It’s all in the details, especially when it comes to dresses. From modern, hi-necklines to strappy cutouts, there’s a dress to fit your personal #AEOSTYLE. One dress that has it all is the Mock Neck Cutout Shoulder Dress – this style features a bold print, mock neck, bell sleeves and cutout shoulders (basically, every detail wrapped in one!). Blogger Janelle Lloyd from Wait, You Need This took this dress to another level by adding an on-trend bandana around the neck and pairing it with super high over-the-knee boots. Keep reading to see Janelle’s full look & discover the inspiration behind her outfit, and if you love her #AEOSTYLE, make sure to check out her last post with us styling the Tomgirl Jean!

What Inspired Janelle’s Look:
“The long sleeve and cut out shoulder make this dress an ideal piece for transitioning into the new season. With fall in the air, I couldn’t wait to pull out my favorite statement boots for a seventies-inspired look. I also like to subtly mix prints on occasion, and thought a bandana was an on-trend way to do just that.”

Nights are getting cooler, but #AEOSTYLE is heating up. We’re feeling the 90s revival that’s happening all throughout fashion right now, and it’s been fun injecting hints of the trend into our everyday look (think lace blouses, chokers, studs & more). One of the main players in the 90s trend is the miniskirt, and we’re so excited to be able to make the most of this classic closet piece again! This season, our miniskirts range from dark denim to cozy corduroy to soft faux-suede & have surprise details like scalloped edges and studs. Blogger Sharon Wu from Style Lullaby styled the Zip-Up Studded Skirt, which is perfect for a night out or weekends roaming. Keep reading to see Sharon’s full look & discover the inspiration behind her outfit.

What Inspired Sharon’s Look:
“September is not only the month that it starts to cool down in time for fall, it is also the month that many are returning back to school. In light of summer coming to an end, this monochromatic look serves as the perfect outfit transitioning into autumn!

This black studded faux-suede skirt is perfect for everyday wear this season. It exudes the right amount of edge and cool, while providing lasting comfort. Worn with a simple white blouse and block sandals with metal-detailing, this skirt is sure to turn heads both in and out of the classroom.”

Lace details and breezy fabrics were made for effortless #AEOSTYLE. If there’s one thing we love about summer fashion, it’s the no-fuss nature of the season. We’re still deep into the trend of pairing dreamy, feminine silhouettes with edgier, worn-them-forever pieces for a look that’s equal parts free spirit and urban-chic. One of our favorite shirts from the latest collection, the AEO Lace Bell Sleeve Shirt, is on our must-have list right now for that very reason. Blogger Alyssa May styled the shirt with an easy, cool-girl vibe that’s perfect for the end of summer heat. Keep reading to see Alyssa’s full look & discover the inspiration behind her outfit.

What Inspired Alyssa’s Look:
“When it comes to picking out an outfit, comfort is always my priority! Sure, of course I care about the way it looks– but feeling comfortable (and confident) in your outfit is just as important. This top is perfect for the summer because of it’s light and airy material. I especially love the lace and wide bell sleeves, as it gives it a bohemian vibe. Let’s just say, a flowy top and distressed shorts is my favorite combination for a warm summer’s day.”
