray Shirt

Warm weather dressing is all about ditching the stuffy stuff and embracing the softer side of the sartorial spectrum. That’s where the cotton chambray button up comes in—consider it the relaxed sister of the traditional crisp cotton button up (and pair it the exact same way).

Freshen up your look for spring with the addition of spring-ready florals. Whether you prefer dark and romantic motifs or fun, playful prints there’s an option for every closet. Take a look at Fashion Fabric’s Club roundup.

Chiffon Top

Chiffon is one of those magical fabrics that combines a luxurious look with a casual feel—just the thing for effortless spring dressing. Try a floral chiffon top (extra chic points for a trendy silhouette like this off-the-shoulder number) paired with your crisp summer whites for a look that can take you from day to night.

Silk Kimono

A silk floral kimono transforms basic outfits into full-on looks in an instant. Perfect for every festival and brunch on your social calendar this spring. Added bonus, it doubles as a chic robe too!

Jersey Culottes

When the temperature starts to creep up into the triple digits, slouchy and breathable pieces become absolutely essential. A pair of floral jersey culottes are just that: the jersey lets air flow freely and feels like you’re wearing pajamas, yet they have a look that’s polished enough to be office worthy.

Satin Skirt

Gone are the days when traditionally “formal” fabrics are reserved for special occasions. In fact, adding a special piece like a floral satin skirt will unexpectedly expand and extend your wardrobe. Pair it with a casual striped top for a cute daytime look, tone it down even more by pairing it with a chambray button up or crop top sweater. Pair with flats, heels, even sneakers—there’s very little this piece doesn’t work with.

Breathable, airy, and light—there’s no wonder why linen is a warm weather essential. Take a peek at Fashion Fabrics Club’s round up of how to add the loveliness of linen to your look right now.

Get ready for picnic season with spring’s favorite print: gingham. Here are five fun ways to add it to your look right now, courtesy of your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Leggings

Leggings are the ultimate lounging piece, but in a fun pattern like gingham, they suddenly become day date worthy. Let them be the star of the show and pair with simple extras like a solid black T and tailored flats.

Accent

Bold prints and striking silhouettes are on the fashion horizon. Read Fashion Fabrics Club’s roundup of the most wearable and most-wanted trends from the runways of the past month’s Fashion Weeks around the globe.

Survival Clothes

Utilitarian silhouettes and fabrics (or “survival clothes” as Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour calls it) were seen marching the runways of multiple designer collections in New York. These designs are intended to keep the wearer warm and cozy. The most prevalent trend? Quilting—seen in jackets, pants, and even skirting.

Seeing Spots

All animal print, all day. We’re seeing spots—and zebra stripes, tiger print, even cow print—in everything from outerwear to handbags, suiting to shoes, and everything in-between.

Futuristic Fabrics

Mesmerizing metallic and interesting iridescent fabrics ruled the runway, showing up in everything from flowy foiled frocks to structured holographic-like trenches.

Plaid on Print

Plaid continues to be an important and popular print on the fashion scene, but this time around it finds a new partner: other bold prints. Try it with romantic, dark-based florals, leopard print, or even other plaids.

Hot Pink

The time of the low-key millennial pink is over, and it’s being replaced with its bright, bold sister: hot pink.

Leather Trenches

Leather trenches never go out of style, but for fall ’18, the more Matrix-like, the better. Options ranges from boxy genuine leather styles to voluminous shiny polyvinyl.

Faux Furs

The faux fur coat is a fluffy, vegan-friendly piece that has been a staple in the wardrobes of the fashion set for a while now, but now more than ever we’re seeing extra emphasis on the “faux,” rendered in fantastical shades like power red, tangerine, mint green, and golden yellow.

It can be easy to fall into a style rut during transition season, but Fashion Fabrics Club has the answer. Here are some easy ways to inject excitement into your look that you can copy right now.

Leopard Button-Up

Update your go-to black denim with a lovely leopard chiffon button up. What’s great about adding this piece to your wardrobe is that it’s not only timeless and works all year round, but it’s also incredibly versatile, pairing just like a neutral.

Floral Kimono

A silky floral kimono is the perfect top layer on warmer near-spring days, and transforms a laidback jeans-and-a-T outfit into a double take-worthy look. Bonus: It can double as a chic robe for around-the-house lounging, too!

Gingham Button Up

An easy way to inject your go-to ripped jeans and classic white T with some springtime cool, simply add a gingham button up to the mix. You can wear it around your waist on temperamental days, and on cooler days layer a sweater over the top and have the pattern peeking out at the collar and cuffs.

