1. Off the Shoulder Sleeves

Like many a bridesmaid look of recent years, this one started as a bridal trend (thanks to the ever stylish Amal Clooney) but has quickly become popular for bridesmaids too. Part boho babe, part glamorous siren it’s easy to see why. And I can’t think of a more perfect season to wear them than Summer when those shoulders will be sun-kissed. Just have your girls be careful of straps and tan lines leading up to the wedding and don’t forget to pack some sunscreen for the big day!
