Confession time: I can't stop looking at those photos from Barbie & Ken The Movie. I mean Margot & Ryan. Will they be our style icons this summer? Am I the only one that craves those fluorine shorts?
When niche brands Like Dolly Sports and well-known brands like Mara Hoffman and Nanushka go for Barbie pink and ultra bold, bolder, boldest, you just know it. It's going to be a huge trend. This style is best for the beach, as active wear and doesn't look out of place in your festival wardrobe. It comes with a warning sign though: don't overdo it.
Be sure to let me know what you've got. Dying to know. Tag #founditonthecosmospolite or DM