Geometric Bomber

For a cute look that can seamlessly go from desk to drinks, try a pair of solid cigarette pants and a simple blouse with a geometric print bomber jacket. For day, you can tone it down be pairing it with tailored flats, and for off-duty fun swap for a pair of heels to kick things up a notch.

Plaid Blanket Scarf

If you don’t already own one, add a plaid blanket scarf to your collection immediately! It’s that perfect piece to leave by the front door to grab on your rush out the door when it’s unexpectedly chilly and makes for the perfect travel companion, acting like a blanket en route and chic scarf upon arrival.

Spring is just around the corner, and that means it’s time to start shedding heavy layers…and the heavy winter color palette. Adding soft, muted hues and playful pastels to your look is the perfect place to start. Here are some suggestions from your friends at Fashion Fabrics Club.

Lightweight Trench

The slouchy, lightweight trench has become a transition season essential, and has a way of transforming easy looks into enviable ensembles. Take this pale pink polyester number as example, the look underneath is super basic, but once the trench is added it’s suddenly double take-worthy.

Silk Joggers

Sweatshirt and fleece joggers are a live-in in the wintertime, but once the temps start to warm a lighter option is necessary. In pink silk, the athletic-inspired silhouette not only becomes decidedly feminine but also richly upscale, and offers just the right weight for rising temps.

Tulle Skirt

Swap the jeans for a flirty pale blue tulle skirt and watch your favorite sweater become instantly spring-ready. This look is perfect for more formal outings, but a simple shoe change to simple flats and the addition of an edgy moto jacket would make it perfect for casual wear.

Chiffon Skirt

If you’re looking for something a little more subdued than the tulle skirt, opt for a classic midi pleated skirt. In a soft shade like pale blue chiffon, it will pair well with your other staples while adding a playful springy twist.

Slinky Top

Craving coverage is totally understandable considering we’re still technically in the throes of winter. To keep your jacket-and-jeans look on the lighter, springier side, pair it with a slinky pale purple top and fun, colorful accessories.

In a style slump? You’re not alone—this in-between-season weather can make a puzzle out of outfit prep. Luckily, Fashion Fabrics Club has the answer: chic black-and-white looks. Find your new go-to for whatever is coming up on your social calendar.

Weekending

A casual cotton Tee in black-and-white stripes paired with black twill cigarette pants is a failsafe look for every weekend outing from brunching to errand running.

Day-to-Night

For an elegant look that can easily go from day to night, try a long-sleeved black cotton T underneath a slinky white silk slip dress. Pair with your favorite pair of boots (and tights if you need an extra layer of warmth) and watch how this look seamlessly transitions to twilight.

Desk to Drinks

By cleverly combining edginess and preppy appeal—collared white chiffon top under a black cropped sweater, faux leather skinnies and black patent pumps—this look is just the thing for those days when there’s no time for an outfit change between work and off-duty plans.

Jet Setting

Traveling in style is all about picking the right fabrics and this monochrome look checks all the necessary boxes. A cool white cotton T, stretchy black denim jeans, and a gingham button up as a top layer backup.

Gala-ing

Have a fundraiser or charity ball coming up? Black and white is the perfect pick: simple, sophisticated, elegant. You can try something like this satin number, using a cool colorblocked effect to inject a cool modern vibe to the classically feminine gown.

Valentine’s Day plans? Fashion Fabrics Club has the perfect look for anything on your social calendar. Check out our cute roundup of easy-yet-impactful looks for the day of love.

Heart Wrap

The ever-popular wrap dress is the perfect flirty silhouette for a Valentine’s Day look, and to make it even more loveable, turn it out in a fun heart print fabric. From far away it looks like a traditional polka dot pattern, making it a cute pick for a day at the office or a casual night out.

Red Lace

If you’re looking for a little more va-va-voom for say a hot date or the possibility of running into an ex, try a red lace sheath dress. The peek-a-boo effect of the fabric gives it sex appeal without venturing towards risqué.

A Pop of Red

This is the perfect look for a corporate office, just enough polish plus a pop of personality. The houndstooth pencil skirt keeps things classically chic while the red crepe bell-sleeved top lends a modern, Valentine’s Day-appropriate vibe.

Red Sweater

Looking for an outfit that can take you from desk to drinks in an instant? Your search ends here. And the answer is simpler than you think. Simply pair your favorite black jeans with a red sweater and some killer red pumps. Done and done.

Silk Top

For a look that’s a little more daring and a little less conventionally cute, try a look like this from the Zac Posen ’17 resort collection. The slinky red silk top gives an air of romance and femininity that’s complemented by the tailored black shorts (for cold-weather climates simply add black tights, or swap the shorts for full-length trousers).
