Trend Report: Lace-Up Tops and Baseball Hats

I’ve always been a fan of baseball hats. Growing up in Montana, wearing a baseball hat during the summer was second nature. I never thought I’d see the day where fashionistas complemented their Fendi sunglasses, Chloe bags, and glossy curls with baseball hat.

Similar to the bomber jacket, we can attribute the spike in baseball hat sales to the growing athleisure trend…and of course the *cough* Yeezy Spring 2016 Collection *cough.*

All I have to say is, I’m ready to ride this trend till the end. Nothing solved a Hot Mess hair moment quite like a baseball hat…and now they’re chic? Uh yeah, I’ll take 5 please.

In perfect harmony with the baseball hat comes the lace-up top.  1970’s inspiration hit the runway a few seasons back and the lace-up top surfaced as a 2016 spring/summer trend.

I snagged this lace-up top from my local Buffalo Exchange – have I mentioned I’ve gotten into thrifting lately? The lace-up trend has translated into other pieces like shoes, skirts, pants, and body suits. Based on the amount of skin you want to show, lace-up pieces can get pretty sexy. And who’s complaining about that when it’s 80 degrees and we finally have a tan? It’s about time.

I paired this trendy look with my latest Rocksbox jewelry by Gorjana. I love small, dainty jewelry because I don’t have to worry about it not matching my outfits and it’s always comfortable. Use code: hotdresshotmessxoxo to get a free month of Rocksbox!

Some flat sandals, high waist shorts, and a striped cross body finish off this trendy, casual summer look.
