Inspired by the “Summer fashion for men?” thread. Can anyone tell me what’s going to be the popular summer styles for women this year? I’ve never followed fashion much, as I tend to choose less-than-revealing clothing due to my rather short and not very model-like figure. Most of the time I wear long flowered skirts and tank tops with a cotton button-down shirt over them, as well as sandals - this short girl is pleased to see wedges are still in style (are they?) Also I just bought my first capris in a long time, and they actually look good on me! If anyone says I dress too much like a mom, well, that’s because I am one. Deal with it.

Any other summer fashion-type stuff you female Dopers want to discuss? Guys also welcome to put in their $0.02.

Gladiator-style sandals are big this summer. I’m currently coveting [this pair](http://www.ninewest.com/n/browse/product.s?productId=2938449).

In general I’m loving the fact that bold colors and loose, flowing fabrics are in style right now.
